The Tekonsha Break Away System Battery Charger you mentioned, part # 1024 is easy to install.

The blue wire connects to the break away switch wire that connects to the battery (not the other leg that attaches to the brake circuit on the trailer), and the black wire connects to the 12-volt accessory circuit from the 7-way trailer connector.

I produced a diagram for you, which should make it more clear for you. For more information regarding trailer break away systems, click on the provided link.
