Is the Elddis Whirlwind GT 196 the right six-berth motorhome?
The Elddis Whirlwind GT 196 is a versatile six-berth motorhome designed for families, featuring six belted travel seats and a dual-lounge layout. Built on a Peugeot Boxer chassis with SoLiD construction, it offers a 7.34m length and a 3500kg MTPLM, making it accessible for standard UK driving licences while providing separate social zones.
- Six-berth capacity with six dedicated travel seats for large groups.
- Dual-lounge configuration featuring a front dinette and rear U-shaped lounge.
- Electric drop-down bed located over the front dinette area.
- Built using the SoLiD structural bonded construction method.
- Whale 4kW dual-fuel heating system and sky-view panoramic sunroof.
Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM requires careful payload management when all six berths are occupied. A length of 7.34m may prove challenging for standard parking spaces. Water and waste tank capacities may be stretched when used by six people.
Buying an Elddis Whirlwind GT 196
Who it suits
- • Large families requiring six belted seats and six berths.
- • Tourers who prefer separate living zones for children and adults.
- • Drivers limited to a 3500kg MTPLM licence who need maximum occupancy.
Reasons to consider it
- • It provides a high passenger capacity without exceeding the 3500kg weight limit.
- • The rear U-lounge offers a dedicated social space away from the main dinette.
- • Modern interior features like the panoramic sunroof and 3-burner hob.
What to check
- • Verify the operation of the electric drop-down bed mechanism.
- • Confirm the condition of the SoLiD structural bonding and seals.
- • Test the Whale 4kW heating system on both gas and electric sources.
- • Inspect the upholstery and cabinetry for wear in high-traffic lounge areas.
Worth knowing: The 558kg payload must account for all six passengers and their belongings. Check the specific engine output as specifications can vary by model year.

| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elddis Whirlwind GT 196 | 6 | 3500 kg | 7.34 m | £42,000 to £68,500 |
| Elddis Majestic | 6 | 3500 kg | 7.41 m | £38,000 to £85,000 |
| Benimar Tessoro | 6 | 3500 kg | 7.42 m | £45,000 to £85,000 |
The Elddis Whirlwind GT 196 sits in a competitive segment of 3500kg six-berth motorhomes. While it shares its 7.34m footprint and Peugeot-based foundations with siblings like the Evolution 196 and Signature 196, it offers a distinct price point between 42000 and 68500. It maintains a similar length to the RIMOR Seal but utilizes a different construction method and internal lounge configuration. Choosing between these models often depends on the preferred interior finish and specific dealer equipment levels.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Monitor the 558kg payload carefully when fitting optional extras like bike racks.
- Utilise the dual-lounge layout to manage internal traffic in a full six-person household.
- Regularly check the 2.82m height clearance before entering restricted areas.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Exceeding the 3500kg MTPLM by over-loading the 558kg payload with heavy accessories.
- • Miscalculating the 7.34m length when navigating tight campsites or urban streets.
Worth knowing: Payload is consumed quickly when travelling with a full capacity of six people.
