Your truck will trickle charge your RV's battery and keep it topped up, but the wiring is not designed to "charge" the battery and you'd need to leave your truck running for hours to see any benefit.
I leave my water pump on when we are in the trailer, unless there is a leak or a stubborn air pocket the pump will not run unless it needs to. I do turn it off when we head off the site just in case.

If your battery needs a charge while you're out camping, just hook up your booster cables and use that. You'll still need to let it run awhile though but it should be a little quicker than the trickle charge. Like Madman says, a trickle charge takes a loooong time.
