We're just over a year since we got our Elddis CV20 Classique Campervan from Cleveland Motorhomes, near Darlington.
We have an honest review of the Elddis CV20 which is the same in principal as the Compass CV20. Ours is a dealer special so contains some extras that the base model doesn't come with as standard. A number of extras we have fitted over and above what is supplied as standard.
Find out what we think of the van, what we love and what we would like to improve. Was it the right choice for us? What mods have we made? Have they made a difference? Would we buy one again if we could turn the clock back?

Great video David & Rachel. Many useful modifications for owners of the CV range and other vehicles. Have to agree that the washroom is one of the weak points of the vehicle, but not a reason to not purchase one. Off to purchase a 4k dash cam now that doubles up for driving footage.

Hi David and Rachael,great review of your van ,one year on. Our CV20, our third motorhome/camper van is by far the best we have had. We did have to check exactly what we really needed to carry, so a lot now sits in the garage . We bought a utility tent for longer trips away to put chairs in etc, also packing cubes are great for clothes storage and dirty washing ,happy 23 camping

Hi David, just going thru you " year on " vid.On the tyre pressure sensor nut, just a dollop of grease or copperplate.The fault appears to be the " plating" on the insides of the lockouts " growing"/ oxidising. You are aware of our issues with our mk8, BUT like you and Rachel we believe for 2 people is the CV20 is best compromise for the least £. Reflecting back and forward IF we had realised what was happening over the last 2 year's we could have realised a similar Adria, BUT going forward it is a HUGE difference now to go to the " bit higher" quality. But unless an owner has had to pay near to £60,000 we in reality have a fair bargain. All better when we have subtle and not so subtle(your on board substation) mods as suggested by yourself these add to the usefulness AND you get to know the van VERY intimately. My current " upgrade"( in my head is to remove one complete bedframe( nearside) and make a lightweight fold up replacement- this is to place my full size e-bike, by co-incidence the bike is 190cm long, the space rear door to flip up shelf is 195cm. This is for my solo trips with bike Brilliant honest and very useful review Thank you David and Rachael

Thanks Roger. On the tyrepal - you’re right on the oxidation as I could see it when removed and great suggestion. Very interesting on the foldable bed frame - great idea to give a temporary garage when travelling- I saw some Murphy beds and they looked clever. Good luck with that mod, look forward to seeing it. Thanks again, all the best, David & Rachel 👍

Hi Guys! Firstly, great video for giving insight into the van. We are looking for our first van at the moment so looking at all sorts of layouts etc… Would you be able to tell us how you go about making sure your dog is safe and secure without a third belted seat please? This is our main stumbling block as most layouts that suit us for when parked up aren’t suitable for making sure our dog is safe while travelling, including this one - it looks impossible to travel safely with the dog, but would be ideal when parked up. Cheers!
@LeisureBit
@LeisureBit 3 ай бұрын
Thank you - it's a real tough one on layouts as some you think will work but in practice aren't practical for a particular purpose. Ref the dog, two points I use for securing, originally to the frame under the front seat, but now to the back as she goes on her bed at the back of the van and happier there. Depending on the size of the dog and how you want to do it, it does need careful throught though. sorting the table solution freed up the space at the rear without the risk of things flying forward to where the dog would be so happy with the solution now. Hope that helps/makes sense, All the best, David 👍

Hi David and Rachael. Really enjoyed your video. My only question is how do you store items such as a table and chairs to use outside, ramps, barbecue, cables and pipe etc. We bought our camper van in 2021 and finished up having to buy a European van simply because of the storeage it provided under the fixed rear bed.
@LeisureBit
@LeisureBit Жыл бұрын
Hi David, thank you for your comment and question, appreciated. There’s a reasonable amount of space under the passenger side (sliding door side) under the bench which you can fit a couple of folding chairs, a small table (folding) and I put the Cadac bbq in the space with the little vacuum cleaner. You do need to be careful as you soon run out of room - at the moment the chairs and bbq are in the garage but will go back in the van in March. You definitely get more storage in coachbuilt or larger vans - all the best, David & Rachel 👍

Thank you - when I first got the van there was the USBs in the cab area but none in the rear however Cleveland had offered to fit some for free but at that time they didn’t come with the van (based on 2020 order) I believe they might on some models and new ones. I decided I would fit my own ones as wanted the light dimming feature too as the original lights were just on and off and they came with handy USB. They worked well but then I needed more power so hence upgrading to the additional ones. On the modesty blocks, which were you meaning (sorry I can’t quite remember but will check) Thanks again, all the best, David 👍

Good afternoon - hopefully not long until you get your van now - you’re right it’s great if you can minimise the mods - all be it I had decided to get the CV and to mod so all good (most of them rather than any “fixes”. Ref the camper control - not as quickly as I would have liked as making sure I have some stuff which would add value - I’m starting to get onto those things over the next couple of months which then add additional capability not available as standard or messy to do other ways and to replace any temporary solutions - hope to see that making a show soon - just waiting for the weather to pick up as some underneath jobs to do and I’m becoming a wimp or favouring going away rather than working on the van on a weekend lol.

