A friend of mine has a 2008 Sea Breeze, Ford running gear. He bought a tote that was already wired with a 4-prong wiring harness. We used an adapter to adapt down from a 7-pin to a 4-pin. The trouble we are having is all the lights seem to work great, except the stop lights. Even on the 7-pin plug we cannot find the stop lights. The turn signals work fine on the tote. I thought that the stop light and turn signals were on the same prong. Can anyone tell me where I can find the stop light wire or tell me what I'm missing.

The brake and turn signals use the same wire. You may have a problem with your coach. If it has amber turn signals there is normall a module installed to combine the turn signals and brake lights into a four wire configuration. If this unit is not there or is malfuntioning the lights won't work correctly. Here is website that shows wiring for that configuration:

This site shows normal configurations and shows seven way with separate turn and brake lights:
