Vehicle Description

The Pilote P696D is one of Pilote's most popular low-profile motorhomes, designed for couples who want a spacious interior in a vehicle that remains under 7 metres long. It has an open-plan layout that makes it feel much larger than its dimensions suggest.

Key specifications

• Length: 6.99 m
• Width: 2.30 m
• MTPLM: 3,500 kg (can be driven on a standard UK licence if obtained before the 3,500 kg limit changes apply)
• Travel seats: 4
• Berths: 4 (electric drop-down double bed plus lounge conversion)
• Base vehicle: Fiat Ducato
• Engine: 2.2-litre 140 bhp diesel (earlier models use the 2.3-litre Multijet)
• Transmission: Manual or 9-speed automatic, depending on specification and year.

Layout

The P696D features:

• Large face-to-face front lounge
• Electrically operated drop-down double bed over the lounge
• Central kitchen
• Full-width rear washroom with separate shower
• Large dressing area
• Walk-through rear garage accessible from inside

This layout is particularly popular with couples because there is no fixed rear bed taking up space during the day.

Standard equipment (varies by trim)

Depending on whether it's an Essentiel, Expression, Sensation or Evidence model, equipment can include:

• Truma Combi heating (gas or Combi 6E)
• Large compressor fridge (around 153 litres)
• Three-burner hob
• Oven/grill on many UK models
• Solar panel
• Reversing camera
• Cab blinds
• Alloy wheels
• Cruise control
• DAB/navigation system
• Awning

Advantages

• Spacious lounge for a sub-7m motorhome.
• Excellent rear washroom and dressing room.
• Large garage with impressive storage.
• Good insulation and solid build quality.
• Comfortable for long European tours.

Things to check when buying used

• Damp around roof lights, rear corners and garage floor.
• Operation of the electric drop-down bed.
• Water ingress around service hatches.
• Fridge performance (particularly compressor models).
• Habitation service history.
• Timing of cambelt/service (2.3 engines) or scheduled servicing on the 2.2 engine.
• Operation of all habitation electrics and heating.

Overall, the Pilote P696D is regarded as one of the best low-profile motorhomes for two people who occasionally travel with guests. Its combination of a huge lounge, rear dressing room and generous garage is difficult to match in a vehicle under 7 metres.

The mileage on this vehicle was correct at the time of valuation, however the vehicle remains in use by the Seller until the point it is sold, therefore the mileage at the time of sale may be higher than that advertised.
