If you are planning to stay with a single battery SIX GAUGE wire connected to the alternator terminal then to a SIXTY AMP rated fuse is fine. I prefer the totally automatic battery combiner products that allow full current to flow to the house battery. Like Blue Seas or Sure Power. They are much easier to connect than a solenoid.
I sheath wire that passes under the rig inside old garden hose and I keep it away from exhaust pipes. NAPA stores usually have wire and terminals. Where you are ALL BATTERY SALES on the internet can get stuff UPS to you in a day or so. Don't forget the 60 amp breakrr or fuse.

After looking in the manual I noticed it showed a relay and a fuse for 'trailer charge'. The actual slots were blank so I added the FUSE and RELAY from the envelope and that gave me TRAILER CHARGE voltages when the ignition key was turned on...
I think most of the other truck manf do the same thing...

Make, model and chassis of motorhome may help us help you.
My E-450 had a sixty amp fuse that blew quite regularly. The OEM isolation relay lasted only about 1 year. I replaced the fuse with an auto reset circuit breaker and the relay with one that had much higher amperage capacity.
My ride is a 28 foot Class C, 256 watts solar, 556 amp-hours of Telcom jars, 3000 watt Magnum hybrid inverter, Sola Basic Autoformer, Microair Easy Start.

If you have battery disconnects, look to see if there is another large relay in the same area. It would have two large posts and one or two small posts. One side of it would go to chassis battery and one side would go to the coach battery. Trace out the wire that is on the small post(s) One should get power when the rig is running the other should connect to ground.

Check your owner's manual for electrical operation.
Does it have a genset?
