A versatile sub-six-metre coachbuilt for licence-restricted drivers.
The Compass Avantgarde 400 is a compact coachbuilt motorhome measuring 5.95 metres in length, built on the Peugeot Boxer chassis. It is specifically designed to accommodate between two and four berths while maintaining a 3300kg MTPLM, making it accessible to drivers with a standard UK car licence. With a generous 550kg payload and multiple layout options including a U-shaped lounge, it balances social space with practical weight limits.
- Compact 5.95-metre length designed for easier parking and narrow road navigation.
- MTPLM of 3300kg allows for operation on a standard UK Category B driving licence.
- Versatile layout options including Rear Lounge, Mid Dinette, or U-Shaped Lounge configurations.
- Substantial 550kg payload capacity for carrying equipment and supplies.
- Year-round utility provided by a Whale underfloor heating system and double-glazed windows.
Worth knowing: The bathroom dimensions may prove restrictive for taller occupants. External locker storage is limited compared to larger coachbuilt alternatives. Fresh water tank capacities are compact, which may impact off-grid touring duration.
Buying a Compass Avantgarde 400
Who it suits
- • Couples or small families seeking a vehicle under 3500kg to avoid licence restrictions.
- • Drivers who prioritise a shorter 5.95-metre footprint for easier storage and urban driving.
Reasons to consider it
- • The 550kg payload is high for a vehicle of this size and weight class.
- • The Peugeot Boxer chassis provides car-like driving dynamics for those new to motorhomes.
- • Price points ranging from 18500 to 42000 offer an entry-level route into coachbuilt ownership.
What to check
- • Confirm the exact berth count as models range from two to four berths.
- • Inspect the kitchen area, including the three-burner hob and oven/grill functionality.
- • Test the LED interior lighting and the operation of flyscreens and night blinds.
Worth knowing: Verify the specific layout of used models as configurations vary between rear lounge and mid-dinette. Check the condition of the Whale underfloor heating system during inspections.

The Compass Avantgarde 400 and its alternatives like the Elddis Autoquest 150 and Auto-Trail Excel 620s all target the compact coachbuilt market. While the Avantgarde 400 features a 3300kg MTPLM and a 5.95-metre length, alternatives such as the Bürstner Nexxo or Autocruise Starfire offer slightly different weight profiles and lengths up to six metres. Choosing between them often depends on the specific preference for lounge layout versus bathroom space.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
