.....I guess it depends if your toad has separate turn signals or not. The CRV does and my goal was to make the back end look and operate the same way as if I was driving it. I didn't want to run an additional wire under the RV and I wanted a charge line too. That put me at the 6 pin connector instead of the 4 pin connector. The bonus was the 6th line, which I used for the brake signal. There was a fair amount of cutting and splicing but in the end I think it was worth the effort.

My approach would work the same, regardless whether the toad has separate turn signals or not. How you wire the tail lights of the toad is not really related to how this part of the wiring for the brake light LED indicator is done.

I ran a charge line as well (have to have it, for the Fusion hybrid). Again, that is separate from the wiring I described above, to make the LED indicator work. I had to use a 6 pin cord, connector as well. I only used one wire from the trailer light unit's 4 flat connector, and ran that wire back up to the front of the toad, connected it to one of the lines in the 6 round connector (did not use the other 3 wires on the flat 4 connector). Sorry, probably should have made that more clear.

I just re-read your post, and realized that you utilized an existing wire in your MH for the brake controller to connect up the LED to show you when brakes are engaged. Avoiding having to run a separate wire under the MH (good idea!) You could just as easily have done that approach with the method I described. Only difference would be in how you did the wiring on the toad itself.
