Chausson Flash 10

roomy one-box design in a small footprint.

large washroom and shower.

reasonably sized drop down double.

storage, generally good for a small van.

don't know about overall quality of this model, Chausson interiors dont do it for me, although ive had a look at quite a few and the build in general is OK for the price, remember, these are at the budget end of the market.

some Chausson owners will be along to give more, im sure.

depending on your budget, a direct alternative might be the Pilote 600 LA in low profile or even as an A-class with double floor. a used A-class would be a lot of van for the money, and id take it over the Chausson.

Thank you very much, will have a look at the recommendations.

For any possible other alternatives, I'm looking specifically for something under 6m, 4 berth.  Thanks

a shade under 6m, and a used van with just over 1000 miles...save between £10k-£15....

Just coming to the end of our first season with a Chausson 610 and we are seriously impressed.  Superbly comfortable mattress on the drop down, better build than any of our caravans.  Hasn't had to go back for any warranty issues, although it was due to go in with a noisy Dometic sunroof until I fixed it.  Some protective film had been left around the lip of the sunroof, which produced a harmonic at certain wind speeds!  Would we have another Chausson?  At the moment yes

Thank you, appreciate the feedback.

We bought an  Flash 06 new on a 10 plate and kept in for over 3 years. I would have definitely have bought a second one had they done the layout we wanted. We had no problems with it apart from the bottom edge of the habitation door rusting after 18 months. It was changed without any trouble.

It was a good value, comfortable van that served us well.  Good luck with your purchase.

Are the ones on a Ford Transit chassis/engine reliable?

We too bought exactly the same as above new on same plate and had it for 5 years....it was comfortable with loads of storage and easy to get about in. Ours was on a Ducato and again had no problems in fact the one we have just upgraded too is also a Ducato being so pleased with it. We found the Chausson had everything you need to hand our main gripe was that the heating controls were on the floor under the bed which were ( for us anyway ) a nuisance to use and see properly.....have noticed recently a lot more Chaussons on sites too so a lot more out there than when we got ours.

Write your comments here...I would hazard a guess that if the Ford has a 2.2 engine its the same as  fitted to Peugots
