Expert Reply:

Yes, you can use the Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Wire Kit # DM66VR on your 2014 Honda CR-V. This will protect your battery from becoming damaged as it will connect to the charging circuit on your motorhome. It has a 10 amp fuse and diode that ensures it won't back feed into the motorhome as well. And it will not overcharge the battery as the charging system on your motorhome will only allow the same voltage that your battery gets from your alternator on your CR-V.

Since your Demco Air Force One Supplemental Braking System # DM26VR ties into the air line on your motorhome to control the braking on your CR-V it does use very little power. The only power it uses is for the braking indicator and the emergency brake away if it is activated.
