Compass Avantgarde 115 - 2019

There’s something magical about the Compass Avantgarde 115 — it feels less like a motorhome and more like a little retreat on wheels, perfectly tailored for two. At under six metres in length, it slips effortlessly into everyday life, whether tucked neatly onto your driveway or gliding into a parking bay. It can even come under cheaper ferry fares, meaning those spontaneous adventures across the water are within easy reach. Best of all, you can drive it with nothing more than a standard car license. But the true charm lies in what awaits when you step inside. The cab seats swivel to join a pair of long, elegant settees, creating the perfect space for slow mornings with coffee and late evenings sharing a glass of wine. By night, the lounge transforms into either a large, indulgent double bed or two singles, depending on how you like to sleep.

The kitchen, nestled at the rear, compact though it may be, is equipped with everything you need—hob, grill, oven, microwave, fridge freezer, sink, and generous storage. Tucked alongside, the en-suite offers a shower, toilet, and basin. It’s a private space, ensuring that even in the heart of the wilderness, you never have to give up life’s comforts. A full-length wardrobe stands ready to keep clothes neat and organised, with a dedicated spot for the free-standing table. High and low-level cupboards wrap around the interior, ensuring there’s always space for those little essentials you want to bring along. It’s storage that works quietly in the background, leaving you with a motorhome that feels both open and uncluttered.

Step outside and you’ll find thoughtful extras: an external BBQ point for lazy summer evenings, and an awning that turns the outdoors into an extension of your living space. As you head back inside, the flyscreen door lets the fresh air in while keeping any unwanted guests (the buzzing kind) out. Inside, blackout blinds promise long, restful nights, while a TV point and free-standing table make evenings as cosy or as entertaining as you wish. And when the open road calls again, the cab keeps the romance of travel alive — with cruise control, air conditioning, DAB radio, and steering wheel controls making every journey as relaxed as the destination. A handy USB port keeps your devices charged so you can capture each memory as it happens.
