It is a plug that is actually a bit lower then the drivers rear tail light. like almost floor level....accessed from inside. what year coach?? almost a T like deal if I remember right, and had to take that plywood apart a little to really gain good access to it. T's off the harness in that corner and the wires for trailer lighting should exit the body in that corner.

if it is truly not there, it is just a matter of tapping into the correct wires at that rear corner. (3 wires. Left turn, right turn, and a tail light). Brake lights are the same wire as the turn signal wires- just go brighter when you hit the brakes. 4th wire(white), is just a ground, you want to make sure that is tied well to chassis. you can buy kits off amazon, or most stores that supply trailer wiring. -

always buy a good wiring kit. There are some from like harbor fright, that have think jacket wires and thin copper inside.
