My question is that if we stop just for the night with no plans to use the car would I need to start it and let it run awhile anyway?
Thanks,

No, there is no limit to how far you can flat tow the car so there would be no reason to start the car after an overnight stop. I assume you have the 2.0 liter Focus? Cuz you can't flat tow the 1.0 liter with "EcoBoost".
Always follow the owner's manual instructions unless you have written documentation otherwise from For's engineering department.
