Brakes.. Many folks use Brake Buddy or one of the competitors which draw power from the towed and in all cases the brake lights may still draw power from the towed if you have aux brakes,,, and you should have aux brakes.
And of course parasitic loads that are always there
NOW: a New battery in good condition, LIkely no problem but as the battery nears end of life... problems.
2005 Damon Intruder 377 Alas declared a total loss
after a semi "nicked" it. Still have the radios

CW installed charge wire on our Saturn. It killed the braake lights and some other things.
Saturn straightened out for a couple hundred dollars but couldn't make the charge wire work.
Pull the fuse. If not make sure to turn of head lights and recirculate the the air conditioner. Tail light still work. Stop every couple hundred miles during day and start etc to be sure. At night the tail lights and brake lights can drag the battery down quickly.
WE got caught with dead battery in mid Arkansas and mad the mistake of shifting it into park still attached to the coach. The Roadside Assistance came all the way from Rogers Arkansas to jump us off. The battery was in the trunk.
We have our other vehicles sorted out and how to set it up so the battery doesn't go dead or even used when being towed...usually. So we carry a combination starting battery and compressor, wouldn't work for Mh and a long set of jumping cables, that will reach from the MH batteries to anywhere around the coach end to end.

The instructions for towing 4-down are in the owners manual.
There is a specific fuse to be pulled for towing and then replaced to drive.
Also, there is an after market fix that is a switch that replaces the fuse so all you do is flip the switch to tow or drive.
Have a look at:
