Is Battery Charge Line Kit Needed with Roadmaster Diode Kit Lighting Kit # RM-15267

Question

Question:

If I already have the Roadmaster 152-67 kit, do I still need a battery charge line kit 156-25 as well? Not sure if the 152-67 kit has the necessary parts/accessories to charge battery as well.

The tow bar lighting kit part # RM-15267 that you have now does not have the charge line but does mean the # RM-156-25 would install easily since you'd just need to run the wire to the 6-way on your vehicle and then to the vehicle battery.
