This circuit probably will be hot whenever the engine is running, but it may be controlled by a switch on the dash. Always run a ground wire from the frame of the vehicle not from the hitch or bumper to the trailer. You may need to add another circuit to handle them. Your trailer-rental place, and most auto parts stores, sell simple electronic adapters that will combine the brake-lamp and turn-signal functions. The challenge is that we want to cycle through all the colors without being stuck in a loop and unable to read light values until the loop is done. Not surprisingly, the standard flat-style connector for trailers uses four pins, with one unshrouded male pin on the vehicle end for the ground.
