To avoid voltage drop be sure and use #10 gauge wire on both the +12 volt line and the "ground" wire.
I was not aware that the +12volt line from the MH was switched however. So I guess if your braking device on the toad is still drawing power and you stop overnight without using your Toad there would be a draw down on your toad battery. If indeed the MH 12volt pin is switched off when the engine is not running I would rewire it so that it is always live. Cheaper and more convient than having to plug up a battery charger.

You can unplug the brake buddy overnight if that worries you.
