Our coach and yours are miles apart in design, but ours is in the bay that has the black and gray tanks, along with the Aladdin controller panel. Here is a picture. Ours is on the wall, near the ceiling.

For what it's worth mine is the same as Stan's in the passenger side bay attached to the cover that goes over the access to the black and grey tanks.  Most of the Aladdin modules are on the same cover.

Our solar controller is in the wet bay. It is mounted on the ceiling. You access it thru a removable panel between the cargo area into the wet bay.

Mine was on the back of the passenger side holding tank cover. I needed to remove the carpeted plywood cover and the alladin electronics and the solar controller were screwed to the back side. You wouldn't know it was there unless you removed the panel.

     Hi Scott,
  I have been looking for mine for 2 1/2 years on my Marquis and never did find it. All I know is that it is working properly. My issue was that I wanted to add 2 more 125 watt solar panels but was unsure of the capacity of the controller. My conclusion is to add another controller with the new panels to regulate their charge rate.
