    Twin Fixed Singles Motorhomes

    Last updated: 08 August 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    A flagship automatic motorhome for couples.

    The Elddis Encore 285 140BHP Auto is a 7.41-metre motorhome built on a Fiat Ducato chassis, featuring a 9-speed automatic gearbox and a 3500kg MTPLM. It is designed with a twin fixed single bed layout and a full-width rear washroom, offering between two and four berths. With a payload of 385kg and Alde central heating, it serves as a refined option for year-round touring.

    • Twin fixed single beds with Hypnos mattresses and a full-width rear ensuite washroom.
    • Fiat 140BHP MultiJet 3 Euro 6D Final engine with a 9-speed automatic transmission.
    • Alde 24-hour central heating system and SoLiD construction technology.
    • Front parallel lounge that converts into additional sleeping space.

    Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM requires careful payload management when travelling with four people. A length of 7.41 metres may prove difficult to park in standard parking spaces.

    Buying an Elddis Encore 285 140BHP Auto

    Who it suits

    • • Couples who prefer the convenience of fixed twin beds and a large rear washroom.
    • • Drivers seeking a stress-free experience via the Fiat automatic gearbox.
    • • Tourists planning winter trips who require the Alde central heating system.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • The 140BHP engine and automatic gearbox provide a smooth driving experience for long distances.
    • • SoLiD construction and StrongLite cabinetry offer durability for frequent use.
    • • The front parallel lounge provides a sociable living area with a sky-view sunroof.

    What to check

    • • Confirm the specific payload remaining after any dealer-fitted accessories.
    • • Verify the operation of the Alde 24-hour central heating system.
    • • Inspect the condition of the Hypnos mattresses in the twin bed area.
    • • Check the functionality of the 9-speed automatic transmission during a test drive.

    Worth knowing: The 385kg payload must accommodate all passengers, water, and personal belongings. Price ranges vary between 58000 and 82000 depending on the specific unit and condition.

    Compare the Elddis Encore 285 140BHP Auto with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Elddis Encore 285 140BHP Auto43500 kg7.41 m£58,000 to £82,000
    Elddis Evolution 185 140BHP43500 kg7.41 m£58,000 to £82,000
    Bailey Adamo 75-4i 170BHP Auto43500 kg7.48 m£58,000 to £79,500

    The Elddis Encore 285 140BHP Auto sits in a competitive price bracket between 58000 and 82000. While it shares the 3500kg MTPLM and 7.41m length of the Elddis Evolution 185, it distinguishes itself with the Encore flagship specification. Compared to the Auto-Trail F-Line F70, the Encore is longer but offers the specific Alde heating system, whereas the Bailey Adamo 75 4t provides a slightly longer alternative on a similar weight chassis. The choice between these models often rests on the preference for specific interior heating systems and bed configurations.

    Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

    Ownership and Maintenance Tips

    • Utilise the external lockers to distribute the 385kg payload evenly across the chassis.
    • Make use of the 24-hour Alde heating timer to maintain a consistent temperature during winter storage.
    • Regularly inspect the SoLiD construction seals as part of the annual service schedule.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Overloading the 385kg payload when four people are occupying the berths.
    • • Neglecting to account for the 7.41-metre length when planning routes through narrow lanes.

    Worth knowing: Ensure the vehicle is weighed if adding heavy equipment to avoid exceeding the 3500kg limit.
