Question:

Plan on using this harness on 2015 Ford Focus that needs battery negative disconnected. Can I use ground and positive wired from motorhome ? Thank you

Sounds like you are actually looking for tow bar wiring and not trailer wiring for your 2015 Ford Focus like the part # 118548 that you referenced.

For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV.

This setup would not require your vehicle's battery to be connected as the motorhome will actually be powering the lights.
