    Rear Fixed Bunk Beds Motorhomes

    Last updated: 03 September 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    A high-occupancy family motorhome with VIP trim.

    The Chausson C656 VIP is a 6.96 metre over-cab coachbuilt motorhome designed for large families, offering between six and seven berths. It features a double dinette, rear bunk beds, and a high-specification VIP interior on a Fiat Ducato base. With a 3500kg MTPLM and a 516kg payload, it balances high occupancy with a standard car licence weight limit, though buyers should monitor total weight when fully loaded.

    • Seven-berth sleeping capacity including over-cab double and rear bunk beds.
    • VIP trim specification featuring upgraded dashboard and luxury upholstery.
    • Large 141-litre fridge-freezer with automatic energy selection.
    • Heated garage with dual-side access and folding lower bunk for storage.
    • Built on the Fiat Ducato chassis with a 3500kg MTPLM.

    Worth knowing: The 516kg payload may be restrictive when travelling with seven occupants. A height of 3.06 metres requires careful route planning for low bridges. Driving licence requirements should be checked as MTPLM may vary.

    Buying a Chausson C656 VIP

    Who it suits

    • • Large families requiring up to seven berths in a sub-seven-metre vehicle.
    • • Tourers seeking a dedicated children's sleeping area via rear bunk beds.
    • • Drivers who prefer the Fiat Ducato chassis with upgraded interior finishes.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • It offers one of the highest berth capacities available on a 3500kg chassis.
    • • The 6.96 metre length is relatively compact for a seven-berth layout.
    • • The heated garage provides versatile storage for bulky camping equipment.

    What to check

    • • Test the operation of the folding bottom bunk to ensure the garage space meets your needs.
    • • Inspect the VIP-specific upholstery and dashboard upgrades for wear.
    • • Check the 141-litre fridge-freezer functions on all energy sources.

    Worth knowing: Confirm the exact berth count for your specific year, as it ranges from six to seven. Verify if a C1 category licence is required for your specific vehicle configuration.

    Compare the Chausson C656 VIP with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Chausson C656 VIP73500 kg6.96 m£52,000 to £78,000
    Itineo SB740 Famili73500 kg7.43 m£52,000 to £85,000
    Sun Living A 70DK 165BHP Auto73500 kg6.99 m£58,000 to £74,000

    The Chausson C656 VIP occupies a specific niche for high-occupancy touring, providing seven berths within a 6.96 metre footprint. While alternatives like the Itineo SB740 Famili offer similar berth counts on a longer 7.43 metre chassis, the Chausson remains a compact choice for its capacity. The Sun Living A 70DK offers a similar length at 6.99 metres, making the C656 VIP a competitive option for those prioritising the Fiat Ducato base and the specific VIP trim upgrades. Buyers must weigh the high berth count against the 516kg payload, which is a common consideration in this class.

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

    Ownership and Maintenance

    • Utilise the dual-side access to the garage to balance heavy loads across the rear axle.
    • Fold the bottom bunk during transit if extra height is needed for large items in the garage.
    • Use a dedicated motorhome sat-nav to account for the 3.06 metre exterior height.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Exceeding the 516kg payload by carrying seven passengers and full water tanks.
    • • Neglecting to secure the safety netting on the over-cab double bed.

    Worth knowing: Payload management is critical when utilising all seven berths. The 3.06 metre height exceeds standard van dimensions.
