Simple - right? Then last night when I was reading a bit more of the owners manual I found the following notice about the 12 V Power Point where I had intended to power the brake controller.
Note: After starting your vehicle, you can use the socket to power 12-volt appliances with a maximum current rating of 20 amps. After you switch your vehicle off, the power supply works only for a maximum of 30 minutes.
Looks like it isn't quite as simple as I thought.

On our 2015 Focus the shop that installed our tow bar and light harness wired a cigarette lighter type plug and another small plug for the break away and they run off of the motor home power. I have to disconnect the toads battery after putting the transmission in neutral.
