This my setup from 2018. There might be better but this is what I was able to get at the time. It works fine. As you practice setting it up it becomes easier. Like anything else, the more you do it....

A blue ox wiring kit for the car from etrailer is $115
or just drill holes in the taillight housing and install a socket with matching bulb for rear lights .
If I feel the need for extra side marker lighting on the toad, I just turn on its parking lights. Run a charge wire to the toad battery . Group those wires to your harness from toad to rv.
My labor was not that much. My total was $3000 in N.H.
a Mechanic and helper took about 3 hrs.
