The Compass Avantgarde 100 is a established entry-level choice for those prioritising a compact 5.4 metre length and a 3200kg MTPLM. While the Elddis Accordo and Ace Adventurer 630EK offer longer footprints and higher weight limits, the Avantgarde 100 remains a competitive option for buyers seeking a sub-6 metre coachbuilt with a 550kg payload. Its price range of 14500 to 32000 positions it as an accessible entry point compared to newer alternatives like the Panama P/12.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Owning an Avantgarde 100
- Utilise the over-cab area for storage during the day to keep the side dinette clear.
- Regularly service the Peugeot Boxer chassis to maintain reliable performance.
- Make use of the 5.4 metre length to access smaller campsites that larger coachbuilts cannot reach.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the 550kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories.
- Assuming all models have 4 belted seats; some may only feature 2.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the specific MTPLM on the vehicle plate before loading. Be mindful of the 2.9 metre height when navigating low bridges or car parks.
