Expert Reply:
When flat towing your vehicle most owners manuals state the need to remove the negative cable from the vehicle's battery which would make your 12v plug-in non-operational.
Instead I recommend the Brake Buddy Select 3 Portable Supplemental Braking System - Proportional Item # HM39524 as it wires directly to your battery will come with the BrakeBuddy Towed Vehicle Battery Charge Kit Item # BB54FR to prevent your vehicle's battery from dying while towing.
