1992 WB40 Spare wire from front to back?

[Leroy Eckert]

When I decided to pull a trailer with electric brakes, I noticed that
connections for that function were capped off at the connector. I contacted BB
and was told that an extra wire was not pulled for that purpose. They suggested
that I install a relay to apply the brakes. That did not make sense to me as
the controller relies on inertia to apply power to the trailer. The faster the
bus slows, the more power is applied to the trailer brake system. I ran a 10
guage multi strand wire from the front to the rear under the bus primarily
following existing tubing and wiring. A broken fishing rod makes quick work
through the tough spots. The controller power was obtained from the the lower
load center to be activated when the ignition is turned on. I used a blade fuse
for the system utilizing an open outlet factory installed for accessory
additions. I tied the ground to the primary ground in the lower load center. It
works fine. The job took about 3 hours.

Is there a spare wire that runs from the front to the back of a 1992
WB40 that I can use for my brake controller?

I have a US Gear D-Celerator brake system that needs one wire to tell
the system in the toad to apply the brake, and another to keep the
battery charged. I am not worried about the one for charging as I can
grab that right off the back of the coach, but did not want to have to
run a wire all the way from the front to the back if a spare already
exists for that.
