|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auto-Trail Imala 736 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.37 m | £40,000 to £75,000 |
| Elnagh Baron 530 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.41 m | £42,000 to £68,000 |
| Elddis Autoquest 185 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.34 m | £38,000 to £72,000 |
The Auto-Trail Imala 736 occupies a competitive position in the 7.3m to 7.4m motorhome class. While the Elddis Autoquest 185 and Majestic 185 offer similar 4-berth capacities at a slightly lower entry price, the Imala 736 is often cited for its robust build quality and flexible rear lounge configurations. The Auto-Trail Tracker RB offers more length at 7.63m for those needing extra space, but the Imala 736 remains a more compact alternative for those prioritising a 7.37m footprint. Choice between these models often depends on the preference for specific internal finishes and the requirement for a fixed bed versus a convertible lounge.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Auto-Trail Imala 736 Ownership Insights

- Regularly check the seals around the end washroom and kitchen fixtures.
- If using the rear lounge for sleeping, practice the bed conversion to ensure all cushions fit correctly.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming all 4-berth models have four travel seats; always verify the seatbelt count.
