In my 2020 Canyon Star (f53 chassis), the 7-way connector had power wired to it, but the connection wasn’t made under the dash. I followed a post on here to connect the orange brake controller wire under the dash to the footwell fuse panel and done.

I’m thinking you may have the same wiring harness in the bay star.

Trying to find that post…

Ronaldo-

Assuming the 2020 is the same as earlier-model BayStars, this post will tell you all you need to know:

What and Where are extra wires from rear

This is the post that "Mighty J" sought.

The thread l1v3fr33ord1 linked to above is all the info you need. It was the same on my 2021 (V8) 24K# chassis so you should be good to go using that info.
The hardest part is wiggling your body into and then out of the space under the dash to fish out the wires.

I used the blue (intended for the brake controller) as many have for the brake monitor line from my toads brake pedal.

Just find someone agile and small to get down there in front of the front seat to make the connections.

If you find a charge wire a real challenge, you can use a portable battery jumper for a substitute. I used my toad's plug in for a bit and luckily have a big AGM battery for a diesel but yeah, it can drain it on a long haul. It's always something right.
