What to check

| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elddis Crusader Tempest / CONNECT + | 6 | 1880 kg | 8.18 m | £24,500 to £43,995 |

| Elddis Crusader Tempest | 6 | 1880 kg | 8.12 m | £18,500 to £42,000 |
The Elddis Crusader Tempest / CONNECT + sits in a competitive price bracket between 24500 and 43995. While it shares a 6-berth capacity with the Buccaneer Aruba and Swift Elegance Grande 845, it distinguishes itself with the specific CONNECT + smart control integration and the SoLiD bonded construction method. The Buccaneer models often carry a higher MTPLM, whereas the Swift offers a lighter 1800kg alternative, making the Elddis a mid-weight option in the premium twin-axle sector.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the Aero-flow heavy-duty corner steadies for faster pitch setup.
- Monitor the Alde heating fluid levels as part of annual servicing.
- Use the CONNECT + app to pre-heat the cabin before arrival in winter.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Exceeding the 159kg payload when packing for six occupants.
- • Underestimating the 8.18m total length when booking smaller pitches.
Worth knowing: Twin axles can make manual manoeuvring difficult without a motor mover.
