    Rear Fixed Bunk Beds Motorhomes

    Last updated: 12 August 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    A versatile family motorhome on a 3500kg chassis.

    The Swift Lifestyle 696 is a special edition coachbuilt motorhome designed for large families, offering six berths and six seatbelts within a 6.92m length. Originally commissioned by Marquis Leisure and based on the Swift Escape, it features a practical layout including rear bunk beds, a side dinette, and an over-cab bed. With a 3500kg MTPLM, it is accessible to drivers with a standard UK licence while providing a 515kg payload for equipment and passengers.

    • Six berth capacity featuring rear bunk beds and a spacious over-cab double bed.
    • Built on the Fiat Ducato chassis with a 2.3L MultiJet engine for touring.
    • Kitchen equipped with a three burner hob, oven, grill, and microwave.
    • SMART construction technology designed for durability and moisture resistance.

    Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM limits the available payload to 515kg when travelling with a full group. The over-cab profile increases wind resistance compared to low-profile alternatives.

    Buying a used Swift Lifestyle 696

    Who it suits

    • • Large families requiring six dedicated berths and travel seats in a manageable 6.92m length.
    • • Drivers limited to a 3500kg MTPLM who need a high-capacity vehicle without a C1 licence.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • The 6.92m length is relatively compact for a full six berth motorhome.
    • • The rear bunk bed layout is specifically designed for families with children.
    • • Special edition status often includes higher equipment levels than the standard Escape range.

    What to check

    • • Verify the operation of the Truma Combi heating and hot water system.
    • • Inspect the rear garage area and the mechanism for stowing the bottom bunk.
    • • Check the condition of the soft furnishings and cabinetry for wear from family use.
    • • Confirm the service history of the 2.3L MultiJet Fiat engine.

    Worth knowing: Payload management is critical as the 515kg limit must cover all six passengers and their luggage. The washroom design is compact to allow for the generous sleeping and living areas.

    Compare the Swift LIFESTYLE 696 with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Swift LIFESTYLE 69663500 kg6.92 m£32,000 to £58,000
    Swift Voyager63500 kg6.90 m£45,000 to £90,000
    Swift Escape63500 kg5.99 m£35,000 to £75,000

    The Swift Lifestyle 696 sits in a competitive segment alongside the Auto-Trail Scout and Bailey Approach. While the Bailey offers a longer 7.45m body, the Swift maintains a sub-7m length of 6.92m, making it easier to manoeuvre. All three models share a 3500kg MTPLM, but the Swift is distinguished by its specific special edition heritage and SMART construction. Choosing between them often depends on whether the buyer prioritises the Swift bunk bed layout or the different dimensions offered by its rivals.

    Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

    Practical ownership of the Lifestyle 696

    • Utilise the stowable bottom bunk to expand the rear garage storage for bulky outdoor gear.
    • Monitor the 515kg payload carefully when touring with a full capacity of six people.
    • Take advantage of the 2.31m width for stable towing and comfortable internal living space.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Exceeding the 3500kg MTPLM by failing to account for the weight of six adult passengers.
    • • Underestimating the 2.94m height when navigating routes with low bridges or overhanging trees.

    Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact payload of a specific unit as optional extras will reduce the 515kg allowance.
