If I forget( which I haven,t done yet) the fridge is going to flatten the van batteries,not the tow car battery.
If you run an isolator it cant flatten the start battery, however, if you forget to switch to gas whilst on the house battery you run the risk of damaging it which can be $$'s.
I run an anderson for the fridge from the car through a Redarc isolator and have a seperate anderson from the house battery which i can plug my portable solar (180w) or ARKPAK (130ah) into.
