My 7way only has 6 wires to it and none of them has power that would work to send power to the battery in my toad.

In the end I just decided to run a separate 12 GA 2 wire cord from the battery to the rear of the MH with a female receptacle on the end and ran an identical cord from the toad to the front bumper with a matched male plug. It is a larger wire than battery maintainers have and all I'm doing is battery maintaining anyway, right? When I hook up the lights it only takes a few seconds and I'm on my way after putting the Brake Buddy in place and setting and testing it. NO PROBLEM!
