Don't be fooled by its entry-level status and low retail price. Avanté is excellent value for money and easily competes against supposedly higher specification and higher priced vehicles.

The range offers far more than many touring caravans in this category.

In 2007 Avanté receives an external and internal fixture and fittings upgrade along with a choice of two new upholsteries. And with a full range of optional extras you can tailor the specification of any of the 9 models to suit your needs.

2007 also sees the addition of the new 544 fixed bed single axle model to the Avanté range.

Avante 2007 Vitual Tour

New Elddis family graphic design and vehicle decals, new design high level marker lights and an exterior access locker door with 230v output socket on all models brings more style and practicality to the Avanté range.

At the rear of the caravan is a highly reflective rear visibility panel to aid nighttime safety whilst towing and at the front the gas locker has been modified to take the new BP Light gas bottle as well as traditional steel cylinders.

Select from a choice of two new interior designs with fully coordinating upholstery fabrics, pelmets, curtains and loose lay removable carpets.

The solid wood decorative locker doors and internal veneered furniture is made from distinctive Montreal Maple, whilst all worktops are finished with decorative laminate.

New for 2007 is the addition of Montreal Maple veneer wall boards to all living areas with brushed steel effect wall board in the kitchen that combine to give Avanté the look of more expensive caravan interiors. Drop down bed box doors to the front dinette seating are now standard specification.

An extension to the occasional table top on the front chest of drawers simply slides out from underneath and drops neatly into place. The whole unit can be removed to provide a full wraparound seating area (parallel lounge models only).

The Kitchen

A 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 Prima Mark3 oven and the cooking of any meal is easily accommodated.

Food preparation is also given a helping hand with the space saving single sink, with bespoke silver washing up bowl and removable drainer, freeing up more work surface when you need it the most.

The Thetford N80e 81ltr refrigerator now comes with electronic ignition as standard.
