    About the Chausson 640 First Line 130BHP

    The Chausson 640 First Line 130BHP is a masterclass in space management, packing the amenities of a much larger vehicle into a maneuverable sub-7-meter frame. Built on a dependable Ford Transit chassis, it replaces the traditional fixed bed with an oversized electric Drop-Down Bed that lowers from the ceiling. This design choice opens up a massive 'Smart Lounge' featuring face-to-face sofas, creating a social hub that feels incredibly airy and modern for a low-profile motorhome.

    Beyond the living area, the 640 is distinguished by its full-width rear washroom, which includes a separate shower and an expansive dressing area with a double wardrobe. The large rear garage is accessible from both sides, providing ample storage for outdoor gear without compromising the interior flow. Because it remains under the 3,500kg weight limit, it is an accessible choice for any driver with a standard UK Category B license.

    Drop-Down Bed Motorhomes

    Last updated: 24 August 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    What makes the Chausson 640 First Line 130BHP unique?

    The Chausson 640 First Line 130BHP is a 6.99m low-profile motorhome that maximises living space by replacing fixed beds with a 160cm electric drop-down bed. Built on a Ford Transit chassis, it features a Smart Lounge with face-to-face seating and a full-width rear washroom with an integrated dressing area. With a 3500kg MTPLM, it is accessible to standard UK Category B licence holders.

    • Ford Transit chassis with 130BHP engine and cruise control.
    • Extra-wide 160cm electric drop-down bed and Smart Lounge.
    • Full-width rear washroom with separate shower and double wardrobe.
    • Heated rear garage with dual-side access and power sockets.
    • Grade 3 insulation rating and 7-year water ingress warranty.

    Worth knowing: The 130BHP engine may feel limited when the 488kg payload is fully utilised in hilly terrain. Lowering the drop-down bed can restrict access to the lounge or habitation door. Daily cushion reconfiguration is required to use the additional berths.

    Buying a Chausson 640 First Line 130BHP

    Who it suits

    • • Couples seeking a spacious daytime lounge without the length of a fixed-bed motorhome.
    • • Drivers with a standard UK Category B licence looking for a 3500kg MTPLM vehicle.
    • • Owners requiring significant storage, provided by the large heated garage and double wardrobe.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • The 6.99m length offers a balance between interior volume and road manoeuvrability.
    • • High-specification washroom facilities including a separate shower and expansive dressing area.
    • • Modern cab ergonomics and safety features provided by the Ford Transit base.

    What to check

    • • Verify the exact payload for your specific unit, as optional equipment reduces the 488kg allowance.
    • • Test the Smart Lounge conversion process to ensure the additional berths are practical for your use.
    • • Inspect the Technibox external hatch for ease of access to water and electrical points.

    Worth knowing: Confirm the specific year of manufacture as specifications can vary by model year. Check the operation of the electric bed to ensure it meets your accessibility needs.

    Compare the Chausson 640 First Line 130BHP with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Chausson 640 First Line 130BHP43500 kg6.99 m£52,000 to £72,000
    Benimar Primero P28643500 kg6.99 m£52,000 to £72,000
    Benimar Tessoro T48743500 kg6.99 m£45,000 to £78,000

    The Chausson 640 First Line 130BHP occupies a competitive position in the sub-7-meter market, priced between 52000 and 72000. While it shares its 6.99m length and 3500kg MTPLM with alternatives like the Benimar Primero P286 and Tessoro T487, its specific focus on the 160cm drop-down bed and Smart Lounge layout distinguishes its interior flow. It offers a higher payload of 488kg compared to some larger models, though the 130BHP engine is a standard entry point compared to higher-output alternatives in the same price range.

    Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

    Ownership and Maintenance Tips

    • Utilise the Technibox external hatch for routine water and electrical maintenance to keep the interior clean.
    • Make use of the integrated ISOFIX points in the Smart Lounge if travelling with young children.
    • Monitor the 7-year water ingress warranty requirements to maintain long-term protection.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Forgetting that the drop-down bed requires a clear lounge area before operation.
    • • Overloading the 488kg payload with heavy accessories like bike racks or awnings.

    Worth knowing: Always verify the height of 2.92m before entering restricted-clearance areas. Ensure the 3500kg MTPLM is not exceeded when utilizing the large rear garage.
