About the Bailey Tessoro T486
The Benimar Tessoro T486, often associated with the high standards of the UK motorhome market, is a versatile Ford-based coachbuilt motorhome designed for those who value space and flexibility. Its standout feature is the clever combination of a spacious front lounge that can accommodate up to six people and a large electric Drop-Down Bed that disappears into the ceiling during the day. This layout maximizes floor space, creating an airy environment that feels much larger than its sub-7-meter length would suggest.
Built on the reliable Ford Transit chassis, the Tessoro T486 offers a car-like driving experience with a high level of standard specification, including a powerful 170bhp engine on many modern iterations. The rear of the vehicle features a full-width washroom and an impressive garage space, making it an ideal choice for active couples or small families who need to carry outdoor gear without compromising on interior luxury. Whether you are navigating narrow coastal roads or parked up at a premium campsite, this model delivers comfort and performance in equal measure.

What are the main features of the Benimar Tessoro T486?
The Benimar Tessoro T486 is a 6.98m coachbuilt motorhome built on a Ford Transit chassis, featuring a 4 berth capacity and a 3500kg MTPLM. It is defined by its space-saving electric drop-down bed and a large front lounge that accommodates up to six people. The layout includes a full-width rear washroom and a significant heated garage, supported by a 450kg payload.
- Ford Transit chassis with a 170bhp Euro 6 engine and cruise control.
- Electric drop-down double bed that stows into the ceiling.
- Full-width rear washroom featuring a separate shower cubicle.
- Large heated rear garage with access points on both exterior sides.
- Kitchen equipped with a 150-litre fridge/freezer and solar panel.
Worth knowing: The drop-down bed mechanism can obstruct the main entrance door when in the lowered position. Interior cabinetry and fixtures may feel less substantial than those found in some German-manufactured alternatives.
Buying a Benimar Tessoro T486
Who it suits
- • Active couples or small families who require a large garage for outdoor equipment.
- • Drivers who prefer the car-like handling of the Ford Transit chassis.
- • Owners who value a large social lounge area over a permanent fixed bed.
Reasons to consider it
- • The 450kg payload is high for a 3500kg vehicle, allowing for significant storage in the garage.
- • The 170bhp engine provides ample power for climbing and overtaking.
- • The sub-7-meter length (6.98m) remains manageable for narrow roads while offering a spacious interior.
What to check
- • Verify the specific engine output, as the 170bhp unit is common on modern iterations but may vary.
- • Inspect the operation of the electric drop-down bed and its impact on the lounge area.
- • Confirm the condition of the solar panel and 120-litre fresh water tank for off-grid use.
Worth knowing: The large rear garage occupies space that might otherwise be used for a fixed rear bedroom. Access to the habitation door is restricted when the electric bed is fully deployed.

| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bailey Tessoro T486 Motorhome | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.98 m | £52,000 to £78,000 |
| Benimar Primero P286 | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.99 m | £52,000 to £72,000 |

The Benimar Tessoro T486 sits in a competitive segment alongside the Bailey Adamo 69 4 and Chausson 640. While the Tessoro T486 is noted for its 170bhp Ford engine and high-contrast interior design, its rivals offer similar 3500kg MTPLM weights and 4 berth configurations. The choice between these models often depends on specific preferences for cabinetry robustess versus the high standard specification and payload capacity found in the Benimar.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 120-litre fresh water tank and solar panel to maximise off-grid stays.
- Monitor the 150-litre fridge/freezer power consumption when not connected to mains electricity.
- Ensure the 6.98m length is accounted for when booking pitches or navigating tight coastal routes.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overloading the rear garage beyond the 450kg total payload limit.
- • Attempting to exit the vehicle while the drop-down bed is in its lowest position.
Worth knowing: Always check the MTPLM against your driving licence; this model is 3500kg.
