First thing I would check is the charge wire.
It looks fine. Fairly new. Maybe 2 seasons now. No damage. How would I test if it's operating properly?
Looks dont mean anything. You need to check it while the coach is running and make sure it's delivering power to the towed.
How? Please explain
I would hook everything up and use a volt meter to watch the voltage at the Jeeps battery.
When the Jeep is fully charged but not running, the voltage should be around 12.6VDC.
Now start the motorhome and look at the Jeeps battery voltage again.
It will be higher, in the range of high 13V to 14.X volts.
If you start the MH and the jeeps voltage doesn't change at all, there's something open in the charge circuit. Maybe a fuse has popped.
Good luck!
