THE AVANTÉ is very popular with customers looking for a value-for-money tourer, and the range has always offered a wide selection of layouts. It’s remained a strong brand, selling well over the years.
Many Elddis dealerships have also based their special edition models on the Avanté.
By 2015, the line-up had eight layouts. The impressive spec included blown-air heating by Whale. The generous storage was another strong point.
Model history
The range provided excellent layouts for families, although some proved less appealing and were discontinued.
For 2015, the Avanté was placed on an Al-Ko chassis with AKS hitch and ATC.
The eight models ranged from the 462 end-washroom two-berth to the huge 636 twin-axle six-berth.
The Avanté 576, a single-axle six-berth, was launched for the 2013 season, proving a popular choice. The layout provided a large front dinette, a very well-equipped kitchen on the offside, and opposite, a side dinette that could sleep two small children.
Then there were the offside fixed bunk beds, and the very spacious rear-corner washroom with separate shower cubicle.
