Towing my 2019 Equinox four wheels down

[HHAMMERMAN]

I have a large motorhome and I tow my 2019 Equinox four wheels down. It is connected to the MH via a Blue Ox Hitch. I go through the procedure in the manual to put it into neutral. I put the shift lever into neutral and turn off the engine without putting my foot on the brake. All good. Except that the battery runs down. Does anyone know which fuse controls the chime that goes off when I do this? Has anyone put that fuse on a switch? What switch?

I had a charge line installed. It uses the mh charging system.

I had a cutoff switch installed. I believe etrailer has them. Been using it trouble free for 9 years.

Battery cutoff switch? It still allows the steering wheel to turn without having the battery on? Will I still be able to use my braking system if the battery is off?

I have a 2019 Diesel and have the same issue. I ran a separate circuit from the chassis battery to a RVi Towed battery charger and still it drains the battery. This had been our biggest complaint with towing flat and our Equinox. I really wish someone had a solution.

Solution: put the 'Nox on a trailer; less wear and tear on your Equinox, and you can protect it better from road debris thrown back from your RV too ... either with a front shield on the trailer, or a custom-fit car cover.

Thanks for the suggestion but trailering is not a viable solution for us.

Do you have the 2.0 engine?
