Elnagh Joxy 6 on Fiat Ducato 2.8JTD 

Sixties swinger Andy Stothert spends a windy week rocking and 

rolling around the Lake District in the new Joxy 6 from Elnagh 

Sorry about the title, but how do you come up with a snappy heading for 

something with a name like Elnagh (pronounced Elle-Nagg) and Joxy? So 

Bryan Ferry it had to be. Right, to business. I’m not actually sure why this 

motorhome is called the Joxy 6, as it’s a four-berth low profile coachbuilt 

with a body that isn’t six metres in length. So maybe the 6 is just the label 

on the box? As for Joxy, well...? 

Like most motorcaravans imported by Don Amott, the Elnaghs are built 

in Italy, and this one comes on a long wheelbase Fiat chassis propelled by 

the ubiquitous 2.8JTD engine. Price wise, at £32,000, the Joxy 6 isn’t an 

economy coachbuilt, but you couldn’t call it expensive either. Middle of the 

road, but not 'Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep'! 

'The look of love' 

Funny, but I remember that one as being by Dusty, though it was Sergio 

Mendes who had the hit. Alright, I know, get on with it! As far as looks go, 

Elnagh have gone to quite some lengths to take the boxy out of the Joxy. 

They’ve slapped on bits of mouldings everywhere to smooth off the corners, 

and if you stand back a few yards (not from the magazine you idiot) and run 

your eyes over the lines of the Joxy, from just about every angle it looks right. 

It’s not too flash though, just well rounded, and quite subtle. The graphics 

can only be described as restrained, but ever so slightly anarchic at the same 

time. I know it sounds mad, but just examine the small Joxy 6 logo on the 

doors. On the sides the only interference with the clean lines is the usual 

selection of vents, along with the toilet and gas hatches. They were both easy 

to open and close, which makes a pleasant change from those nasty plastic 

lock-and-push catches that seem to be all the rage at the moment. Thankfully, 

that particular salesman hasn’t yet called at Elnagh, and their locker locks 

are simple turn-the-key jobs. There’s also an external hatch in the rear panel,

ELNAGH JOXY 6 ON FIAT DUCATO 2.8JTD 

The gas locker holds two 7kg bottles, with quite a lot of 

space to spare. 

▼ 

Looking to the front we see that lockers run right round 

the pod above the cab. The furniture is neat and well 

finished. Caravan door is out of shot on the right (offside). 

▼ 

The usual Fiat dash. The TV is not a standard fitting, but it’s the only place I could get my 

telly to pick up Radio 2. I hasten to add that I didn’t drive it with the black box in situ. 

which allows access into the storage area under the rear fixed bed. 

As I said, from a few yards away this is a nice looking motorhome, but 

close-up things are not quite so pretty, with excess sealant showing up all 

over the place. Still, better too much than too little. 

Most of the body is a GRP sandwich, with the overcab pod being a very 

thick, strong and smooth GRP moulding. The add-on smoothers are (I think) 

ABS plastic, and look a bit white bathroomish, with all those plastic screw 

covers on the joins. I know this is more to do with driving than the looks of 

the thing, but the body felt absolutely rock solid on the road, with no groans, 

bangs or squeaks emanating from anywhere. I can’t be sure of the reason, 

but perhaps the double thickness floor upon which the Joxy stands may aid 

rigidity. 

Overall, the Joxy is a well-balanced pretty little motorhome. I say little 

because it doesn’t actually look (or feel when driving) as big as it is. 

'On the road again' 

That one, as we all know, was by a group called Canned Heat. (If you’re not 

a sixties youth you will now be baffled.) 

As I said, the Joxy is built on the 3400kg long wheelbase Fiat chassis 

cab, with the usual 2.8-litre turbo-diesel power plant under the bonnet, so 

I was expecting spirited performance coupled with reasonable economy 

from this modest-sized smoothly rounded motorhome. It had only done ten 

miles when I left Don Amott and, as expected, performance improved as the 

miles piled up. 

If I have a niggle about the way it goes, it is that on the 3400kg (or 

3500kg) chassis, there is a very big gap between 4th and the tall 5th gear 

ratio, which means the motor will not ‘pull’ top gear until 50mph arrives. 

