The Peugeot PLA Privilege 385 Motorhome

The Privilege PLA 385 is a surprisingly well specified four-berth low-profile,

Like all PLAs it’s built on a right-hand drive, six-speed manual, 130bhp, Peugeot Boxer chassis-cab with 3,500kg gross weight.

​

Extensive kit list aside, this is a 6.95m low-profile with a rear garage and twin single beds above. The interior layout holds few surprises but the finishing touches, such as the impressively large soft-close kitchen drawers and the shower tray’s solid cover (so you can stand to use the basin without fear of damaging the tray underneath) impress.

​

Up front, the cab’s chairs turn to face the half-dinette (with two seatbelts) with a removable table (with extension) and a side-facing single seat on the offside.

​

There is a large skylight above the cab, but the rest of the ceiling is obscured by the electric drop-down bed (1.95m by 1.01m). Above the dinette bench is the standard-fit TV. A single bed can also be made up from the lounge seating.

​

The central kitchen has a straight galley unit with Domestic three-burner gas hob and rectangular sink set into the worktop, which has a flip-up extension. Below are those huge drawers, while beside the sink is a 142-litre Thetford fridge/freezer with an oven/grill above. The latter would be too high except that the steps leading up to the beds are perfectly sited for lifting hot food from the oven.

​

Opposite is the all-in-one washroom, which incorporates a semi-separate shower, closed off with folding Perspex doors. There is a swivel cassette loo and a small oval basin with storage above and below.

​

Finally, at the rear, are the twin single beds (1.97m by 0.80m and 1.90m by 0.67m), which can be made into a large double using infill cushions. The beds are accessed by three large steps and access to the storage below is found at the side of the steps.

​

The garage beneath has twin access doors, with the largest (1.05m by 0.75m) being big enough to load bikes. There’s ample payload, too – just over half a tonne
