For couples seeking a well-appointed motorhome with generous living space, the Elddis Majestic 175 presents an intriguing proposition. Built on the reliable Peugeot Boxer chassis, this two-berth offering combines practical features with thoughtful touches that could make it ideal for extended touring.
If you’re the sort who values a proper bathroom on tour (and who doesn’t after a muddy walk in the Peak District?), the 175’s generous rear facilities might just seal the deal. Let’s explore what this Elddis has to offer.
Behind the Wheel of the Majestic 175
The 2.2 HDI Peugeot Boxer engine paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox should provide plenty of grunt for British roads. You’ll find all the essential driving aids present, cruise control for those long motorway stretches, electric mirrors for tight manoeuvres, and a reversing camera that you’ll thank yourself for when backing into pitches.
The cab comes with air conditioning and electric windows, suggesting comfortable progress even on warm summer days. You’d likely find the driving position familiar if you’ve driven other Boxer-based motorhomes.
Living in the Elddis Majestic
The front lounge layout should prove particularly sociable, perfect for those evenings when you’re hosting fellow tourers for a cuppa. During the day, you’ll benefit from plenty of natural light, while the convertible beds mean you’re not constantly living around a fixed sleeping space.
The Majestic’s Kitchen Setup
When it comes to cooking, the Majestic 175 doesn’t skimp on equipment. You’ve got a proper kitchen triangle with hob, grill, and oven, plus a microwave for quick heating. The Dometic fridge should offer ample space for a couple’s worth of provisions, though you might want to shop more frequently if you’re planning extended tours in warmer weather.
Generous Bathroom Arrangements
The rear bathroom is where the Majestic 175 really shows its cards. You’ll find a proper shower compartment, toilet, and sink, all with enough space to actually move about. This is the sort of setup that makes extended touring genuinely comfortable, rather than feeling like you’re camping in a box.
Sleeping in the Majestic
While the front lounge converts to your sleeping quarters, the beauty of a two-berth is that you won’t be compromising on bed size. You should find making up the bed straightforward enough, though as with any convertible arrangement, you’ll need to factor in the nightly ritual of transformation.
Storage Solutions
The wardrobe and various cupboards should provide adequate storage for two people’s kit. The addition of an awning means you can effectively double your living space in good weather, particularly handy if you’re planning longer stays at one site.
Systems and Practicalities
With all the essential services on board, you should find the Majestic 175 well-equipped for extended tours. The presence of a tow bar adds versatility, perhaps for a small car if you’re planning longer stays, or for those who can’t travel without their bikes.

Final Thoughts
The Elddis Majestic 175 would suit couples who prioritise living space and bathroom comfort over additional berths. It’s particularly well-suited to those planning longer tours where the generous bathroom and practical kitchen will really prove their worth.
The combination of Peugeot reliability and comprehensive equipment levels makes this a sensible choice for both newcomers and experienced motorhomers. While the convertible bed arrangement might not suit everyone, the trade-off is a more spacious daytime living area.
Consider this model if you’re after a well-equipped two-berth that doesn’t feel like a compromise. Just be sure to check the bed setup suits your preferences; what seems fine for a weekend might feel different after a fortnight on tour.
