Our new to us 2018 Thor Ace 30.3 2018. Bunk is coming down crooked and now wont go up. Need to over ride to manual to get it back up I think but dont know how. Also, where is the Bunk bed lift controller to synch the two motors. Anyone?

You have the same overhead bunk I do. Unfortunately, I have never had to search for the controller but I understand it is behind a false panel in one of the front corner cubbies (probably RH side).

The bed appears to be jammed on the RH side. Can you lift that free of the bottom track while attempting to retract?

I know the two linear actuators are in the front corners. Looks like maybe one stopped working; or the bed got caught on one of the side cubbies' netting? Sorry I couldn't be more help.
 
Brave heart time.
On your back in the front seat bottom, with your feet in the air like you just don't care

Feet pressed against the bottom of the bed

Steady 100lb(ish) upward pressure applied near the toothed motor rail...no kicking no matter how mad you are.
Get a strong person to do this if you're short and/or delicate.

This will steadily overcome the motor and allow you to get things aligned.

And pushing is on the low side with motors on going up, down or no motor at all.
