Firstly welcome - and especially welcome because you are offering much wanted information. Sounds like you have done what I want to do, I'd much appreiciate any instructions etc.

Assume you have added a split relay to charge ?

Hi
yes i have a split relay .I made a battery tray and fitted to the left hand side under the bonnet ive connected a 35 amp wire from the + side of the car battery with a 30 amp fuse as near to the car battery as i could i then ran the 35 amp wire to the split relay(12v 70amp) (from my local Breakers) and to another 30 amp fuse as near to the second battery + terminal and connected it to the + side of the battery.
and ran a good earth to the bolt hole on the inner wing from the Neg side of the lesurie battery

the low tension side of the relay(small spades) is run to the fuse box that is live when ign is on and the other connection to earth
step two

the + wire is then run into the cab next to the fuse box by the steering wheel then ive fitted a new fuse box to the panel under the steering wheel, put the power wire to one side of the new fuse box(looped from one spade to the next),on the other side of the new fuse box i ran seperate wires to the car fuse panel removed the fuses from the car fuse panel that i want to run from lesurie battery and pluged the new wires into the bottom half of the fuse holder (very small spade connectors)make sure you use the right size fuses in the new fuse box.
this is what I have done the reason i did not want to cut the wires on the loom dont know if there is a better way but this WORKS FOR ME im no leccy so its up to you if you want to try this ,
Would like any feedback good or bad were all here to help each other if we can
