Practical ownership tips

Towing suitability

At 1,700kg MTPLM, your tow car needs a kerbweight of at least 2,000kg to meet the 85% guideline. Check towing capacity by reg or use the towing calculator to compare a specific car and caravan.

Available payload

The Elddis Avante 860 has approximately 250kg of user payload. This must cover all personal belongings, water, gas, awning, and accessories. Overloading affects handling and is illegal.

Before you buy

Request a habitation check or damp survey for any used caravan. Check the service history, tyre age, chassis condition, and whether the CRIS registration matches the seller. Specifications vary by year and trim level.

A wide-body twin-axle caravan for families and couples.

The Elddis Avante 860 is a 2.45m wide-body caravan designed for those who prioritise internal living space. Built on a twin-axle AL-KO chassis, it offers a stable platform for its 8.05m length. With berth options ranging from 2 to 6, it accommodates various group sizes, typically featuring an end washroom and side dinette. Its 1700kg MTPLM and 250kg payload make it a substantial touring option that requires a capable tow vehicle.

Worth knowing: The 2.45m width requires careful route planning on narrower UK roads. Towing requires a heavy-duty vehicle capable of managing a 1700kg MTPLM. Layouts and berth counts vary significantly across the production run.

Buying an Elddis Avante 860

Who it suits

• Large families requiring up to 6 berths and a dedicated side dinette.
• Couples who prefer the extra floor space provided by a 2.45m wide-body design.
• Year-round tourers who benefit from the Truma heating and insulated body construction.

Reasons to consider it

• The 2.45m width provides a significantly more open lounge and kitchen area than standard caravans.
• The end washroom layout offers a private dressing area and separate shower cubicle.
• It represents competitive value in the pre-owned market with prices starting from £18,000.

What to check

• Confirm the specific berth count (2 to 6) as this varies by model year.
• Verify the operation of the Truma heating system during a viewing.
• Inspect the condition of the AL-KO chassis and twin-axle tyres.
• Check the side dinette and bunk configurations to ensure they meet your family needs.

Worth knowing: Payload is fixed at 250kg; ensure this covers all essential equipment and personal items. The 8.05m length may exceed the pitch limits of some smaller campsites.

Compared to the Elddis Crusader Tempest, it offers a similar footprint but at a lower price point, while the Bailey Pegasus Grande Turin provides a lighter alternative for those with lower towing limits.

Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

Ownership and Towing Advice

Utilise the twin-axle stability by ensuring tyre pressures are checked before every long journey.
Take advantage of the 2.45m width by choosing pitches that offer extra room for awning attachment.
Monitor the Truma heating fluid levels if the system is used frequently for winter touring.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Underestimating the swing of an 8.05m caravan when navigating tight corners.
• Exceeding the 250kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories like motor movers.

Worth knowing: Always use a towing calculator to ensure your vehicle is legally rated for the 1700kg MTPLM.
