My last truck was a 2001 F350 DRW. The 12vdc feed from the truck to the 5th wheel was only hot with the key on.

So, when parked, turning off the key eliminated any drain issues.

IF your truck is not wired this way, a relay is a easy fix. I would advise against using a Isolator because of the voltage drop across it. A combiner/relay would be the correct product to use if your tow vehicle feed is hot all the time.
