Need suggestion for trailer wiring
I've tried running a search and have looked back about 8 months but can't find a thread addressing this. How would you suggest charging a TC house battery with the 7 pin connected to a cargo trailer ?

I’m not sure I get what you mean either. If you’re using your 7-pin for a trailer and you aren’t plugging the camper in because of that, you can just put a 7-pin in the truck bed for the camper. I thought everyone did that.
And as for charging the batteries, running a separate 2-gauge or larger + and - from the truck batteries to the camper will get real charging current to the camper, the stock tiny wiring will “trickle charge” at best. Use a separate heavy duty plug to disconnect, Anderson plugs work great.
The alternator makes plenty of power, it’s never that. It’s all about the wiring being adequately sized to get it where it’s going.
