Spare wires.  Likely run all the way to the front of the coach.

If you have the owner's manual for the coach, there will be a wire list in it to help with any future tracing as well

Reverse light wire is there. Use one of the "extra" heavy wires for charge wire, the other for brake control.
As Michelle said, they are in the front, rolled up lower left under dash cover.
There are also a few wires that go from that area to above driver, not to be confused.
You will have to make your charge wire and brake connections yourself.
BTW, if you don't have a combiner at rear, you will need to install one for combined light on trailer.
