Firstly, I want to thank everyone for all their help. I found the fuse and yes it was in the front compartment right under driver's window. This storage compartment has two fuse blocks located diagonally, upper left and lower right, with a bunch of relays sitting in the middle between them. The compartment floor also had a chart/legend for the fuse blocks. I don't know if this chart came with the coach or whether the previous owner put it there, but it was quite helpful.

The upper left fuse block actually had a 15 amp mini fuse that was allocated to the porch lamp. Much to my chagrin, this 15 amp mini fuse was intact. After searching through the chart I decided to check a row of fuses used for auxillary feeds. Hallelujah, I found a blown fuse on the third auxillary feed fuse. This necessitated an hour-long trip to my local auto parts store to get several packs of mini fuses of various ratings. I replaced the fuse and it blew instantly. I went back into the coach and disconnected a pair of loose wires I had connected last week. I replaced the fuse and viola the porch light worked.

Lesson learned. Don't try to reconnect loose wires just because you think they belong together. Thanks again, everybody.
