Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, it will drain the battery. Pressing the ignition button without first depressing the brake pedal will set the vehicles electrical system into accessory mode; same as in a keyed ignition vehicle turning the key forward but not to the point of engaging the starter motor. However, if needed, this is why we have the Roadmaster Battery Charge Line Kit for Towed Vehicles, # RM-156-25. This kit allows up to 15 amps from your RV's battery to be used to maintain the charge of your towed car's battery. Please note the attached video of this being installed on a 2016 Mini Countryman.
