A refined four-berth caravan with a fixed French bed.
The Elddis Affinity 540 is a single-axle caravan designed for two to four people, featuring a fixed French bed and a spacious end washroom. It is constructed using the SoLiD system and equipped with Alde central heating, positioning it as a high-specification choice for year-round touring.

- Built using the SoLiD Construction system for structural integrity.
- Front parallel lounge converts into a second double bed.
- Single-axle chassis with a 1451kg MTPLM.
Worth knowing: The side-fixed bed design may feel narrower than a standard domestic double. Kitchen worktop space is restricted when the hob and sink are both in use. Single-axle stability may be affected by high winds compared to twin-axle models.
