More inconsistencies... lol...
Got me thinking to - so grabbed the voltmeter and checked this morning.
RV is parked - key out - on shore power - and there is a hot 12v in the trailer harness...

I've seen it described as '12v' or 'battery charge'... depends what you use it for - but is a hot 12v all the time on mine.

Mine was properly wired as a full 7 pin - didn't have to change anything when hooking up the toad. In my case, the '12v' feed powers the Invisibrake which also handles charging the toad battery.
(Invisibrake says it can be hooked up to the tail light terminal - that requires a minimum of parking lights to be on to energize.. On the 'always on' feed it powers up as soon as I plug in the toad - and yes - I leave it plugged in on mid-trip overnight stops - doesn't draw enough at idle to hurt anything.)
