Avanté Apex: A Step Up in Luxury

The Avanté range, previously the cheapest option, has been rebranded as Avanté Apex. Starting at £27,000 OTR, the new range promises a more premium experience, with standard specs including diamond silver sides, a full Stargazer rooflight, a caravan solar panel, an Omnivent, an alarm and Tracker system, an Al-Ko wheel lock, heavy duty corner steadies, an offside service light, an external mains socket, shower, BBQ point, and Wi-fi readiness. The Avante Apex range includes six models, three of which are 8ft-wide.

Crusader: Expansion and Upgrades

The Crusader range has seen significant changes, with prices starting at £30,938 OTR. All models now come with Alde heating, a solar panel, Wi-fi readiness, an Al-Ko wheel lock, a tracker, an offside service light, and heavy duty corner steadies. The range expands with three new single-axle, conventional width models: the Hurricane (two-berth, end washroom), the Solano (four-berth with inline island bed at the back), and the Shamal (four-berth with fixed single beds at the back). Air conditioning is an option on the twin-axle models in the Crusader range. The range continues with two 8ft-wide single axle models: the Aurora and the Mistral.
