The battery will charge off of the alternator thru the plug from the TV, however it is more of a trickle charge than anything. The only way to get a quicker charge is to transfer the battery to the TV in place of the regular battery. Even then it would take an hour or more of driving at normal speed to reach a full charge.
From the trailer plug expect it to take a couple of hours at high idle (1000 rpm) before you see a difference.
