Expert Reply:
If you reached your destination and your Chevy Equinox started up fine but then would not after sitting overnight then you have something draining the battery that needs to be shut off when you're done towing. The charge line only transfers a charge over to the towed vehicle battery while connected to the motorhome. If you left the Brake Buddy Classic 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System # HM39494 plugged in the entire night it could've drained the battery even though you weren't towing.
