Is the Elddis Autoquest 185 a practical choice for couples?
The Elddis Autoquest 185 is a 7.34m low-profile motorhome specifically designed for couples or small families who prioritise permanent sleeping arrangements. Its primary appeal lies in the twin fixed single beds and a full-width rear washroom, combined with a 3500kg chassis that avoids the need for a C1 driving licence.
- Twin fixed rear single beds and a front parallel lounge.
- Full-width rear washroom with a dedicated shower cubicle.
- 3500kg MTPLM allows for driving on a standard UK Category B licence.
- Built using Elddis SoLiD (Strong, Light and Dry) construction technology.
- Whale underfloor heating and hot water system for interior space efficiency.
Worth knowing: The 130-140bhp engine may feel underpowered when the 556kg payload is fully utilised on inclines. External storage is more restricted than models featuring a rear garage.
Buying an Elddis Autoquest 185
Who it suits
- • Couples who prefer separate fixed beds rather than converting lounges every night.
- • Drivers limited to a standard UK B licence who still require a 7.3m+ vehicle.
- • Tourers who value a large, private rear washroom over external garage storage.
Reasons to consider it
- • The 556kg payload is generous for a sub-3.5 tonne motorhome of this length.
- • The low-profile design and 2.82m height offer a more aerodynamic profile than over-cab models.
- • Strong resale demand due to the popularity of the twin-single-bed layout in the UK market.
What to check
- • Verify the specific engine output, as performance varies when the vehicle is at its 3500kg limit.
- • Inspect the SoLiD construction seals and service history for damp proofing peace of mind.
- • Confirm the operation of the Whale underfloor heating system.
- • Check the condition of the front lounge cushions, which convert into the second double bed.
Worth knowing: Payload capacity of 556kg must account for all passengers, water, and optional extras like awnings or bike racks. The 2.2m width is relatively standard for a coachbuilt, but requires care on narrow rural routes.
Compare the Elddis Autoquest 185 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elddis Autoquest 185 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.34 m | £38,000 to £72,000 |
| Elddis Majestic 185 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.35 m | £38,000 to £55,000 |
| Elddis Chatsworth 554 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.41 m | £42,000 to £68,000 |
The Elddis Autoquest 185 occupies a competitive position in the UK market, balancing a 7.34m length with a licence-friendly 3500kg MTPLM. While alternatives like the Auto-Trail Imala 736 or the Elddis Majestic 185 offer similar 4-berth capacities, the Autoquest 185 is distinguished by its specific twin-bed rear layout and SoLiD construction. It prioritises internal living space and washroom size over the external garage storage found in some European competitors.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 556kg payload carefully to maintain stability on the 7.34m frame.
- Regularly check the underfloor Whale heating vents for obstructions to ensure efficient climate control.
- Monitor the 2.2m width when navigating tight campsites or narrow B-roads.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overloading the rear of the vehicle, which can affect the handling of this 7.34m chassis.
- • Assuming all 185 models have identical engine maps; check if it is the 130bhp or 140bhp variant.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact MTPLM on the weight plate, as some used examples may have been uprated.
Alternatives to the Elddis Autoquest 185
The Majestic 185 is a dealer-special version of this layout, often featuring upgraded equipment levels while maintaining the 3500kg MTPLM.
Elddis Chatsworth 554For those seeking a similar 4-berth capacity and 3500kg weight limit but with a slightly longer 7.41m body, the Chatsworth 554 is a viable alternative.
