Very nice,
We went for the fixed end bed, side bathroom layout of the Elddis Affinity. The only reason being that we didn't want to have to walk past the bed to use the bathroom.
Whichever layout you go for, fixed bed is a great solution. Now its just me and the wife, there is no more assembling and breaking down of beds each day.

I tried that very model out in a showroom this weekend for the size of bed. Unfortunately there is no support for my legs beyond the knee. Hope you fit it Robbie!!A vaccine does not stop you catching a virus, or passing it on, or getting ill from it, really ill. It does reduce the likelyhood of you dying when really, really ill.

Well I'm not the tallest of blokes, that's for sure; but to be honest I didn't know I was expected to sleep in it anytime soon.

Just a thought, I joined the Swift-talk forum to get some help/support with my Conqueror 645 and found both Swift and Sargent (Electrical) to be extremely helpful for any queries I've had. The site itself does suffer a bit from some knowall types who like to stick their oar in now and then but they're easily ignored. The advantages outweigh anything they can do. There is a big advantage to having such direct contact with Swift Customer Service and they really are proactive when it comes to help. I speak a fair bit to a guy who is genuinely interested in my opinion and has asked for feedback to see if anything can be put into next years caravans. I suggested more payload as once A/C and AWD movers are fitted the payload is minimal. I asked before purchase if the van could be replated but was told the chassis was at it's limit. He suggested there may be ways to increase the payload and is speaking to ALKO. I also suggested more tech like music streaming and an extra satellite cable to allow for Sky/Digibox recording etc. They really do seem to be involved, just avoid the numpty's.
I should add there are no knowall types here, well not the ones that stick their oars in, much. FFRR 2017 4.4SDV8 Autobiography. Cost so much I must be mad!

Swift Talk very informative for fellow caravanners, just as said ignore the numptys especially one called Ralph as he takes over every thread, as most forums these is always one IMO
