Is the Elddis Majestic 196 a practical family motorhome?
The Elddis Majestic 196 is a versatile six berth motorhome designed for larger groups, featuring six belted travel seats and a dual-lounge layout.

The Elddis Majestic 196 sits in a competitive segment of six berth motorhomes with a 3500kg MTPLM. While it shares its weight limit and berth count with several Auto-Trail and Benimar models, its specific 7.34 metre length and dual-lounge layout with an electric drop-down bed distinguish its interior utility. Buyers must weigh the benefit of its high standard equipment levels against the payload considerations inherent in a six-person vehicle of this weight class.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance
- Utilise the reverse camera when parking the 7.34 metre long chassis.
- Monitor battery levels when using the solar panel for off-grid stays.
- Plan for nightly bed conversion if using the rear lounge for sleeping.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 450kg payload by carrying six adults and full water tanks.
- Miscalculating clearance when manoeuvring the 2.82 metre high roofline.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact payload for your specific vehicle year and trim. Ensure the vehicle is level before operating the electric drop-down bed.
