How to Power Blue Ox Patriot Braking System with Vehicle that Requires Battery Disconnected

Question:

Hello... I want to use Blue Ox Patriot. This needs a 12V so I would need to keep my battery hooked up correct? I would like to also have tail lights for my 2009 JK Jeep Wrangler working as well, but all the kits say I need to disconnect my battery?? How to I power the Blue Ox then if my battery is disconnected? Just a little confused. Would there be a way to keep the battery hooked up for the Blue Ox Patriot, have tail lights, brake lights working and a way to have the RV charge the the tow vehicle battery?

There are several vehicles that require you to disconnect the vehicle battery when flat towing. The solution then to power a braking system like the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR is to use an outlet kit like the part # RM-9332.

This wire directly to the vehicle battery so that you can get power for the system directly while still allowing the vehicle battery to be disconnected.
