About the Elddis KENSINGTON 196
The Elddis Kensington 196 is a prestigious special edition motorhome, building upon the popular Autoquest range with exclusive enhancements for the discerning traveller. Built on the reliable Peugeot Boxer chassis, this six-berth coachbuilt motorhome is an exceptional choice for larger families or groups who prioritise both daytime living space and nighttime comfort. Its masterfully designed layout features a dual-lounge configuration, consisting of a front dinette that doubles as a social hub and a signature large U-shaped rear lounge which offers panoramic views of your surroundings.
What truly sets the Kensington 196 apart are its bespoke 'Special Edition' upgrades, including enhanced premium upholstery, distinctive exterior graphics, and integrated technology designed to make life on the road effortless. The inclusion of an electric drop-down bed over the front lounge ensures that sleeping six adults is both practical and unobtrusive, while the Whale heating system keeps the cabin cosy throughout the British seasons.

Six-berth family motorhome with dual-lounge layout.
The Elddis Kensington 196 is a 7.34m coachbuilt motorhome built on a Peugeot Boxer chassis. It features a six-berth, six-belt configuration with a 3500kg MTPLM, making it driveable on a standard UK Category B licence. The layout is defined by its dual-lounge design, including a rear U-shaped lounge and a front dinette with an electric drop-down bed.
- Six-berth capacity with six dedicated travel seatbelts.
- Dual-lounge layout featuring a front dinette and rear U-shaped lounge.
- Electric drop-down double bed situated over the front lounge area.
- Whale 4kW dual-fuel space heating and high-capacity water heater.
- Kitchen equipped with a 3-burner hob, oven, and microwave.
- Sky-view panoramic opening sunroof with integrated blind.
Worth knowing: The 560kg payload may be restrictive when travelling with six adults and full water tanks. A longer rear overhang requires careful navigation on steep inclines or in tight spaces. The washroom is compact, which may feel constrained at full occupancy.
Buying a Kensington 196: What you need to know.
Who it suits
- • Large families requiring six belted seats and six berths.
- • Drivers limited to a standard UK Category B licence who need a high-capacity vehicle.
- • Groups who prefer separate daytime living zones for adults and children.
Reasons to consider it
- • It offers a high specification compared to the standard Autoquest donor model.
- • The 3500kg MTPLM avoids the need for a C1 licence.
- • The dual-lounge configuration provides significant daytime relaxation space.
What to check
- • Test the operation of the electric drop-down bed mechanism.
- • Inspect the condition of the exclusive Kensington premium upholstery.
- • Check the service history of the Whale 4kW heating system.
- • Verify the integrity of the panoramic sunroof seals and flyscreen.
Worth knowing: Confirm the specific upholstery and graphics package as these are exclusive to the Kensington special edition. Verify the remaining payload after accounting for all passengers and essential equipment.
Compare the Elddis KENSINGTON 196 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elddis KENSINGTON 196 | 6 | 3500 kg | 7.34 m | £48,000 to £72,000 |
| Elddis Signature 196 | 6 | 3500 kg | 7.34 m | £48,000 to £72,000 |
| Elddis Evolution 196 140BHP | 6 | 3500 kg | 7.34 m | £52,000 to £78,000 |
The Elddis Kensington 196 occupies a specific niche for large families, offering a full six-berth capacity within a 3500kg MTPLM. While alternatives like the Adria Coral or Benimar Tessoro offer similar berth counts and weights, the Kensington 196 is distinguished by its dual-lounge layout and specific special edition upgrades. Its 7.34m length is consistent with other Elddis 196 variants, such as the Signature and Evolution, though the Kensington trim provides unique aesthetic and equipment enhancements. Potential buyers must balance the high berth count against the 560kg payload, which is a common consideration in this weight class.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Maximising your Kensington 196 ownership.
- Utilise the dual-lounge layout to create separate zones for different activities during inclement weather.
- Monitor water tank levels to preserve payload for passenger luggage.
- Ensure the electric drop-down bed is fully secured before transit.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overloading the vehicle beyond the 560kg payload limit when carrying six passengers.
- • Miscalculating the 7.34m length when reversing in confined areas.
Worth knowing: Payload management is critical when utilising all six berths.
