We use our 2020 Entegra Esteem 27U to tow our 2014 Ford Explorer. We flat tow it with a single limitation that the car must be run 15 minutes after 6 hours of towing. It appears the primary reason is to charge the battery. I have a Roadmaster Blackhawk 2 All-Terrain tow bar with a Roadmaster Diode 7 wire to 6 wire Flexo Wiring Kit.

My question is: I'm pretty sure there is an open pin from the MH. Can I add a wire to charge the car battery while towing it? Would that be a direct wire to the car battery from the MH pin or would I need some sort of terminal block in between?
 
It is best to install a breaker of some type, many people use a self resetting breaker, also some people add in a power diode ($2-$3) to lower the charge rate and act as a back flow safety prevention device.
