For Class C RVs built on the Ford E-450 van chassis they usually will only have the port to plug in a brake controller if the vehicle came with a factory 4- or 7-Way trailer connector. It should be located behind the center console on the passenger side of the vehicle and you would use harness # 3034-P.

On the 2012 Ford F-53 (and F-59) chassis, which are also used for motor homes, the brake controller port is located right by the emergency brake release lever. It is a gray, square connector. If it is not easily visible then you may have to fish it out from above that general area or to the left of it.
