2002 Taos wiring

Our 2002 Coleman Taos had the original RV trailer connector cut off and a 4 way crimp connected to it.  The previous owner had cut 2 of the wires off and left them bare.  The Blue wire, I believe, is for the trailer brakes.... at least it is the same color as the ones coming to the brakes under the trailer.  There is another one, orange with a black stripe that I have no idea what it is for... maybe a 12 volt feed from the tow vehicle to the power converter?  I am going to be wiring my ranger with a brake controller and 7 pin RV connector and will need to wire these back up to use with a 7 pin trailer connector.  Is there a resource somewhere on the 'net to view a wiring diagram?  Also, if the orange/black is a 12 volt feed to the converter, will that charge a deep cycle battery when I install it?  I got the black and white wire to hook that up on the trailer, but not sure if I will need to run another 12v supply to charge it.  

The trailer has a 6 pin block connector at the trailer wireing, thought it'd be easy, just pull off the hack job off the trailer and go to the Fleetwood dealer and get one for the 6 pin block to a 7pin RV connector... they had no idea what I was talking about, and when I went to one of the new popups they had to show them, they are all hardwired right into a 7 pin now... Anybody know where to get one?

Ok, maybe I figured this out.  The 7 wire for the truck list the following....
White = ground
Yellow = Left turn
Black = 12v hot
Blue = Electric brakes
Purple = reverse
brown = tail
Green = right turn

Pop up has 6 wires, all but the brakes and the mystery wire are hooked up.  Blue goes to the brakes, and I don't have back up lights, so that leaves the mystery wire as 12v hot.

sound logical????

Nevermind!!!!!

I downloaded my owners manual from another site and it has the color codes in it.  The mystery wire is 12 volt hot.
