C Max Question

I recently purchased a 2013 Ford C Max to flat tow behind my Thor Ace. I was trying to determine whether the mileage will go on to the vehicle when it is flat towed (which I'm guessing it will) or maybe if the vehicle is not running it won't add miles to the odometer when it is being towed.
  • We are towing our C Max four down. With the ignition turned to the factory required "ACC" position, no mileage accumulates. It tows like a dream, don't even know it is back there.

    The one problem we incurred was that the 12V battery ran down after 4+ hours of towing. After having it checked out it was discovered the 12V connection from RV to C Max had not been connected to the battery circuit. We have a Blue Ox Patriot brake box that requires 12V for operation. I will not know whether or not the battery stays charged until our next long tow (4+ hours) in a few months.
