• Genuinely flexible 6-berth layout: With a drop-down bed, full dinette and bench seats, it works for families who want separate spaces to sit, eat and sleep without constantly converting everything.
• Traveling for six without compromise: Six belts is a big plus many larger motorhomes don’t offer that, so this immediately appeals to bigger families or groups.
• Strong spec for real touring: Gaslow, solar, a reversing camera, tow bar, bike rack and cab A/C make it feel properly equipped rather than a bare-bones fleet model.

• Drop-down bed limits headroom: When it’s lowered, the lounge becomes more of a sleep-only zone — fine for nights, but worth noting.
• Not the lightest van to manoeuvre: It’s a long body with a full dinette layout, so tight sites and older campsites may require a steady hand.

The Avantgarde 196 has broad appeal proper six-berth, six-belt capability with a layout families understand immediately. It’s well-specced, modern inside, and easy to sell because it solves a real problem: finding a motorhome that can carry and sleep everyone comfortably. A solid, family-friendly option that fits naturally into the range.
