How should a fridge be wired up?

Hopefully a quick question around leisure and vehicle battery, zig unit and fridge.
I have a converted freda and have been looking round it to get my head round how everything works. Well I'm a little confused to say the least.
The fridge is wired directly to the vehicle battery, I thought it would be wired to the leisure battery. That is why I had a flat battery when I tried to start the engine after being away for a couple of nights and wasn't on an electric hook up. But then reading the zig unit manual it is correct to be wired directly to the vehicle battery, this just does not seem right to me.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
