Just in and awaiting a service but ready to view now.
This lovey rear end bedroom caravan with large island bed, will go through an NCC Approved workshop full service prior to being sold for that extra peace of mind. Luxury caravanning for two people at its best! With its larger than normal sizing this caravan would make an ideal luxury seasonal pitch option. With the rear bedroom with island bed that can be shut off from the rest of the caravan coupled with the good sized kitchen and full size fridge freezer this caravan really is a home from home. Included in the sale price is the all wheel drive motor mover which is a very expensive option to have fitted, and a large Avtec TV.
(The owner also has a 3/4 Dometic Ace Air All Season 400s Awning which is only a few months old and cost £2200 which is for sale separately).
The below write up is directly from Practical Caravan and describes this caravan perfectly.
Breaking the tape at just over 8m long and 2.45m wide, the new Elddis Avanté 860 is a serious proposition.
Stability under tow will be improved by the Al-Ko ATC anti-snaking system, fitted as standard to the Al-Ko galvanised steel chassis, which also features heavy duty corner steadies.
All connections are made on the offside, so there’ll be no untidy hook-up cable trail or services emptying into the awning.
Stepping inside through the two-piece entrance door, which has a half-length window, the Whale IC control panel is to your left and the mains consumer unit is easily accessed at the kitchen end of the offside lounge sofa.
Avanté’s teaming of light-toned wood, beige sofas and grey curtains makes for a living area that feels bright and airy.
With 8ft of width to exploit, the lounge also feels very inviting. Daylight streams in through no fewer than seven windows, including a front skylight and rooflight.
Supporting these you’ll find four directional LED spotlights and the de rigeur over-locker ambient lighting.
Seat lengths of 1.88m make the Elddis Avanté 860’s lounge a great place to entertain in, and with two blown-air vents in the lounge, Whale’s 4.3kW dual-fuel space heating will make it comfortable all year round.
Creators of caravan cuisine will find much to keep them productive in the 860’s kitchen. The kit list includes dual-fuel hotplates, a separate oven and grill, a microwave oven, a round sink with smart mixer tap and a generously proportioned 155-litre fridge. A pair of mains sockets is provided for the likes of coffee machines and toasters. The decent amount of work surface can be boosted via the tip-up flap at the end of the kitchen unit – add the lowered cooker lid for even more.
Full-width midships washrooms are such a wonderful thing, it’s surprising that no-one thought of bringing them to caravans before now. And a van that’s 8ft wide, like the Avanté 860, certainly allows this particular layout aspect to be exploited to maximum effect. Entering the washroom through the domestic-style door, you’re greeted with a spacious shower cubicle on the nearside, with a bi-fold door. The wheel arch intrusion forms a handy step to sit on, assuming you’re intending to have a long session under the spray. You’ll find the vanity unit and cassette toilet on the opposite side of the van. Thanks to its smart sculpted oval handbasin and swan neck mixer tap, this space has a contemporary vibe. A half-length mirror and a heating vent make it an ideal dressing room, one that can be closed off from the rear bedroom by its sliding door.
The main draw of the Elddis Avanté 860 is, of course, its rear island bed, designed to allow both occupants to visit the washroom in the night without having to disturb each other. Like other beds of its type on the market, the 860’s island bed is retractable, to enable daytime access to the wardrobe or corner vanity unit on the rear wall. Deployed for sleeping, the bed measures 1.9 x 1.35m (6ft 3in x 4ft 5in). Up front, the parallel seats can be used as 6ft 2in-long single beds, or a 6ft 11in x 4ft 8in double. Aside from sleeping provision, the rear bedroom also features two large overhead lockers and a pair of wardrobes, plus a corner vanity unit with power point that makes it into a handy hairdryer station. The bedroom’s two windows have curtains that run on a metal rail, and there’s a rooflight for further illumination. Provision of overlocker lighting and LED spotlights mirrors that in the front lounge.
With a 159kg user payload to distribute, the Elddis Avanté 860 offers a wide range of locations in which to deploy it.
Larger items will find good homes in the lounge seat boxes or in the gaping space under the island bed, which can also be accessed from outside the van. With a decent handle and gas struts, the bed is easily lifted.
Elsewhere, there are eight overhead lockers – four in the lounge, two in the kitchen and two in the bedroom – with other cupboard and shelf space to be found in the kitchen and washroom.
Highlights include the under-sink cupboard, with its generous headroom, and the three drawers to its left.
The TV stand to the right of the entrance door sits on top of a tall cupboard, while another tall unit with four small shelves and a space for the folding-leaf lounge table have been squeezed in on the other side of the fridge.
And we particularly applaud the slide-out counter above the shelves flanking the island bed.
This caravan has a place within our otherwise full hard standing gated and CCTV monitored caravan storage facility (subject to availability).
