Originally only the eberspacher, the fridge and the waterpump are on the leisure battery.

Easy fix is to buy a cig lighter socket extension of fleabay etc, just clips onto the battery terminals.
Bought one for a few quid that you can re-wind like an electric extension, saves lots of wires hanging around.

There is a mod for running the radio, interior lights, cig lighter etc from the leisure battery - would highly recommend it! http://www.brick-yard.co.uk/forum/westy-interior-light-radio-mod_topic11446.html
