Adding backup lights

[Rvrlee]

I am looking for backup lights wire colors for 2017 Forest River Berkshire 34QS.

Moved thread from the General Tech and Repair section to the Berkshire sub-forum for better help from other Berkshire owners and possible factory support.
Also because the OP's questions are specific to a Berkshire chassis and not general tech questions.

Are you wanting to know on the actual light or the trailer 7 way plug?
On the light it is a green wire that is connected to an orange wire in the harness. Now if it is the 7 way pig tail then it is the center pin and the wire color is purple

I'll look for purple wire. I am just looking for the best location to connect backup light kit.

Easiest option would be to tap into the trailer plug and use the source power that way.

Checked for purple wire none in the harness at trailer plug.
Checked the connection of all of the wires none connected to the center connection.
None were connected. Checked wires connecting to harness Red, White, Green, Yellow Blue and Brown. I do not believe there is a backup light wire available.
Thanks for your help. Any more suggestions? My next step is to remove the tail light assembly and see what I find connecting to the backup light.

Look for a dark blue wire going into the 7 way trailer plug. that wire is for the reverse lights

Sorry, I did not get back sooner. Yes, the blue wire was the one to the backlights. I had to have the coach started and running and in reverse for the lights to come on.
