About the Benimar Tessoro T483

The Benimar Tessoro T483 is a masterclass in modern motorhome design, seamlessly blending the reliability of a Ford Transit chassis with a layout that prioritises both storage and social space. Distinctive for its absence of a fixed rear bed in favour of a massive rear garage and a luxurious drop-down electric bed, this model offers an expansive living area that feels significantly larger than its 6.7-metre length suggests. It is the ideal companion for adventurous couples or small families who require serious storage for outdoor gear without sacrificing the comforts of a high-end lounge.

Inside, the T483 excels with an L-shaped kitchen and a spacious washroom that spans the full width of the rear, providing a dressing room feel rare in this class. The Ford 170bhp engine option provides plenty of torque for hilly terrain, while the Grade 3 insulation rating ensures you stay warm during winter expeditions across the Highlands or the Lake District.
