For lighting you can use the diode kit, # RM-15267, and not have to worry about cutting into the taillight housing. This will splice into your taillight wiring to allow your tow vehicle to control the taillight assemblies of the towed vehicle. This comes with a round 6-way connector that you will install on the front of your towed vehicle and enough coiled wire to go from there to the RV and a 7-way to connect to your RV's 7-way.

To prevent the brake light overriding the blinkers you'll the Roadmaster Brake Lite Relay Kit part # RM-88400.

An easy way to charge the battery of your Pilot when flat towing would be to run a length of 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 from the 6-way of the # RM-15267 to the postive post of your Honda battery and you'd be set.
