Hi Steve

I think you asked about the poles in the beds

Grounds for a joke there, but don't want to get thrown off the forum

Assuming you have dinette seating as we had on the E445, the sides of the seats slid out on poles, and a central slatted base extended to the edge of the seats only.
Stored in the luton were two wooden panels that lodged across the poles, and separate bolster cushions were also stored up there.
These cushions and panels effectively extended the dinette sideways into a double bed, but the foam was of a totally different density which meant that it was uncomfortable.
We bought a memory foam mattress to lay over the bed, and it was like sleeping on cloud - well worth the investment.

If you don't have the panels and bolsters you should maybe check with Swift to see if they were supplied when new.

I'm sure other owners will be able to advise in any case.

Wife n' me found the ladder to the loft just too arduous on the joints and tootsies.

Hope this is of use.

Paul

Steve

Our 445 was a 53 plate, and didn't have the marker light moulding on the front, but otherwise I would guess the spec would be the same for all these models.

There were two chipboard panels in a teak colour finish, and these had transverse strips fixed to one side to ensure the panels remained in situ when resting on the extensions.
The bolster cushions were not upholstered, but were covered in a grey fabric.
One cushion was solid (approximately as long as the cushion depth).
The other cushion was in two parts, hinged by the fabric, and that stretched across the gap so to speak.

I guess you will have been in every storage area and cubby hole by now, so if you can't find them and can't get any from the seller let me know.

I have a client who makes cushions for the caravan industry, and I am confident that they would make some up at a reasonable price; but you would need to get hold of some chipboard panels.
Alternatively Swift may help, but my experience is that they will only supply through a dealer.

Let me know how you get on.

Ciao

Paul
