From the factory, Westfalia camper package, with single battery, used one
realy, in the aux battery compartment, that  would provide 12v to the
refrigerator when the engine was running only.  At least that's what I
understand.  All the rest of the aux stuff (radio, lights, etc) had to come
off the starting battery.