Even modest motorway hills slow you up - unless that is you have it bowling 

along at 70-plus, which the Joxy will do quite comfortably (and a fair bit 

more as well). Besides being illegal (not many people know that) this sort 

of speed will also mean a big increase in fuel bills. 

On the 3850kg rated models the top gear ratio is a bit lower, and this 

seems to be a better compromise for coachbuilt motorhomes. I was 

disappointed with the 24.8mpg obtained, as I rarely do above 60mph on the 

motorway, and tend to bumble about in a leisurely fashion everywhere else. 

Apparently I drive like a retired vicar, which is apt, for it matches my 

Four can dine at the table in the Joxy and it slides either way to allow entry and exit. The 

high upright design of the dinette seats means this is not a place to lounge comfortably. 

wholesome reverential lifestyle. 

However, if you’re a man (or lady of course) with a meaner streak, and 

in a hurry, this ‘van will definitely get you there, and sharpish. 

What else? The brakes got better as the test progressed (after nearly 

ruining the loose cover upholstery on the driver’s seat at the first 

roundabout), the handling was excellent, and the steering, as usual, precise 

and well weighted. The gearstick obstructs your view of the heater controls 

when in fifth, and you can’t fail to notice this as constant fiddling with the 

heater controls is always called for in these Fiat/Peugeot/Citroën vans. I 

never had these problems in my old Transit. 

One other thing is the spare wheel, which is buried under the centre of 

the ‘van, on a cradle with a very short hook. I know Jonathan Lloyd actually 

attempts to change a wheel when he tests these things, but I’m a wimp. I 

wasn’t equipped with overalls, trolley jack, or indeed the arms Mr Lloyd 

must surely have hidden about his person somewhere. 

'Rhythm of life' 

You oldies should remember that one, although I think it was actually called 

'swing your daddy'. The interior layout, as already hinted at, includes one 

of these trendy (and it must be said, popular with buyers) fixed beds. I 

reckon they squeeze the space for other facilities too hard in a motorhome 

the size of the Joxy, but we all have different priorities. 

The Joxy is built on a RHD chassis, but the interior layout and caravan 

door have not been swapped to UK spec. This makes no odds on site, but 

I found myself constantly using the cab passenger door for getting in and 

out on roads. Getting from cab to living quarters while carrying the shopping 

(or a rucksack) was not the easiest of manoeuvres. Access is not helped 

by the high-backed dinette seats, which restrict the walk-through width. 

Confused? Just look at the cutaway drawing at the end of the test to get the 

gist of things. If a picture paints a thousand words, etc. (But we won’t go 

there musically. Definitely not.) 

The wardrobe is sited at the front, opposite the dinette. Then comes the 

entrance door, kitchen, and in the back the fixed bed and bathroom. Elnagh 

have got around the problem some manufacturers seem to have in 

accommodating a bed and bathroom in the rear by building the 'van a bit 

wider (7ft 6in) and making the bed a bit narrower. 

110 MAY 2003 MOTORCARAVAN MOTORHOME MONTHLY


Looking back down the length of the Joxy. There’s plenty of lighting and a well-positioned Omnivent to help remove 

cooking smells. 

My 7-inch monochrome TV filled the dedicated cupboard, but getting at the sockets in the dark depths of the corner 

was nigh on impossible. Not a good feature this. 

▼ 

▼ 

Sitting and thinking 

Sorry - couldn’t come up with a hit tune with ‘sitting’ contained therein, 

unless you include 'dock of the bay'. (How about 'spider and the fly' by the 

Rolling Stones? Ed) Sitting and thinking isn’t something I did lot of in the 

Joxy (small room excepted), due to there being nowhere particularly comfy 

to sit and think. 

The only seats available are in the dinette, which are too high, too 

upright, too far from the floor, and have too shallow squabs. I wriggled 

around for a while, propping my feet up, leaning on the table, and anything 

else I could think of to get comfy, but no. By 7.30pm on the first night I had 

rearranged the dinette into a big single bed, clambered into the bag with a 

bottle of Laphroaig for company, and reclined with a good book to pass the 

long dark evening away. The book was Bridget Jones’ Diary, and it’s a good 

giggle, even without the Scotch. 

