The Explorer Group – other models: British touring caravans of the Elddis, Compass, Buccaneer and Xplore brands outside the named ranges, 0.89 to 1.8 t unladen weight, 2.05 to 2.46 m width
The Explorer Group Ltd., based in Consett in north-east England, builds touring caravans under the Elddis, Compass, Buccaneer and Xplore brands. This page gathers the models outside the named ranges: the Elddis Affinity, Avante and Crusader ranges, the Buccaneer Clipper, Cruiser and Cutter types, and the Xplore models. The numbers after the range name (such as Affinity 482, Avante 540) in British caravans usually reflect the interior layout length in the maker's own numbering, while suffixes such as SE or the model year mark further trim levels.

The register lists here 32 versions with unladen weights from 887 to 1,805 kg, gross vehicle weights from 1,165 to 2,000 kg, lengths from 6,050 to 8,050 mm and widths from 2,050 to 2,460 mm.
Elddis, Compass and Buccaneer are established British caravan brands competing directly there with Bailey and Swift; unlike on the European mainland, the British market favours single-axle and lighter twin-axle caravans on Al-Ko chassis that can be towed by smaller cars.
When buying used, damp in the roof, walls and floor matters above all (damp meter readings at the joints and around windows and roof hatches), the condition of the Al-Ko chassis and the overrun brake, tyre age, the function of the gas system and heating, and MOT-relevant points such as the jockey wheel and lighting. Body and furniture parts for the common ranges are available through specialist caravan suppliers.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
