    Called into jay car today to get some wire and terminals and the way the guy there was talking seemed like the battery isn't getting enough power.
    Trust you got at least 6mm2 wire/conductors and inline fuses. Engel sockets hook up wire are fused (10 amp fore both +ve & -ve wires).

    As mentioned it is worthwhile to go to battery shop and get your battery load tested and they should also check your alternator output (all loads on & off). It is in their best interest as they want to sell batteries (now or later).

    Battery is a Deep cycle calcium. The colour indicator is saying that it needs to be charged. I will keep an eye on this over the next week.
    This is good. But, IMO and if time allows I would still go and get your battery and alternator check out now (get a performance baseline as reference), then stick it on the charger and see how all holds up. Your call.

    This was all done with it plugged into the aux battery via a cig plug which is in the back cargo area
    When you run your dedicated +ve and -ve wires for the fridge don't use a cigarette / aux socket, get a proper Engel plug and socket (a screw in solid connection). Will avoid a poor electrical connection, the fridge being disconnected resulting vibration or being accidentally pulled out.
