Just basically have a possitive and a negative cable connected from the battery to a plug on the towbar. then in the trailer have a possitive and a negative connected to that battery and a plug from the trailer to connect with the towbar plug. if that makes sense, then it will charge when connected but maybe only connect when engine is running.

Most likely the brown wire from the trailer connector is connected to a constant battery voltage source, and it should be connected to the vehicle running light circuit, however someone might have wired the trailer connector up that way on purpose so that the trailer does not draw power from the vehicle running lights and possibly damage the vehicle running light circuit. (Dodge/Chrysler vehicles do have delicate lighting systems) Here are some images to help assist you, and the 4 way connector is the same as the 5 way connector just without the blue wire for the trailer brakes.

Why isn't my trailer connector charging the RV battery? I placed a fuse in slot 106, but it still doesn't appear to be working at the factory installed pigtail.

Might want to bench test the trailer tow battery charge relay.

You can also jumper this with a wire in the relay socket, to test the wiring to the trailer tow adapter. This is relay R05

1973 ford f250 trailer special. new alt. wont

That would be my first guess,they are not very exspensive,if this still does not help,run a large wire on the back of the alternator with the old one still connected,to the positive battery post.This will increase the voltage to the battery also.Put it on the large batt,connector on the alternator,and run it to the battery post+

Need to tow 1999 F250 about 150 miles home. What

If you have a stick shift, you rent a 2 wheel tow dolly and run the front tires onto it and strap it down. Put the truck in neutral and away you go.
If you have an Automatic you want all 4 wheels on a flatbed or tow trailer. You rent a car hauler trailer and piggyback the truck onto the trailer. A good rental will know the weight and rent you the right trailer.
