ELDDIS ODYSSEY 482 K (2009)
This comfortable, reliable two-berth is a great first-time buy, says Andrew Jenkinson
ELDDIS HAS BEEN popular for years. Owned by ABI Caravans until the late 1980s, it is now part of the Erwin Hymer Group, which in turn is owned by US RV firm Thor Industries.
Over the years, the brand has seen quite a few changes – the main one being the advent of the SoLiD construction system.
The Odyssey range, launched in 2002, was designed to slot in between the Avanté and the Crusader. It came with a good spec, providing a hint of luxury
at an affordable price. Although successful, by 2012, the Odyssey had reached its final year of production; in 2013, it was replaced by the Affinity, also aimed at mid-market buyers.
