Layout, optional extras and staying off grid. Why we chose the Compass 155 Avantgarde motorhome 

😂, yes, and it’s all Andrew’s doing🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for watching 👀👍

Totally not Andrew obvs- J

Hi Kevin, many thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I think we share the same positive observations and experiences of the Peugeot van. You’ve done what we did with solar, experiment and work out needs to then adapt your system to meet them. We did a big upgrade last year and really like the benefits (but not the cost!) Thanks for watching 👀 Kevin, happy camping 👍 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

We all could do with a few more inches!! 😂 I think I’ve seen your bathroom mod on one of the Elddis FB groups, looks a good idea 👍 Cheers Sam 🍻

Thanks guys, we enjoyed making it. Nearly August, so you’ll be just about ready to depart on your European adventure? We’ll keep an eye out for the vlogs!! 🎥 Cheers Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

You’re very welcome, and the 155/fixed bed arrangement is spot on too, we love it and it lets us spend a loooooooooot of time in the van comfortably. The ta k heaters were part of the winter pack, if you have them you need to be careful. The tank heaters on the Elddis motorhomes are quite effective and have worked for me many times, recently in the Arctic Circle. To work you need to turn the switch on, and the control panel must be on (so won’t work while driving which I think is a shame). Once switched on, as above, they will activate, ie heat the fresh and grey tanks, if the temperature gets to below 5 degrees and there is water in the tank(s) (there is a float switch in each tank to prevent heating if they are empty) Each tank heater will draw up to 2.5 amps, so a max of 5 amps in total. If on EHU this is no problem but could be on some sites with a less than 16 amp supply if you are also using your heating, kettle etc. It’s more a problem if you are not on EHU, as they will very quickly drain a standard leisure battery, but can be managed if you have a bigger lithium, say 200 ah or greater. If you need any help/advice at all drop is an email, very happy to help. There is a couple of useful Elddis Facebook groups worth joining. Thanks for watching 👀 and good luck with your new van. Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

@@Eurosully thanks that a great help 👍

Already sorted mate, am now all USB’d up!! 👍

It is indeed. It’s been a great piece of kit for the money too. Only down side is that the battery is now shot so has to be permanently plugged into USB. Cheers 🍻 for watching 👀 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶

Hi Andrew, what dash mount did you use?

@@Motorhomingmonkey it’s an after market one I bought from a market in France. Self adhesive base and phone/nav mount.

And now, after 12 months of ownership, we still have them 😭 Thanks for watching 👍
