Roadmaster recommends using a 12-volt outlet kit like # RM-9332 wired directly to the vehicle's battery. You can then use the 12-volt accessory circuit from the 7-way on the motorhome to provide a trickle charge to the dinghy's battery.

According to Roadmaster and the owner's manual, there really is no need to disconnect the battery as long as you're getting a trickle charge from the motorhome's 7-way.
