Question:

I have a 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid that Im now towing with my C Class motorhome. What set up is recommended to maintain the 12V battery charge which is located in the back of the car as with previous years? I dont see a kit on your site for this specific install. Note: Ford requires the accessory be OFF when in tow mode.

To charge the battery on your 2023 Ford Escape Hybrid during flat towing you need the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit # RM-156-25.

This comes with the wiring, connectors, and circuit breaker needed to get 12V power from the connector at the front of your Escape to your vehicle battery. This is designed for vehicles that have the battery in the engine bay so you will need to pick up some additional wiring with part # 16-1-1 which is sold by the foot.

Attached is an installation video we did of this kit on a 2021 Ford Escape Hybrid with the battery in the back like what you have.
