We have a 2007 524.  If your switches are the same as ours, there's 3 by the door - the one nearest the door (with a small LED indicator) is for the awning light (don't use it too much when on not on mains, as it uses a lot of power).  The other two are 'master' switches for the rest of the interior lights - we have one that controls the lights in the bathroom, plus the light over the side dinette, and the second one controls the rest of the lights.  These switches are really useful - they mean you can leave a light/lights switched on at the light itself (all the lights have their own switches) and switch them off as you leave/on when you return without having to feel your way round in the dark!

Can't answer the bed questions, I'm afraid - our layout is different.

As for the 'van as a whole, we love ours.  We've had very few problems (got ours new), adn have used it extensively.  The bed is incredibly comfortable, the 'van in cosy and welcoming, the fact that the little table between the front seats pulls out instead of folds out is great as you don't have to completely empty it every time!!

Enjoy your new 'van.

we have a 2007 505 had it since new, and love it took us a while to get use to the L shaped lounge. The thing that got us was the side washroom the seperate shower which we find quite big, Our daughter and son-in-law liked it too as they went out and bought exactley the same and seem happy.The front bed does not go right to the wardrobes, we tend to use the back bed and if we are going out all day we leave it up. The lights are how scampi described. Hope you enjoy your new van as much as we enjoy ours.

We are about to celebrate having our Compass Omega 505 a year now and love it. Its in storage went to check at the weekend that everything was ok we both stood in side and said how much we loved the lay out and really needed to get away. I still have problems with the light switches turning the wrong lights on and off but its fun. Im sure you will figure bits out as your going. Hope you enjoy it as much as we are
