2023 Compass Avantgarde 194 thoughts?

[Sdrawde]

As we get closer to purchasing our first van, the list of favourites is ever reducing, and the 2023 Compass Avantgarde 194 ticks a lot of boxes, but I don't think it's winterised like a Knaus or a Burstner.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this, and any other advice on this model?

Thanks in advance.

I don't have one but I do think the Compass Avantgarde range have a winter pack option. I think it's tank heaters etc.

I watched the Eurosully youtube channel and they took their Avantgarde 155 to the Arctic Circle.

Build quality are world's apart the Compass is a budget van and prone to damp problems. Knaus & Burstner are far better vans.

Our first motorhome was a budget van, not an avantgarde but had no problems in 5 years.
We all have to work to a budget though. The ‘quality’ brands are not free from problems. They are mostly better insulated
