Full review

Recent years have seen many motorhomes growing in size; you can even get a Mercedes campervan stretching to 7m long. So it’s great to see a small number of coachbuilt motorhomes bucking the trend, like this Elddis Accordo.

OK, so it’s not as tiny at the 5.45m-long Hymer Van 314, but, at under 6m, and with virtually van conversion width, it is one of the smallest coachbuilts on the market.

Stepping inside, you appreciate Peugeot’s lower motorhome chassis, with no need for an external step. Instead, a recessed internal step does the job and won’t get covered with dirt whilst travelling. It’s a classic two-berth and the interior feel spacious, especially considering that narrower body. There’s a lounge at the front that incorporates the swivelling cab seats, while the kitchen sits centrally and the washroom is at the rear.

The interior décor is simple and reflects 2018 tastes with plain beige seat fabrics, darker brown accent cushions and a light oak woodwork with mushroom accent strips. This, along with the Heki above the lounge and the skylight above the cab, makes for a very light and airy interior. The layout is not new but it has been tweaked for 2018, with a new washroom design.

The whole of the rear is taken up by the ablutions. Using the domestic-style handle to open the door, you are faced with a spacious area that houses the toilet, basin and separate shower. The Thetford swivel cassette loo sits on a shallow plinth on the left, while the modern, countertop basin is located on the rear wall with a cupboard below and large mirror above. A shower cubicle is on the right but, unfortunately, the wardrobe is outside the bathroom, opposite the kitchen. It doesn’t have positively latched doors, either.

The kitchen is pretty well equipped. The cooker has three burners, one of which is a larger, high-speed unit. The sink sits adjacent and, although it doesn’t have a built in draining board, there is plenty of worktop for a removable one. Below are a 95-litre fridge with removable freezer unit and the combined oven/grill. Storage space consists of a tall locker and a smaller space under the oven. Above you’ll find two lockers that hold crockery racks and shelves and there’s a further set of drawer between wardrobe and habitation door. This is also where you’ll find the well-placed TV point.

There is a step up to the lounge, allowing the sofas to sit at the same height as the cab seats. The sofa’s base and backrest cushions are firm and flat with only a small kneeroll at the front. This is important as these cushions make the double bed base; simply pull the seat bases together then drop the cushions in place.

There is limited storage under both seats, which is easy to access through drop-down doors or by lifting the seats. Whale provides the heating (4kW blown-air) and hot water (8 litres, underslung). A spare wheel and tyre also comes as standard in a carrier underneath the ’van. LED spotlights and ambient light provide night-time illumination.
