Thanks for the feedback, everyone. After a few days of "turd shopping" trying to find a good older-model tow, I made an executive decision. I bought back my Honda CRV trade-in and will get a fuse switch to save the battery.
(Now, I need a garage stretcher ...) ;)
So I've scheduled my next trip, flat-towing again. Life is good. (And I don't have to change my rv.net signature)
Good plan.
I did not need a charge line on my 04 CRV w/o a navigation system. In checking the voltage it was apparent there was some drain. So when the opportunity arose I upgraded from my 4 wire cable to 6. Wire #5 was the charge line and wire #6 lights a cab light when the toad aux brake is applied.
The Grand Cherokee (purchased used and was set up for towing) has the identical wiring but the charge line is not used nor needed. And the aux brake is air so no battery drain.
