To install a battery disconnect, like the Deka Lead Quick-Disconnect Battery Terminal - Universal Polarity # DW05312. it is pretty straight forward, you are just putting a break or disconnect along the negative battery cable in the vehicle.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11431 is only rated for 2,000 lbs of towing capacity so it will not allow you to pull a 4,000 lb camper.

I checked the owner's manual for your 2002 Ford Focus with a front wheel drive, and found that it is not recommended for flat-towing. Per the manual they recommend using a tow dolly so that the drive wheels are not on the ground when towing.
We do offer a tow dolly that may work for you. It is the RoadMaster Tow Dolly, part # RM-2050-1. This dolly has an adjustable axle and ramps so it will fit most vehicles. This dolly does have electric brakes so a brake controller will be needed.

Using the Roadmaster Tow Dolly, part # RM-2050-1 for your 2014 Focus will work great. The dolly has electric brakes and has tail lights so the stress will not be on your car when towing.

1-7/8 Inch Trailer Ball, part # 19256
2 Inch Trailer Ball, part # 19258

To ensure your RoadMaster Sterling Tow Bar # RM-576 stays clean when the tow bar is in the storage position, I recommend the RoadMaster Tow Bar Cover # RM-055-3.
When you detach the tow bar simply wind all the cables loosely around the tow bar and set it in the storage position. The tow bar cover slides over the entire unit and clasps closed. view full answer...
