Hello, I will be installing this on my 2013 Honda Accord. Unusual question... can I run the lights on the honda, via this connection, from my motorhomes trailer plug? The opposite of how this normally is used

Hey Bob, as cool as that would be trailer wiring does not work as tow bar wiring in reverse. You'd have to install a tow bar lighting kit like the Roadmaster part # RM-15267 which I attached a link to on this page that shows it installed on a similar Accord. Do you have the rest of your flat towing parts?
