I added a 6 gauge wire from the alternator to the TT battery. I did install a circuit breaker on each end to avoid problems. My voltage meter in the TT definitely shows and improvement over the charge line on the 7 pin TT plug.
Try this test. Run your TT battery down to about 75% SOC (12.4V with no load). Start your tow vehicle and immediately check the battery voltage using a meter. As quickly as possible, check the voltage at TT battery. Drive for about 10-20 minutes and repeat the two measurement with the engine running. Check also at high idle.
You will be surprised how low the voltage at the TT battery is !
