others have had the plug for towing short and cause your problem
look for loose or worn wires
some times the alt will have a short that they don't test for it will still charge fine but kill the bat after the motor is off
if you have a voltage tester disconnect the pos battery cable and connect the
tester accost from the cable to the terminal it should be showing voltage if you have a short
then un plug the field wire from the alt if the voltage stops then you have a bad alt
