Well if it's correct on truck and trailer it would work right..... so it's got to be screwed up on one end or the other.

I would be surprised if a heavy duty flasher or better ground would take care of your problems. heavy duty flashers take care of fast flashing with non-spec loads, and a bad ground would result in flickering lights. both lights flashing would probably be a yellow/brown cross somewhere, but if that only happens with your lights on then I have no idea. As for how the backup lights could even possibly think about getting involved????
Who wired your trailer harness, and how?
