When you’re looking for a motorhome that combines practical dimensions with generous living space, the 2015 Elddis Autoquest 175 deserves your attention. This two-berth motorhome offers remarkable flexibility with its convertible sleeping arrangements, allowing you to choose between twin single beds or one large double bed depending on your preference.
Autoquest 175 Dimensions and Payload
You’ll appreciate the thoughtful dimensions of the Autoquest 175. The 7.2-metre length provides ample interior space without making the vehicle difficult to manoeuvre. At 2.2 metres wide, it’s narrower than some competitors, giving you more confidence when navigating tight spaces or parking.
The 3,500kg gross vehicle weight is a significant advantage, as it means you won’t need a special licence to drive it. Even more impressive is the generous payload capacity of around 652kg, giving you plenty of allowance for your personal belongings, provisions, and equipment.
External features enhance the practicality of this motorhome. You’ll benefit from the Fiamma F45S awning for outdoor shade, a rear storage box for additional storage, and twin reversing cameras to make parking significantly easier. The water filler, cassette toilet access, and various vents are conveniently positioned on the driver’s side.
How Does The Peugeot Boxer Drive?
When you take the wheel of the Autoquest 175, you’ll be in command of a Peugeot Boxer 2.2 HDI engine delivering 130bhp. This provides sufficient power for confident motorway cruising and tackling hills with ease.
The six-speed manual gearbox offers good flexibility across different driving conditions. You’ll find the cab well-equipped with features that make longer journeys more comfortable: cruise control for motorway stretches, Bluetooth connectivity for your devices, and steering wheel controls for safer operation while driving.
Cab air conditioning keeps you comfortable in warmer weather, while the reversing camera system makes manoeuvring this 7.2-metre vehicle considerably less stressful. The inclusion of cab blinds (sometimes missing on more basic models) adds privacy when parked up. Driver and passenger airbags, electric windows, and electric mirrors complete the comprehensive driving package.
Twin Singles or One Giant Double?
You’ll find the living area of the Autoquest 175 particularly well-designed. The front lounge features two exceptionally long bench seats that serve multiple purposes. During the day, they provide comfortable seating, while at night, they can be used as two single beds or converted into one very large double bed.
Storage is abundant throughout the living space. You’ll have access to overhead lockers above the seating area and additional storage compartments beneath the bench seats. The cab area also features more storage space above, maximising every available inch.
The overall layout feels spacious and uncluttered, with a logical flow between different areas of the motorhome. When you’re relaxing in the evening, you’ll appreciate the TV point with 12-volt socket and aerial connection, allowing you to enjoy entertainment after a day of exploring.
Flexible Sleeping Arrangements
When bedtime arrives, you have options in the Autoquest 175. You can use the two long bench seats as single beds, and they truly are generously sized, offering plenty of length even for taller individuals. Alternatively, you can convert the space into one exceptionally large double bed.
This flexibility is particularly valuable if you occasionally travel with a guest or simply prefer different sleeping arrangements depending on the weather or location. The conversion process is straightforward, allowing you to quickly transform the living area into your sleeping quarters.
Kitchen Layout and Equipment
You’ll find the kitchen area well-equipped for preparing meals on the road. The three-burner hob gives you plenty of cooking options, while the combination oven and grill handles everything from toast to more elaborate baked dishes.
The kitchen includes a sink for washing up and food preparation. Surrounding storage cupboards and overhead lockers provide ample space for your provisions, cookware, and utensils. The kitchen’s position within the motorhome creates a practical workflow without impeding movement through the vehicle.
Across from the kitchen, you’ll find the fridge, conveniently positioned to access while cooking. The Whale heating controls are also within easy reach, allowing you to adjust the temperature throughout the motorhome.
The Standout Spacious End Bathroom
The end bathroom is undoubtedly one of the standout features of the Autoquest 175. When you step into this space, you’ll immediately notice how spacious it is compared to bathrooms in many comparable motorhomes.
You’ll find a well-appointed bathroom with a sink, storage areas, and a cassette toilet. The separate shower compartment is a particular highlight, offering a more home-like showering experience than the wet-room style bathrooms common in many motorhomes.
Perhaps most impressive is the full-length wardrobe that extends into the corner of the bathroom area (probably the biggest motorhome wardrobe of this class nowadays!), giving you exceptional storage for clothes and other items that need hanging space.
Whale Heating and Electrical Systems
The Autoquest 175 features Whale heating controls, allowing you to maintain a comfortable temperature throughout the vehicle. The electrical system includes 12-volt sockets for powering devices, and the TV point comes with an aerial connection.
The presence of these systems indicates a well-thought-out approach to meeting your essential needs while travelling.
Exceptional Storage Including Full Wardrobe
You’ll be impressed by the storage capacity throughout the Autoquest 175. Beyond the already-mentioned wardrobe (which truly is exceptional for a motorhome of this class), you’ll find storage compartments above and below the seating areas, additional storage above the cab, and various cupboards and lockers in the kitchen area.
The external “back box” provides additional storage for items you may not want to keep inside the motorhome, such as outdoor equipment or muddy boots.
Perfect For Couples Who Want Flexibility
The Autoquest 175 is particularly well-suited to couples who want flexibility in their sleeping arrangements and appreciate a spacious bathroom. The generous payload capacity makes it suitable for longer trips where you need to carry more supplies and personal items.
With its comprehensive kitchen facilities, you’ll find this motorhome well-equipped for self-catering, reducing your dependence on campsite facilities or restaurants. The spacious end bathroom with separate shower similarly enhances your independence while travelling.
The vehicle’s dimensions make it manageable for most drivers while still providing a comfortable living space, striking a balance that works well for touring holidays where you’ll be moving between different locations rather than staying in one place for extended periods.
