Yes, I'll work on that. Perhaps connecting a separate wire from the hitch to the car. I could disconnect the hitch and find a good place to attach a separate wire by seeing when the lights come on. ...

Come to think of it, the blower on the furnace would be running off the battery also. I'll have to be aware of that.

Have you given any thought to a V6 Equinox? It looks like it has enough capacity to pull the camper you describe yet is smaller and less expensive than other SUVs. Gets pretty good ratings. ...
