Oh ok. Thanks for pointing that out. A dead aux batt would suck. Especially since I'm hitting the road soon. hmmmm.... Maybe I could connect the white and blue to actuator connecton at isolater solenoid. That way with engine running, both "relays" would be on. Or better yet do that but put a switch on white wire. That way I could turn on fridge relay when needed for short stops or leave it on if I don't want to use LP while driving. (though I have many times) Am I on the right track?
