I would think you would tie in to the secondary battery. Isolators that I have seen are anywhere from 80-140 amp rated so they should allow a fairly high throughput but with the length of the run its hard to say how effective it will be.
Most vehicle 7 pin connectors charging pin is fused at between 30 and 60 amps, but the power flow because of the wire limitations or loss dont allow anywhere near that much power.
You didnt say how long you were at a given location running the battery down before moving and trying to charge, If it is several days I would think even a modest solar setup may do you as much good as this. And remember the solar panel on the roof will also be charging while you are moving as well as while stationary.
