2012 Elddis Avante 646
  • May 9 2011 7:57PM Warren & Lisa

    Fantastic van we love the layout and it is so practical with 2 kids and 3 dogs.

    We love to get away as often as possible as previously we found our old layout was quite tight in the centre due to having the kitchen and the bathroom across the centre of the van. We love the space we have with the centre dinette and the fixed bunks mean the kids beds can be left made up.

    Overall fantastic layout and a pleasure to use, only one negative is that some of the internal fittings have had some issues but going to be taking back to the dealership to sort out.

    We'd definitely recommend the Avante 646!

    Straight from dealer to site - all nerves disappeared, total dream to tow.
    Our three kids loved the bunks and the double was made in a breeze. The fridge can hold more than enough beer and wine! Amazing amount of storage and the double dinette is fantastic, even got the high chair alongside and still managed to walk by!
    Don't forget your matches (no ignition on the cooker) and your watch (no clock) but hey, £4500 saving on the Tempest could buy you a Rolex!

    This layout is so flexible ! We have 4 children and a widowed Grandad, It slept 7 of of with ease. Triple bunks the kids love, All with own lights. Large Fridge/freezer for all of us. Insulation is fantastic, It was -5 outside and easily reached 26+ inside. Always had 6 berth Adria's in the past, But this won us over with the 2x double beds.Or 2x very large 7ft singles up front. First ever twin axle too, Which seems to stick to the road like railway tracks. Only downside we found was the wasted microwave oven as we find we don't use ours at home never mind on holiday. Apart from that well worth the money. Would not have normally bought new, but this had the 'wow','gosh' and flexible factor. After owning 3 Adria's, Never thought we would have left Adria ! Brilliant well done Elddis.

    We have had a Bailey Pageant Provence and were completely happy until we saw the Elddis 646. With 2 young children the fixed bunks are perfect for when they bring a friend. The layout is great with a proper fridge freezer and loads of space to eat without setting up the front table.
    A great design and great value for money
