Avanté is renowned for being one of the UK’s best value for money starter ranges. The 2006 Avanté range receives an internal fixture and fittings upgrade with items such as the new Spinflo 3 burner hob, space saving sink with removable drainer, Prima Mark3 oven, and Horrex easy slide full door fly screen.
2006 sees the addition of the 482 end washroom 2 berth layout to the 9 model Avanté range.
Improvements for 2006
- Bigger fixed double bed (longer and wider) in 540
- Blown air heating outlet in bedroom in 540 layout
- New rear bedroom TV shelf c/w 12v, 230v & aerial sockets in 540 layout
- New style folding side dinette table leg (524 only)
- Lift up kitchen worktop extension replaces tambour on 534 models
- Improved toilet layout including swivel toilet (505/636 layout only)
- New hanging collapsible wardrobe shelving (472/534 only)



The new modified A-Frame on the BPW Swing V-Tec chassis is the main
change to the exterior of the Avanté for 2006.
The new position of the jockey wheel aids manoeuvrability, whilst the easy
action handbrake could not be simpler to operate.
A new A-Frame cover neatly conceals the jockey wheel when retracted and
gives a cleaner finish to the front of the caravan. When not in use, the hitch
cable plugs fit snugly into the bespoke recessed mouldings on the cover that
help protect the pins from the elements.
At the rear of the caravan is a new, brighter, and more highly reflective rear
visibility panel to aid night time safety whilst towing.



Avanté retains the warm fun loving Capiro Corfu red and gold sprung upholstery with
matching pelmets. The complementary gold curtains and tiebacks, and gold scatter cushions
with red piping give the interior of the Avanté a warm, bright and vibrant appearance.
The internal veneered furniture is made from Montreal Maple, whilst all worktops are finished
with decorative laminate with a silver grey granite effect.
Another simple and practical improvement is the re-design of the occasional table top on the
front chest of drawers. Rather than having to remove items from the top of the unit to flip over
the table top, it simply slides out from underneath and drops neatly into place (parallel lounge
models only).
A new Horrex full door fly screen supplies practicality whilst the un-tensioned, easy slide action
is a major improvement.
The Kitchen
The new Spinflo 3 burner hob with large high speed multi-function burner gives a greater range of options when using larger pans for cooking. Add to this the new Prima Mark3 oven and the cooking of any meal is easily accommodated. Food preparation is also given a helping hand with the addition of the new space saving sink with bespoke silver washing up bowl and removable drainer, freeing up more work surface when you need it the most.