I intended to watch the box, but my plug (as ever) wouldn’t fit. Story of 

my life I’m afraid. The TV cupboard, incidentally (and unusually), is tailor 

made for my miniature apparatus (7-inch B&W) and it will hold nothing 

bigger. I managed to get the television working by the second night, on the 

dashboard, but couldn’t see the screen from either bed. 

So what’s the point of this tale of technical woe, and diminutive 

personal equipment? Simple - the TV cupboard won’t accommodate 

anything but the smallest of televisions, and even if it will fit, finding the 

sockets in the deepest darkest corner of the cupboards almost calls for 

tunnelling skills. 

How and where four people would spend a northern winter evening in 

here I just don’t know, unless they all went to bed at 7pm to read. Look at 

the Joxy as a two-person ‘van and you’ll be OK sitting upright to play card 

or board games, but much less happy trying to stretch out. And woe of 

woes, there wasn’t a radio fitted to the test vehicle, so I nearly missed my 

morning dose of Wogan. 

▼ 



The lack of truly comfy lounge seats in motorcaravans is by no means 

unique to Elnagh, and I do start to wonder whether I’m missing something 

in my mid-life motorcaravanning lifestyle. It’s alright for those Italians, who 

only use their motorhomes in summer, and spend their evenings sat outside 

with a bottle of wine, but up ‘ere, int’ frozen north, comfy interior seating is 

a bit of a must. The bottom line is this; as it stands the Joxy 6 just hasn’t 

got the capability of sitting a family of four comfortably and it is 

compromised even for two. 

The whole interior would be transformed by an L-shaped sofa and two 

swivel cab seats. If you like the rest of the Joxy, you might even consider 

having the lounge modified. Others, for many motorcaravanners have 

bought this type of layout from many different manufacturers, may just 

accuse me of being too fussy. And there is also the further possibility of 

opting for the Joxy 26, which has the desirable L-shaped lounge plus fixed 

single beds at the back. That was the one we had hoped to test, and I 

cannot help but feel that I’d have liked it better (much, much better) and that 

it will be the better seller, too. 

As for dining, the Joxy is sold as a four-berth ‘van, and this looks 

possible with a bit of synchronised eating. Couples (who will, in reality, be 

the majority of buyers) will have loads of room to feed their faces. The dining 

table is almost cunning, as it is light, slides across to allow diners to get in 

and out, and can be removed easily. What a shame that the leg cannot be 

removed or folded away completely so that the table can be placed 

elsewhere. Another slightly illogical foreign table. 

The rear fixed bed with well-designed lockers above - all have positive locking catches 

for secure storage. 

This is the dinette bed made into a wide single; how I used it. Two slide-out extensions, 

an infill board, and two cushions stored in the wardrobe make it into an almost full-sized 

double. But it’s too short for long ‘uns, and those who sleep on their fronts. 



▼ The wonderful kitchen tap - almost a work of art. 

Perhaps I could have sold it to the Tate Modern. 

'Dream a little dream of me' 

Mama Cass - fantastic. You may remember I related a sorry tale of going to 

bed (condensed dinette bed version) at 7.30pm earlier, as I couldn’t find 

anywhere comfy to sit in the Joxy. The plan was that I could just flake out 

where I lay when the effects of the Scotch kicked in. Obviously I didn’t have 

enough. The dinette is just under 6ft long and, with a solid wall at both ends, 

this isn’t quite big enough for a (well, almost) fully formed adult. It makes 

up easily enough, and will be fine for two youngsters, but for those who like 

to stretch out, or sleep on their front, this bed isn’t quite long enough. Again, 

in reality, most buyers will rarely use the dinette bed - perhaps, just 

Space is a bit tight, and 

the grill (in the oven below 

the cutlery drawer, which is 

below the sink) is a bit too 

low to examine your toast 

whilst it cooks - slowly. 

▼ 

The top lockers in the kitchen won’t hold everything, but I had a good try. 

occasionally for the grandchildren? 

