Compass Rallye caravan feedback

It’s essentially the same as the Elddis. The Rallye always used to equate to the Crusader and I assume it still does. 

You may find more reviews/complaints by searching for the Elddis equivalent. 

Never have known what SOLID means

Strong-Light-Dry   allegedly 

No screws, all bonded together. Mine seems to be holding up at 5 years old apart from a little damp around the water pump connection found at the last service. They removed the socket and found the sealant had failed. done FOC.

So nothing substantial then 

That’s good to hear.

I’ll see what others say. 

or possibly "Soggy or lets in damp"

Or even Still Often Leaking Inducing Damp

If you are a member of the other club they have joined with Practical Caravan in reviewing owners reports on their caravans and you should have access to them. I am afraid Eldiss have come consistently at the bottom for customer satisfaction over the five years the magazine has run these surveys with some pretty appalling figures so I would check it over carefully.

We were at Beechwood Grange last year, and I was talking to the owner of a new model who had twenty faults on his caravan. I would look over the caravan carefully before buying and check the front and rear panels for cracking as this has been a serious problem for them.

It is not all bad as the satisfaction rating is over 70% but the others got better.

The dealer we bought our caravan from says the quality has improved under the new ownership (but they would as they sell them) and when we looked a couple there was no obvious faults so there is hope. In general we have always been impressed with the design though.

We have a Compass Omega 482 same as the Elddis Affinity, 2014 model purchase new in 2015. At first service and repaired under warranty; cracked rear panel, leaking heki rooflight and staining of roof boarding all replaced. Second service all OK and no signs of damp, it is coming up to it's 3rd service in November and have a few things to be sorted under the 3 year warranty, shower cubical cracking at one of the top screw fittings and a few other niggles to be put right, my dealer is very good. The caravan it's self is very good, comfortable with a good layout large rear washroom, shower etc. and very good when towed. In winter the Aldi heating is good, with plenty of LED lighting, however we do use our caravan most of the time off grid (solar power) so the gas system gets used a lot with no problems. Yes a very good caravan now the main issues have been sorted, hopefully it will go through the 3rd service OK.

Thanks all. 

Limited but good feedback.  Quality of the Compass looks very good. Better than my Vigo. Will decide what to do in a few days.
