Does anyone have pictures or video of the 2020 Swift Escape 674 front dinette bed layout make-up before the cushions are laid out?

The issue we have is the telescopic table rests onto the seat bases but the table leaf extension has no support whatsoever apart from the arms which attach it to the table top. My wife is 8 stone and it moves downwards when she kneels on it with and without a cushion this was demonstrated to the dealer in their workshop.

There are videos of 2019 and earlier models with the removable table leg but I can't find anything for the 2020 model with the fixed telescopic leg; the manual only demonstrates how to configure the cushions and not the supporting structure.

The dealer is saying Swift have replied to their enquiry that the table extension supported by fresh air is the correct design/configuration which seems to be a very poor design

    I had a similar problem with a caravan with aa long infil section that I felt needed a middle leg. I cut a block of timber (might have been3'' x 2') act a a base. Screwed a piece of wood to it about 3'' tall by the interior size of a section of square drain pipe which went over this and screwed in place

    Thats not really an option in this case as it would clash with seating and peoples legs; plus its a band new van and for what they cost it should be right and not require a work around.
