Does anyone have a solution for charging the tow vehicle battery while being connected to the MH? This seems to be a problem for quite a number of people I have run into and figure that someone has the answer.

My approach is to keep the circuit of the MH separate from the tow vehicle. I used diodes when wiring the taillights to further follow this approach. The tail lights, etc, are isolated from the MH circuitry.
On our pickup, I have a light bar that sits in the trailer hitch and a harness that runs the length of the truck so there is no common connections, and i don't have to mess with the wiring at all. I made mine, but Blue Ox sells them (mine is cooler).
We stop every 5 or 6 hours to pee the puppies, and us, and run the Pilot for several minutes. This keeps the battery up, and lubes the transmission, per Honda's instruction. We have never had a dead battery and hopefully our little Pilot tranny is happy.
Call me parinoid I guess, but I like to keep things simple.
Lots of folks hook up the 12v, and that's cool for them ... just makes me nervous.

Run a hot lead from your MH hitch connection to the positive terminal on your toad battery.
