Of all the models in the Elddis Avante range, the Avante 556 may be the caravan most suited to family holidays. With its luxurious rear four-bunk and lounge area, it provides plenty of space for mum, dad and the kids, as well as everyone's belongings.

The Elddis Avante range has been completely redesigned for 2011, so the interior is fresh and modern. There are more than 40 major new improvements, including Grade 3 thermal insulation, deeper overhead lockers, LED lighting, contrasting flush-fit kitchen units with feature glazing and positive locking doors, and improved headroom of 6'5".

The caravan is equipped with Truma Ultraheat dual fuel rapid blown air heating and a Truma Ultrastore dual fuel gas and 230V mains water heater. In the kitchen area there's a new style Thetford oven with separator grill and pan storage, a four-burner hob with durable smoked glass cover, acting as extra worktop space when required, and a round, stainless steel sink with an anti-slip removable drainer for easy cleaning.

The mod cons continue in the bathroom, with Truma Ultraheat-ducted heating and hanging rails for fast drying of towels and clothes, an illuminated vanity mirror and a Whale Premium submersible pump with a carbon filter for improved water flow to showers and sinks.

  • Berth: 6
  • MTPLM: 1,499 kg
  • Internal Headroom: 6'5"
  • Shipping Length: 24'1"
  • Awning Size: 1,002 cm
