- Get a digital multimeter
- Drive truck minimum 10 miles to stabilize charging voltage
- With engine running check voltage:Is it above 13.8 volts?
- If yes your charging wire idea will work fine
- If not it would take hours of driving to replace even -40 amp hours
- There are FAR BETTER connectors than an Anderson Power Pole Connector for joining truck to trailer
- The Anderson Power Poles I Have Seen Can Separate::Choose a dual prong trailer plug and socket
- It is FAR FAR better to wire the charge lead DIRECTLY to the alternator
- Use 6AWG to a new 60 amp breaker
- You need 2nd breaker at trailer battery bank
- Hope this helps