Thanks David & Rachel for a very helpful video. On the strength of it, we have traded our current campervan for a used Elddis Signature CV20, which we will pick up in a week’s time. We were impressed by the free standing small table you made for the lounge area. We found the components on the ‘Chippy’s Workshop’ website you mentioned but there is a choice of leg lengths. What is the height of the table top above the floor and what is its diameter (400?). Also what is the height of the table at the front above the floor? Does a single setting of this table suit both the passenger and driver’s seats for laptop use or do you have to move it. (I ask because I am thinking of fixing the detachable table leg direct to the floor rather than using your impressive fold away system and wondered whether it would be better to have separate base fixings for each seat to optimise the table position for each chair.)

Hi Guys, I see you were contemplating the CV60 & eventually decided on the CV20 which is where I am atm, do you know if the benches/bed are the same length front to back on both models. I really like the front on the CV60 but feel the benches/bed is better on the CV20 Thanks Jeff
@LeisureBit
@LeisureBit 5 ай бұрын
Hi Jeff, Great question, as you know, the bed is quite different in the CV60 compared to the bench seats in the CV20, without specifically measuring, I found the bed size laying out about the same - however, if you're thinking of the CV60, worth going and having a sit in it, if you are using it mostly on your own vs if using with someone else, what swung it for us was going to have a sit in one - it's all personal preference, but we like laying out 'lounging' so the CV20 worked out more perfect for us than the CV60 but if you prefer sitting you can use the cab seats in the front. Worth having a sit in and take your time. All the very best, David & Rachel 👍

Im seriously considering the CV20 as it seems a good layout for me but have a few questions as I havent seen one in person. Im 6 foot 2 inches tall & would need the seat as far back as it can go is this possible with the cupboard behind the seat? I would leave one of the benches made up as a bed and use the other for lounging (Im single) how long are the benches and how wide can 1 bed be made up and still allow a walkway inbetween the benches?
@LeisureBit
@LeisureBit Жыл бұрын
I had originally dismissed the Cv20 but it’s ended up being ideal for us. Regarding the drivers seat, I’m 6ft5 ish and manage ok, all be it the heads up display has been brilliant to see what speed you’re doing. I find it fine and if goes back most of the way but depends on how far you recline the seat. I would definitely recommend trying it and maybe even a test drive to make sure. The bed setup when on your own is great, when Rachel isn’t with me it’s really simple to make up and you can still get by with one side pulled out, plus you can stack the cushions at the other side, no worries at all. Hope that helps, All the best. David 👍

Hi Glyn, we had a 7.5m Bessacarr Motorhome previously and we have really noticed the difference, especially with the width but the length of the van also makes a difference when parking and tucking into passing places etc. The speed display at the front is really helpful, especially if you’re tall (and only about £30/easy to fit too!) We’ve been really pleased ‘downsizing’ to 6m van rather than coachbuilt and honestly haven’t regretted it at all. All the best, David & Rachel 👍

Guys…how did you come up with the channel name? Thanks

We came up with a short list from a few sources and ideas and LeisureBit wasn’t taken on social platforms in active use and the domain was available- it was our preference from a short list we created. At the time I wasn’t sure where the channel or LeisureBit would go (still don’t lol) hence the wide scope. Hope that makes sense, all the best, David & Rachel 👍

Love all these sites but I really find the constant switching of camera really off putting, otherwise great info

I have to ask. If you have only one top cupboard each for clothes etc and you have filled your wardrobe with food, do you wear the same clothes all holiday? I only ask, because my wife could fill all top cupboards and the wardrobe with her clothes and shoes.

Haha, if we’re away for a while things need folding carefully and it spills across into other cupboards - for under a week can fit in ok in the locker as more space than you think if you roll / fold right. But we do overspill at times. We also do washing on some sites on longer trips to save needing to carry a whole load of stuff. Sounds like an RV may be needed lol :) All the best, David & Rachel 👍
