Elddis Caravans has upgraded the equipment and added two new layouts to its ever popular Avante collection for the 2013 model year.
As the largest range in the Elddis stable, the Avante is always going to be one of the most popular, and the Solid Construction manufacturers have done a sterling job of updating these mid-range tourers.
The key kit upgrades include a dual-fuel hob, a space-saving Whale underfloor heater and a larger capacity 13-litre Whale water heater.
What’s more, the exterior styling has been given an up-market boost, with the introduction of a silver front locker, to bring this range more in line with the luxurious Elddis Crusader collection.
The interior look remains very versatile, with pastel grey upholstery and light woodgrain on the overhead lockers. Moving into the bathroom and new Avante owners will get a larger wash basin as well.
Entertainment has been a key consideration, and now the Elddis Avante range comes with an Avtex seven-way TV fitted as standard, along with an omni-directional aerial for better signal.
Clever family layouts
Six layouts have been carried over from the 2012 range – the 462 is now the only two-berth option, as the compact 372 has been dropped.
Four-berth options include the popular 504, the highly versatile 564, and the 574, which was only launched ten months ago at the Birmingham NEC.
