Hi we've got a bailey pageant bordeaux series 7 caravan 2011.
We bought this April 2019. We've never used the on board water system, but because of the dreaded covid as you know some sites have no facilities open.
I'm wanting to know where the water heater switch is? I can't find anything in handbook.

The on/off switch should be visible on the wooden panel under the bench seating, ours is next to the fridge, but it will always be close to the water heater. The thermostat is a fixed temperature on electric but adjustable for gas, on our S7 Burgundy, it is above the fridge.

Do make sure the water is filled before switching it on and switch off before draining the tank, a blown element is an expensive fix.

On our S5 the water heater switch is on corner of the bed box next to the gas control temp knob.

The water thermostat control will be marked Truma Ultrastore, it will have numbers around the edge of the black knob, there is also an outer ring with which you switch the gas section on/off, (Solid dot or empty dot.
