If you have to have the key on to unlock the steering wheel, try installing a battery cut off switch under the hood. You cannot completely remove battery power completely or you will loose the radio station memory and the brake lights. You can install a battery isolator on the RV so you can charge the battery on the odessy while you're towing it using a wire on the hitch connector.

SOURCE: I have a 2007 honda

This is a problem as I also tow a dinghy. The only way that I know is to install a battery disconnect switch. you can get one at WalMart for about $5. The concern is that you will not have the ability to use any of the dinghy's power. In other words, anything that needs to be operated will need to have power supplied from your MH. This includes braking and lighting systems. Also, every time you hitch or unhitch, you will need to re-engage the battery switch. One last note is that every time you disconnect the battery, all your stored information such as radio presets and computer info will be lost.

Good luck and I hope this helps :)

I have a 2016 Focus sedan with the platinum package. I want to flat tow with my RV. Is it critical to disconnect the battery? Does this protect the battery or is it necessary to protect other items?

As long as you disconnect the battery.. you will be fine.. but make sure you have brake lights.. check your state laws concerning towing behind an RV.. some require the brake lights on the towed vehicle to work (or have optional brake lights)..remember..its YOUR car and YOUR RV... SAFETY FIRST!

Towing car behind rv motorhome

Should be okay if you use a tow dolly. This means you drive the front wheels up on the tow dolly and strap the tires down. The rear wheels are like trailer tires and should roll as if they do when driven.

Can i tow with a tow bar behind an rv

you should have no problem, that is not a heavy car, but you should check the specs on the RV to be sure-most RV.s have no problem towing vehicles up to 3500 lbs, and a GTI is about 2800 tops
