It looks like you have purchased wiring harness # 18252 which is correct for a 2004 Ford Focus. This vehicle does not require a converter because it has what is called a combined lighting system. This means the brake lights and turn signals are combined onto one circuit. This is the same way most trailers are wired.
You will use the included circuit tester to tech the wires behind the tail lights on the vehicle. Starting on the drivers side, where you will be attaching 3 of the wires,... view full answer...

The Blue Ox Patriot Portable Braking System # BLU37TR referenced in your question is designed to draw power from the battery in the towed vehicle by simply plugging in the included 12V cigarette outlet adapter inside the vehicle.
It's very unlikely that the 12V wire from the RV's 7-Way (which would instead be getting power from the RV's battery) would carry enough amperage to reliably power the Patriot by the time it reached towed vehicle. Because of this and the fact that the install... view full answer...

You will need to remove some trim panels in the rear cargo area of your 2012 Ford Focus in order to gain access to the tail light wiring. If you look at the instructions I have linked for the Curt wiring harness, # C56140, there are some helpful pictures.
The tail lights may need to be persuaded slightly because the seals around them can stick. If there are additional fasteners holding on the lights, they may be revealed when you remove the trim panels in the cargo area. view full answer...
You will need to find the vehicles wiring harness that goes to the taillights on your 2005 Ford Focus Wagon.

I am including a video link of connecting a 4-way trailer connector to a 2006 Ford Taurus. It will show you how to probe the wires and how to connect them.
On the Ford vehicles the wire colors are as follows,

We've got a solution for you. You'll want to use a Deka Quick Disconnect Battery Terminal, part # DW05312. On the terminal end that remains on the battery once disconnected, you'll attach the ground wire for the charger using a # DW05705-1 ring terminal. This leaves the charger grounded once the negative battery terminal is disconnected. I've provided a photo showing where to place the ring terminal. view full answer...

In order to remove the hub/drum on your trailer you will want to first remove the spindle nut. Once the spindle nut is removed you are going to want to take a hammer and tap the outer portion of the drum as well as the hub face a few times to break loose an rust/dirt. You should then be able to pull the drum off. Once the drum is off you can wipe down the spindle and then spray the braking assemblies with brake cleaner. You can then install the drum and spindle nut. The spindle nut will... view full answer...
I confirmed with SportRack that their square bar roof rack system # SR1002 is indeed a correct fit for your 2010 Ford Focus 4-door. I reviewed an installation video for a similar Yakima roof rack on a 2011 Focus 4-door and this video is linked for you. If you refer to the 52-second mark in the video you'll see how the clamp for that Yakima rack is positioned on the roof line, above the weather stripping. I also linked a close-up photo image from the video. Your SR1002 clamps will install... view full answer...
Disconnecting the negative battery cable in your 2016 Ford Focus, either manually or via a switch, will still allow the battery to provide power to a braking system like the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO # SM99251 referenced in your question. This is because disconnecting the negative cable will disconnect the battery from the vehicle, but will not prevent it from providing power to other components.
If you are interested in installing a battery disconnect switch in your Ford Focus, you can use... view full answer...
SportRack roof rack # SR1010 is a fit for the 2012 Ford Focus sedan but not the hatchback. If you have a hatchback then you would need a different roof rack.

If your trailer has electric brakes and a 6-or7-way trailer connector, you'll need to install a brake controller on your vehicle to actuate the trailer brakes. Before attempting to tow your trailer, I'd recommend you determine the fully loaded weight of your trailer, and ensure it doesn't exceed the towing capacity of your Focus.
If your trailer weighs less than the towing capacity of the vehicle, you'd begin by choosing a brake controller. The Tekonsha Primus, part # TK90160 is a reasonably-priced... view full answer...
The heat shield will need to be trimmed so that you can bolt up the side brackets of the hitch to the bottom of your vehicle frame. If the heat shield was not removed it would not provide a solid surface for the hitch to attach to.
