Palazzo 33.3 overhead bunk controller location?

Does anyone know where the Schwintek controller for the front drop down bunk is located? I found the other 2 for the slideouts, but cannot seem to find this one!

The actual controller is in the top left cabinet over the drivers seat.

Sorry, for the confusion. I'm not looking for the bunk bed slide switch to raise and lower the bunk, but the Schwintek controller to disengage the motors.

Thanks for the replies, but it's not at any of those locations. Anyone else ever tried to find out where the controller/motor is located?

Nope, not there either. I just noticed that you have the same coach. Did you ever find where yours is located?

There must be SOMEONE on this planet that knows where the controller is in this unit. I emailed Thor directly and even they didn't know! Reply I got was to try a location that I've already tried.

Anyone...

Ok, problem solved, if anyone cares. Just talked to a local Thor dealer and he knew precisely where it is located. Actually, according to him, there are 2 of them, one on each side. They're located on either side of the overhead bunk, behind the vinyl columns that hide the tracks.

Now that I know where they are, I just have to figure out how to get at them. The columns do have some flex in them, but I hate to pull too hard and have them separate from the wall when they're not meant to be taken off.

At least now everyone can sleep well tonight knowing that I found them.

I am confused. The front overhead bunk has two racks (tracks), one mounted on each side of the bunk. Each rack is covered by vinyl trim that can be taken off by removing two screws. This exposes the motors and pinion gears, one for each rack. There is a single controller for the bed and in my case it is in the left cabinet directly above the driver's head. It doesn't seem to make any sense that the bed design could incorporated two controllers.

Ferdinand, I don't have a problem with the controllers, other than the fact that I haven't been able to find them yet, (but I am on a mission). I was told that they are behind the vinyl columns, but wasn't sure that they came off. But they apparently do.

I will try to remove the vinyl trim from the wall and see if they are actually behind there, as the controller(s) is definitely not in the cabinet overhead. What Mike says makes sense, and I think what the technician meant is that the motors are there on either side. I couldn't understand either why there would be 2 controllers for the overhead bunk.

Mike, on your coach, are the 2 screws that you take off covered by vinyl that just pop off, revealing the screws?
