Your TV will charge the battery no matter how well its own battery is charged. You can think of it as the camper battery "taking" the current it needs and not so much that the TV is just putting it out.
Check the voltage at the camper battery while it's running. It should be very close to the TV voltage. If it's a bit low, maybe 1V less, then you should see the voltage steadily rise. If not then you aren't charging. Ford has a fuse for the output so if it's not working then that would be the first thing to check.
