Expert Reply:

The Plug-In Adapter # 3035-P you referenced is indeed the correct harness to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 on your RV that's built on the 2018 Ford F-53 chassis.

This factory port on the F-53 is located on the left hand side of the steering column support near the emergency brake pedal. I have attached an image to assist.