I decamped and moved onto the fixed bed when weariness descended, 

where I dreamed pleasant dreams all night long. On the second night I was 

forced, in an unusual fit of thoroughness, to attempt to kip on the side of the 

fixed bed with the cut-away section. To be honest, I couldn’t keep myself 

from creeping back over to the other side after a leg dropped out of bed 

(with a clatter) a few times. Always the left one, too. Perhaps it’s heavier? I 

can see two big (I was going to write ‘wide’, but thought better of it) people 

having problems in this bed as it isn’t that broad at its widest (4ft 2in) and 

slims down considerably (3ft 5in) half way down. Folk like me (the mentally 

slim), and my good lady (descended from the now extinct North Lancashire 

Pygmy tribe) will manage alright. 

Something else to think about, depending on what you get up to in bed 

during the early evenings is that where the headboard should be is a 

window. Activities like sitting up in bed to read, breakfasting in bed, or 

anything else you can think of involving headboards and beds, will not be 

possible in here. 

Aside from the top lockers kitchen storage space is meagre, but with so many other 

lockers available this is not a worry. 

'Food on the hill' 

Oh come on, it was a good attempt. (It was by the Beatles (sort of), just in 

case you were comatose in the golden decade.) 

The Joxy kitchen is in the middle of the ‘van, opposite the dinette and 

fixed bed. At first glance you immediately think the kitchen area is 

impossibly small, but I suspect familiarity (or local restaurateurs) will 

gradually make life easier. There is no doubt that the kitchen is an inevitable 

casualty of the space occupied by the fixed bed, but something had to give 

a little somewhere. However, Elnagh seem to have handled the compromise 

well, for at least the Joxy has most of the equipment, albeit fitted into the 

minimum amount of space. The cooker, a three-burner Smev hob with 

separate oven and grill combination, works well enough (with the usual 

“toast? Not this millennium” caveat). And the sink is a very handsome round 

▼ 



The front half of the light airy spacious bathroom. 

stainless item. 

The solid metal kitchen tap is almost a piece of modern art, and all 

motorhome taps should be made this way. I just wish it didn’t snag the wall 

when the temperature selector was moved across its range. The lack of a 

drainer isn’t that important, as a washing-up bowl or tray can be utilised on 

the cooker lid, but juggling everything around whilst you clear the space is 

a pain. There is very little storage space in the actual kitchen area, but as 

there is so much elsewhere this shouldn’t create any difficulties. 

One thing I didn’t like was the loose glass cover for the sink. This could 

be inadvertently left in place whilst travelling, and under heavy braking, 

or in an accident, might become a lethal projectile. It is awkward to store, 

too. 

I reckon the kitchen is all right, but you’ll need to get organised to make 

it work. 

'Water-loo sunset' 

The Kinks. One of my favourites, as is the ablutions area in the Joxy. It is all 

blue and white, even down to the taps being bright blue, and the makers 

name writ large, in blue of course, on the shower curtain. The shower 

curtain, which is only required to shield one side of the separate cubicle, has 

weighted rods running down its length to stop it from clinging to your firm 

young torso - or whatever it is you walk around in. It works too. The hand 

basin, if you were to be really picky, isn’t quite big enough for Olympic 

standard splash-washing, but it is better than most. The two cabinets are 

more than ample for storing even a female’s vast and varied toiletry 

requirements. 

I like this bathroom a lot, and all in all, even though everything is plastic, 

it has a good solid feel to it, with everything working as it should. I thought 

the translucent blind within the window cassette was a great idea, as it lets 

light in, but preserves privacy. What more can I say - the bathroom does 

what it should admirably. 

'Donald, where’s your troosers?' 

Well, in the wardrobe of course. If you hadn’t already guessed, this is the 

section devoted to storage and anything else I can’t quite find a song title 

for. The wardrobe is almost big enough to sit in, and has hanging height 

from top to bottom. A bit too big I reckon. But it does present a great 

opportunity for the sort of owner who (I hate to admit it but I’m one of them) 

gets a new ‘van and then immediately rips everything to pieces and fits 

The shower is in the back corner, its non-cling curtain works well. 

extra shelves, trays and drawers to suit their own perverse requirements. 

