The Elddis Autoquest 196 is a competitive option in the six-berth market, particularly for those restricted to a 3500kg licence. While alternatives like the Adria Coral or Swift Escape 674 offer similar berth counts on the same weight chassis, the Autoquest 196 distinguishes itself with its specific 7.33m length and 450kg payload. It balances internal volume with a manageable MTPLM, though buyers should compare the specific lounge configurations and kitchen equipment levels across these similar models.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance
- Utilise the 450kg payload carefully by distributing heavy items over the axles.
- Regularly check the seals around the washroom and kitchen facilities.

- Exceeding the 450kg payload by carrying six adults and full water tanks simultaneously.
- Forgetting to secure the drop-down bed area before transit.
Worth knowing: Manoeuvring a 7.33m vehicle requires awareness of rear swing and height clearances.
