Where is the Truma control box Bailey Pegasus

I recently posted the problem I have with one roller not coming off the tyre. I went to move it manually with the tool truma supplied but looks like a previous owner has broken the 7 mm head off the bolt.  The opposite mover works fine but wonder if it’s gone out of sync. But I cannot find the control box and wonder if someone has had the same problem or knows where it’s hidden. It’s not under the cooker as you can clearly see, there’s not enough room where the fridge is, not underneath the bed storage so that just leaves the room heater. With Truma closed down they cannot help .

Hopefully  it may be if they have experienced the same problem they could let me know. 
Incidentally how many owners know that whilst you get a spare wheel there is NO JACK with the caravan or the Brackets suggested to use when jacking . They are all extras , nice one Bailey.

not that anyone is going touring for the foreseeable but to all of you readers ...be safe

    Not sure on your model, but I thought all control boxes are sited as close as can be to the incoming 240v 16a plug of the caravan, because of practicality.

    I assume you are talking about the mover control box. Both of ours were dealer fit, so I'm not sure that Truma would be of much help. Both of ours were fitted in very obvious places, in each case close to the battery box. In both vans this was under the fixed bed.

    There'll be a couple of fairly substantial wires to each mover that need to pass through the floor somewhere, can you not see where they go from underneath the caravan and then follow them back to the controller. As Steve suggests, the controllers on my caravan are virtually next to the battery box under a bed locker.

    Thanks for replies , I have found or should I say ...seen it.. it’s behind the drawers above the Traumatic heater. That is almost behind the battery box. That’s the good news and for anyone with the same model. However removing the drawers to get to it means removing the drawers. At the moment I can say they do not lift out like most cabinet drawers , but they must...somehow . I’ll have another go after my cuppa.

    By the way MollysMummy we too have a Molly dog a lovely old Parsons  Russell

    if anyone has  taken a drawer out from a Baileys caravan please let me know

    thanks again

    They are a pig as you have to release the plastic catches under the drawer, try on U tube info?

    I’m glad you found it but it won’t necessarily be in the same place on another van of the same model. It’s all down to the fitter who installs the mover.

    I'd put a picture up of our Molly but gave up trying to post picture here years back ... our Molly is a pedigree Heinz Mutt!

    The drawers on our Coachman have a screw on each side towards the back of the drawer that screws into the runners on each side ... might be the same as your Bailey 🤔

    Molly the Mutt .... the crown wasn't my idea 😏

    Well to all of you thank you for replying. Googled and found how they came off the runners. When I exposed the control box it was only fitted on one side , so poor ,  typical of how someone thinks no one would see it. Just typifies how poorly these vans are put together .. Anyway tomorrow I going to have a go at re setting  the mover to see if I can get the rollers in sync .

    thanx again

    The mover would have been fitted by the dealer so dont blame Bailey!
