Youtube isn't working well for me right now but you are saying that your inverter is wired to one rv battery and then pulling from two 12 volt truck starting batteries through the 7 way wire?

The other way around - as I recall the OP has 2 G24 trailer batteries and a third G24 sitting in the engine compartment of his truck ... truck starting battery isn't involved in this. That G24 under the hood he has wired through a 7-pin Bargman - a poor solution when using heavy gauge booster cables would result in far less voltage drop.

Right but with the chevy I get 14.5v at the bargman. Voltage drop not an issue. But I could probably get better amps with larger wire...
I too can maintain voltage above the inverter's low voltage threshold if I plug the trailer's Bargman into the truck but that doesn't provide much current load support for the trailer battery because the Bargman wire is way too light gauge and way too long.
