Erwin Hymer Group UK has opened an all-new pre-delivery inspection centre as part of ongoing improvements to its factory at Consett in County Durham.
All caravans and motorhomes built at the factory, under the brands Elddis, Compass, Explore and Buccaneer, will undergo quality control checks in the brand-new facility, with a final inspection prior to dispatch to dealers.

Chris Short joined as the
Erwin Hymer Group UK’s new managing director this summer. He said: “Investment in our people and processes are critical to our success moving forward. This latest investment in the PDI Centre shows the support we have from Erwin Hymer Group in our strategy to enhance our product quality and ultimately increase capacity.”
Also revealed were new models from the group’s 2023 season line-up, starring new layouts in the luxury Elddis Crusader and Compass Camino touring caravan ranges. The Crusader Tempest and the Camino 668 feature the same rear bedroom layout, with a fixed double bed alongside bunk beds. Both ranges now follow the exterior styling introduced to Buccaneer last season, with 8ft wide caravan bodies and a more rounded front panel.
The Compass Camino 668
In the motorhome line up, the Elddis Autoquest 115 and Compass Avantgarde 115 are based on a new Peugeot Boxer chassis, with a gross vehicle weight of 3,500kg.
