Question: Power for fridge - direct to battery?

[Cam]

Hi all, I am having some drawers and a fridge installed.

After advice on wiring fridge direct to aux battery vs via existing power in boot or tails in aux battery space?

Should it be switched by the OH panel? eg. Off when the vehicle is off unless aux is switched on?

Perhaps though, it’s better to be able to turn off all aux items, uhf, lights, chargers etc with one switch but leave the fridge unaffected?

Thoughts?

I have run a supply from the spare fused 60amp circuit in the battery compartment to a small fused unit that supplies extra 12 v auxiliary sockets, usb c and a sockets plus an ARB plug socket for my fridge. I simply disconnect the fridge plug or just switch the the power switch off on the fridge when not required.
