If you don't really need alternator charging via 7-pin, which is low amps and so not much use, you can avoid the whole question.
With solar on the roof of the trailer, it can do a better job than the 7-pin
Just "turn off" the 12v on pin #4 of the 7-pin (yank its fuse is one way). The signal lights etc still work from the rest of the pins.
If you do want alternator charging, then as you note, it gets complicated! :(
