That was a total inept installation and amount of time. My Canyon has the factory trailer plug setup in the rear bumper (combo 7-way & 4-way).

Are you thinking of just connecting the trailer plug on the motorhome directly to the trailer plug on the Colorado?

I'm not 100% sure but I think you would fry something expensive if you just tried backfeeding through the trailer plug. If it were that easy everyone would do it.
