Erwin Hymer UK has confirmed it is dropping the Compass brand for the 2024 season.

Xplore, Buccaneer and Elddis are all continuing, with the models getting an exterior refresh, courtesy of fresh decals. The caravan manufacturer, who was exhibiting at The Great Holiday Home Show last week, said that many of the dealers who have previously sold Compass models will now have Xplore tourers on their forecourts, with some taking on Elddis models instead.

For the new season, models across the Xplore and Elddis brands will come with a Dometic Midi Heki, as well as new interior upholstery – in Xplore, this will be a Sonara scheme.

The Elddis Avante range will come with Jazz upholstery, while a ‘Hollywood’ bathroom mirror is now being included as an optional extra. In contrast, the Affinity models will include the mirror as standard, while its upholstery will be Opera.
