I just had the tow bars etc put into my 2009 Smart Car. I told them I wanted a battery shut off so I do not kill the battery while towing. I went to pick it up and it hooks up to the lighter in the car and when the battery shut off is on, the brake does not come on. DAH!!!! So now they want to put in a new extra lighter recepticle that will go directly to the battery. HOW IS THAT GOING TO HELP NOT KILL THE BATTERY?? I have a Blue Ox Brake Buddy type thing, not the Patriot but older one. I am so frustrated I could cry. THEY also forgot to give me the pins that go into the grill to hook up to the hitch but that is fixable. WORRIED I am going to burn up the battery every time I tow it. ANY suggestions. Be aware this is a 2009 not a 2016 but should work similarly.
My suggestion would be to go somewhere else where they know what they are doing! As you understand, the power should be to the second outlet from the motor home! Easily done.
