Hi Andy, really enjoyed that review, yeah Eldiss have done a great job with the make over version of the old 554 that we have. Lots more kit and very stylish cabinets and I do agree with you about the simple heater and water heater controls, I'm glad they kept that as it's a trouble free system. The seating quality was good in the Xplore range and they have continued that with a very nice modern design. Personally we are fans of the panoramic window in the front as it allows a great view for us out to the sea albeit I don't recommend opening it out as I'm told they are very heavy and strain easily and may leak. Great buy for anyone in the market for a lightweight tourer thats very comfortable for 2 people.
Tooling is the problem cost alot so they havfe done a dressing up - curtains would be good I would not have included a Omnivent - you wouldnt expect one in this sector - hope your doing ok Iain
Again a fabulous package for the money but looks a little spartan. I think they could have swapped the omnivent for a bit of decor to bring a bit of colour. You mention the German connection, I suspect a Teutonic hand guiding this one; an omnivent is incredibly logical and I understand that. But it also needs a visual wow factor which it lacks. That said I hope they sell them by the bucketful.

Hi Andy, Great review, wow, certainly get your moneys worth with this van, lets hope the range extends. Conrad
Great review as usual Andy keep up the good work !
Thank you so much !
Needs some kind of window dressing and that front panel is medieval. Still a good looking package tho.

@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk I did think the omnivent was a strange Inclusion.
@@iainmclean8509 possibly over spec for market its intended for?

love the size and simplicity. you must have curtains when youve got spring loaded blinds.thats really put a downer on it for me. shame.
I would have skipped the Omnivent for curtains and a carpet! Thanks Paul
