Make alternator charge house battery better
Would this charge house battery better? Run a new heavy alternator wire to house battery first and use existing wire that goes from chassis battery to isolator to converter to house battery to charge ...

Not a good idea.
I would run the auxiliary battery not through an isolator but through a continuous duty relay operated by a hot in "run" position of the ignition switch.
Diode based isolators loose some power where a relay based isolation relay does not.
Run the relay off the chassis battery fused for around 30 amps prior to going to relay contact points.
