the difference?

I'm pretty sure that Buccaneer are top end price wise, can someone shed light on the three reamining? They all appear to be made by the same manufacturer

    They are indeed all made by Elddis and if you are looking at buying a new van please be aware that the SOILD hype does not cover the front/rear panels as they only carry a 12 month warranty.

    Make sure you look at every thing in detail inside before parting with final monies.

    We are now arguing as our rear panel has cracked at 16 months.

    Elddis reintroduced the Compass range in 2014 after a few years absence using the Alko chassis, Elddis used BPW, then in 2015 all Elddis now use Alko! My Compass Omega 482 is the same as the Elddis Affinity 482, same layout, equipment, weight, just a different
    colour scheme. The 1 year warranty runs out this November (2016) so will be checking it very carefully.