The extra cushions, and the bridging piece for dinette bed, fill some of 

the wardrobe, but if they aren’t needed they will be left at home whilst all her 

clothes travel the world. The overhead lockers are a good mix of big open 

spaces and shelved storage, and this is where some of the homeless 

kitchen stuff will probably end up. 

We’ve already discussed the small TV cupboard, but alongside it are yet 

more lockers. The space under the front dinette seat is consumed by the 

inboard water tank, whilst the other one is mostly available for bulky items. 

It is quite easy to get into as well, which is a welcome change. There’s also 

a long ski-type locker under the rear of the floor accessible from outside, 

and the biggest storage area of all is under the fixed bed in the rear corner. 

The bed lifts up easily on struts, and whilst you can step right in, there’s not 

quite enough headroom to erect your garden chair and sit down 

comfortably. (I think our tester has finally cracked - Road Test Ed.) 

Obviously, on my own, in winter, I had no need for this cavernous space, 

but it will fit all sorts in, including rucksacks, chairs, folding bikes, and 

The Truma Combi boiler is situated in this storage area, but it does need protection from 

all the other things that will live in here too. 



The cavernous underbed storage. 

inflatable boats. And the Joxy hasn’t got a lengthy overhang, so overloading 

the rear axle shouldn’t be an issue, save possibly for the duty-free debacle. 

The Trumatic heating unit is under there too, and isn’t protected in any way 

whatsoever from wandering or carelessly thrown luggage, and this needs to 

be addressed by the manufacturer. 

Anybody who develops a storage related problem in the Joxy needs 

urgent radical chattel reduction surgery, or a different way of life. 

'Bits and pieces' 

The Dave Clarke Five, and no further explanation needed, I hope. 

Entry is easy enough with both electric and built in steps. 

Lighting first, which was very good overall. Illumination is provided by 

those nice small round halogen spots, and they’re in just about all the right 

places. The front area above the cab could do with another, and even one 

in the wardrobe would have been nice, and, thinking about it, a bit of light 

under the fixed bed would be useful, too. And possibly one in the shower, 

though I’m not completely convinced mixing steam, water, electrical fittings, 

and a lunatic is a good combination. There was no mains light either, but if 

the 12V ones cope - which they do - then why bother? 

The Joxy is comprehensively equipped with everything you would 

normally expect, with possibly the exception of a Heki rooflight. Personally, 

▼ 



I reckon chopping a bleedin’ great hole in your roof then putting several 

hundred pounds worth of fragile plastic at tree level will either stop you 

exploring where you should, or leave some cracks in your wallet eventually. 

Instead of the Heki, the Joxy has a motorised Omnivent, and whilst these 

devices only open in one direction, in hot places they certainly can move the 

air about in the ‘van, without losing vast quantities of it in winter. 

The Trumatic water/space heater functioned well but had to be switched 

up very high on the thermostat, due to this being fitted in the warmest spot 

in the interior (which also just happened to be the most convenient place 

to fit it, rather than the most appropriate). It’s not just Elnagh who do this - 

it’s endemic, whatever that means. 

What else has it got? Nice looking furniture, courtesy of Tecnoform, 

removable carpets, and an electric step to ease your passage upward. 

'What I’ve got in mind' 

That one is Billie Jo Spears. I started my week with the Joxy thinking that a 

fixed bed in something this size (it’s about 20ft long, after you’ve subtracted 

the length of that deep moulding on the rear) would necessarily cause too 

many other facilities to be seriously compromised. It’s a decision buyers 

have to weigh up. Well, I was both right and wrong. The kitchen has suffered 

a little, but not seriously. Some of the shortcomings of the dinette as a 

seating area are a direct result of the rear bed, but had the manufacturers 

fitted swivel cab seats and an L-shaped lounge instead of that short dinette, 

then the Joxy would be completely transformed. You really could then have 

your cake and sleep on it, as they say. 

The conclusion? Well this layout is not for me, simply because the 

lounge seating is too focused on dining, rather than relaxing. A pity, 

because otherwise this is a very good motorhome. What cannot be denied 

is that the Joxy is a very soundly built vehicle which drives very well 

indeed, and, in true Don Amott Italian fashion, offers a lot of 

accommodation for the money.
