I've searched these forums with every term I can think of, and I can't find anything about running lights.
You mean "marker lights?" sometimes called "parking lights?"
Usually all we do, is light the Stop/Turn/Tail aspect of the towed vehicle. You sound like you want to light the side markers too, like a trailer might have. Is that what you mean?
If you really want to do that, there should be a way to tap into the towed vehicle's wiring and power up that circuit through a diode. The diode would allow the coach's power to light the towed, but not feed back into the coach if you turned the towed's lights on while still plugged in.
Easier solution: Just turn the towed's Parking Lights on. Shouldn't run a good battery down even on a long night time run.
