dmum Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 we are considering swapping our caravan for a motorhome. I have seen a compass suntor 150 which i really liked because of the end lounge layout. I wondered if anyone had any feedback / info about this model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepe63xnotuse Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Hi dmum.. What year is it?... If it between 2007 and 2010(*ish), then these previous discussions are worth a read: https://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/Corrosion-of-body-work-on-Elddis-Autoquest-100/32495/ https://www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/ELDDIS-AUTOQUEST-2010-ALLOY-CORROSION-AND-WOOD-ROT/33446/ (* I'm not sure when they changed their build method( possibly '11-12?) so the issues above may well affect vans past the 2010 van in that second link ..?) When ours ('07 Compass Avantgarde 120 Suntor) was corroding, I noted that the various older model types I saw about, appeared to be fine.... :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartO Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 An end lounge is caravan-like and it does provide a comfortable lounge area. Motorhomes are however all about maximising the use and flexibility of space, so layouts which incorporate the driving/passenger seats into the lounge area make use if those which would other wise be wasted, so a front lounge layout will often provide better overall use of space than a rear lounge. Enjoy motorhoming and don't expect to get it perfectly right first time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayjsj Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 dmum - 2015-05-15 8:35 AM we are considering swapping our caravan for a motorhome. I have seen a compass suntor 150 which i really liked because of the end lounge layout. I wondered if anyone had any feedback / info about this model.. The Compass 150 and the Elddis Autoquest 150 are virtually the same van, lots of ex Caravanners opt for a rear lounge, and many different makers do them, not so popular amongst Continental makers however who tend to opt for fixed beds. Take your time looking , don't be rushed into anything, and if buying from a dealer (wise for a 1st motorhome) make sure the warranty is for at least a year and covers water ingress repairs. Good luck. Explorer group made Compass both Caravans and Motorhomes, dropped the Compass name in about 2008 but as I said Elddis and Compass were virtually identical.

flicka Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Just to add the "Suntor" name was a dealer special so would be fitted with some extra's when compared to the manufacturers standard specification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
