About the Compass Avantgarde 100

The Compass Avantgarde 100 is a quintessential entry-level motorhome that has long been a favourite among UK motorhomers for its clever use of space and nimble handling. Built primarily on the reliable Peugeot Boxer chassis, this compact coachbuilt model is designed to provide a comfortable 'home from home' without the intimidating footprint of larger vehicles. Its short wheelbase makes it exceptionally easy to park and navigate through narrow country lanes, making it an ideal choice for those transitioning from campervans or couples seeking uncomplicated weekend getaways.

Inside, the Avantgarde 100 typically features a classic end-kitchen layout which opens up the living area significantly. High-quality cabinetry and durable upholstery ensure the interior stands up to the rigours of touring life. Despite its compact exterior, the high-line profile often accommodates an over-cab bed, allowing for versatile sleeping arrangements or additional storage space during the day. This model is a testament to the fact that you don't need a massive vehicle to enjoy a fully-equipped mobile lifestyle.
