Caravan Clubs: The Compass Owners Club

Caravan Owners Clubs

The Compass Owners Club

The Compass Owners Club began its life when four Compass owners got together and with some assistance from the factory, they contacted other Compass Owners and in 1983 an Inaugural Rally was held at Witton Castle in County Durham on the May Bank Holiday weekend.

Over the years the number of rallies has increased to approximately 30 per year and at the end of 2007 the Club had successfully ran 772 events. Venues have been found throughout the the country – from the north of Scotland to the South Coast and Cornwall. These have been in delightful areas which have catered for the many interests of our members. There have also been a number of successful holiday rallies. The Club has also held a number of rallies in France, Holland and Eire.

The rallies, on average, attract about twenty vans, and this leads to a friendly atmosphere on site. Each rally is organised and run by members, although help is always at hand from other members and members of the committee.

Hi Dave,

Do a search for “caravan salvage” on Google and get on the phone to caravan salvage yards in your area.

Hi Steve ,Exploding nearside tyres on a Corona —— sounds like the tyre is rubbing on something when in motion ? Weakened suspension on nearside perhaps ? Never had a problem with mine over many long trips .

Ray Richards 16 May 2011
Hi all, I have just bought a Compass Corona 524 (2005) and I’m having a problem with getting any of the electrics to work when the mains is not connected. I’m a first time caravan owner so forgive my ignorance, but I was under the impression that you could power lights etc without needing to be connected to the mains. I have a leisure battery fitted, and the battery light is green on the control panel, but whether I have the main 12v switch set to ‘I’ or ‘O’ nothing works without the mains lead connected to the van. The battery charger is on, and everything works fine when on mains power. This morning I tested the battery and it was only reading 8V so I have had the charger running all day to recharge it. If there is anyone able to help, I would be most grateful. Many thanks Ian

John/Barb 7 November 2011
Hi

Does anyone on here own a Compass Echo 340/2?

We brought Betty from ebay and she’s a 1986 model that needs a little TLC. We have never owned a caravan before and have a couple of questions if anyone can help please?

We have the large table that forms part of the bed base but isnt long enough to fill the gap? Is there something missing that makes up that gap?

We also need a new front window as we werent told and didnt notice that the outer perspex had been smashed out so it is only single glazed. Any ideas where we would be able to find a replacement window for such an old girl or can the window be repaired?

Any advice would be very much appreciated – Angie
