About the Elddis Avante 860 APEX
The Elddis Avante 860 APEX stands out as a flagship 8ft-wide caravan, meticulously designed to offer unparalleled spaciousness for touring families and couples across the UK. Built upon a robust AL-KO chassis with a twin-axle configuration, this model delivers exceptional stability on the road, ensuring comfortable long-distance journeys. The ‘APEX’ designation signifies a premium specification exclusive to select dealerships, featuring upgraded upholstery and aesthetic refinements that perfectly complement the open-plan living area and the highly popular L-shaped front lounge.
Inside, the 860 layout is headlined by a magnificent rear bedroom, boasting a retractable transverse island bed that allows for easy access from both sides during the day. This private sanctuary is cleverly separated from the main living area by a modern central washroom, which can function as a full-width en-suite or a communal facility. The extra width of the ‘Super-Sixty’ body shell truly shines in the kitchen and dining zones, providing ample room for multiple occupants to move freely.

Compare the Elddis Avante 860 APEX with similar models
| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elddis Avante 860 APEX | 4 | 1715 kg | 8.05 m | £24,500 to £33,500 |
| Bailey Unicorn Cartagena | 4 | 1690 kg | 7.89 m | £20,000 to £38,000 |

The Elddis Avante 860 APEX is a substantial eight foot wide caravan that prioritises internal volume and stability. When compared to alternatives like the Bailey Unicorn Cartagena or the Elddis Riva 860, it sits at the heavier end of the spectrum with a 1715kg MTPLM. While the Riva 860 shares its 8.05m length, the Avante 860 APEX is distinguished by its specific dealer-exclusive refinements. Buyers must weigh the benefits of the extra-wide living space against the requirements for a heavy tow vehicle and the challenges of navigating a 2.45m wide body.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Towing Tips
- Utilise the Active Trailer Control (ATC) on the AL-KO chassis for safer towing.
- Retract the transverse island bed during the day to maximise walkway space to the rear.
- Check your driving licence categories to ensure you are permitted to tow a 1715kg MTPLM caravan.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Underestimating the turning circle required for an 8.05m twin-axle caravan.
- • Exceeding the 159kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories.
Worth knowing: The 8.05m length and 2.45m width make this one of the largest caravans on UK roads.
