Here is my setup with my 06 Dmax. Includes 2 gauge wire for both hot and ground.
If you're using the stock charge wiring, the wires are most likely too small to ever get a full charge (too much voltage drop). You could measure the voltage at the camper batteries to be sure -- should be over 14v minimum.
x2 - you've probably got a long piece of thin wire going from the truck battery possibly all the way to the back of the truck, then through a connector to the camper and another thin wire that runs all the way to the front of the camper where the battery compartment is. = a plenty of voltage drop - not enough voltage to fully charge the battery. So first job I suggest is to upgrade to heavy-gauge wire to minimize that voltage drop.
