I would not use a diode due the 0.6V drop in addition to the wiring loss. Newer cars often require a reasonable charge line due to equipment that remains on like computers and navigation. Check the towed battery voltage when setup for towing and see if it will at least maintain the battery vs the battery draining. It's a long run from the Jeep battery to the towed battery and the wiring may/not be adequate.
Listen to Doug - I wondered about your 07 Jeep charge circuit but have no experience with that car. But it doesn't surprise me that the charge circuit should be off when the engine is off.
