About the Compass Avantgarde 200

The Compass Avantgarde 200 is a quintessential entry-level motorhome that has long been a favourite on UK roads. Built on the reliable Peugeot Boxer chassis, this compact coachbuilt model is famous for its classic Rear U-Shaped Lounge, which provides a panoramic view of your surroundings and transforms easily into a spacious double bed. Its short wheelbase makes it exceptionally easy to manoeuvre through narrow country lanes and simple to park at campsites, making it an ideal choice for those new to motorhoming or couples seeking a stress-free touring experience.

Inside, the Avantgarde 200 prioritises space and light. The side kitchen is well-equipped with a hob, grill, and fridge, while the compact washroom provides everything needed for off-grid adventures. Despite its modest external dimensions, the clever use of overhead locker storage and under-seat space ensures you can carry all your essentials without feeling cluttered. It is a practical, honest motorhome that delivers high value for money. Explore the latest Compass Avantgarde 200 listings and find your perfect travel companion on RoamWorthy.
