Keeping toad battery charged

Hello All,
Getting things set up to hit the road. I have the 'Patriot' aux brake system set up in a Subaru Forester. I would like to disable the steering lock thus no key and minimize battery draw. Not as easy as it appears. So, I figure why not charge the toad battery as we go. There's kits out there and from what I see they do not use the existing + - off the seven blade motorhome socket. This seems a bit nuts to have to run yet two more wires to accomplish charging of the toad.

The kid next door offered to disable the steering lock....No thanks..

Any info on this would be great.

get going,
Is there some reason why you prefer not to use any of the un-used wires in the 7 pin connector at the rear of the coach? That's what about 97% of the RVers do. It's clean, it's simple and, the best part, it's already there. You just have to make sure that you use the correct one and, continue it on from behind the toads plug, up to the toads positive battery post, through a fuse. DONE!
