Story

Pros

  • It is built with good specification for its class: reviews of the related Compass / Elddis (Kensington/CV) models note features such as a “CompleteHeat” dual‑fuel heating system, quality cabinetry, and well‑appointed finishes.
  • Manageable size: The CV40 is part of a range that emphasises a “campervan/motorhome” style with a moderate footprint (for example in the CV range specs) which can make driving and parking easier than larger coach built models.
  • Good insulation and build features: The brochures highlight GRP underskins, quality worktops, positive‑locking overhead lockers, and dual‑fuel heating systems — all desirable for touring in various seasons.
  • Strong specification extras: For instance a listing for a Kensington CV40 mentions features like automatic 9‑speed transmission (in that example), solar panel, reversing camera, external BBQ point, bike rack etc — giving the vehicle good touring versatility.

Cons

  • Rarity / parts & support: According to registration data, only very few CV40 models are registered in the UK (just 6 up to now). This could mean parts, resale value or specific model‑experience may be less well established.
  • Layout/space compromises: Being a smaller/mid‑sized motorhome, space (especially living area, kitchen worktop, storage) might be a bit more limited compared with larger coachbuilt models — a trade‑off for easier manoeuvrability.
  • Payload and weight considerations: As with many compact motorhomes, one needs to check payload carefully (water, gas, luggage, passengers) — the brochure for earlier Compass models warns that although built to high spec, carrying capacity may be modest when fully loaded.
  • Build/quality consistency: While specification is strong, any motorhome buyer should check for build quality, seals, water ingress etc. The rarity of the CV40 may mean fewer used‑owner reviews to lean on.
  • Resale/availability: Because so few are registered, finding used examples may be harder, and resale value/demand less certain.
  • Manufacturer/model clarity: Because it’s a variant in a niche range (Kensington CV40), you’ll want to confirm exact layout, spec, year and any model‑specific updates (which may vary).
