We pull our C-Max Energi on a dolly.

When pulling 4-down, check the owner's manual Here (pdf), page 192:

Vehicles with Push Button Start
1. Start the vehicle by pressing the brake
pedal, and then pressing the ENGINE
START/STOP button until the vehicle
starts.
2. Press the brake pedal and shift the
transmission into position N.
3. Turn the vehicle off by pressing the
ENGINE START/STOP button once.
(Trip Summary appears in the left
instrument cluster screen when the
vehicle is off.)
Note: You can remove the key fob from the
vehicle while towing.
As for charging on 120V plugging into the side of the RV: I've only done that once and it was with my Focus Electric--I was using it to exercise the generator. The 120V charge cable (called an EVSE) will only draw up to 12 amps. You probably can use that plug for short periods of time but I wouldn't use it on a regular basis.

I picked up a Clipper Creek LCS-20p with an L6-30 plug and made an adapter for the 50a plug at campgrounds. (Looks like now they have a version that will plug directly into the campground 50a plug.)

The LCS-25p will charge the car about twice as fast as the 120V EVSE.
