The Curt trailer wiring harness # C56165 comes with 20 feet of 12 gauge wire. This might be enough to run the power wire through the interior of your 2009 Toyota RAV4 depending on where it is routed. Otherwise you would need additional wire like you said such as # 12-1-1 sold by the foot. If you get wire locally make sure it is 12 gauge.

I have also included a link below to a help article I wrote with tips on routing the power wire for you.
