A versatile 3500kg motorhome with a drop-down bed layout.
The Benimar Tessoro T487 is a 6.99m low-profile motorhome built on a Ford Transit chassis. It is designed for two to four people, featuring a spacious front lounge and an electric drop-down bed that eliminates the need for a fixed permanent bed in the living area. This layout allows for a full-width rear washroom and a substantial garage, all while remaining within a 3500kg MTPLM.
- Ford Transit chassis with high-specification cab and reversing camera.
- Electric drop-down bed system to maximise daytime lounge space.
- Full-width rear washroom featuring a separate shower and toilet.
- Large external garage for equipment and outdoor furniture storage.
- Grade 3 insulation rating suitable for year-round UK touring.
Worth knowing: The 6.99m length requires careful navigation in confined spaces. Payload is limited to 445kg before accounting for optional extras and fluids. Cab entry height may be higher than motorhomes using Al-Ko chassis.
Buying a Benimar Tessoro T487
Who it suits
- • Couples who prioritise a large washroom and spacious lounge over a fixed bed.
- • Drivers limited to a 3500kg licence who still require a garage and four berths.
- • Year-round tourers who benefit from the Grade 3 insulation rating.
Reasons to consider it
- • It offers a high level of standard equipment including solar panels and a reversing camera.
- • The Ford Transit base provides modern driving dynamics and cab comfort.
- • The layout provides a 'home-from-home' feel with distinct living and utility zones.
What to check
- • Verify the service history of the Ford Transit base vehicle.
- • Inspect the eco-leather upholstery for wear in high-use lounge areas.
- • Ensure the solar panel and awning, fitted as standard, are in good working order.
Worth knowing: Confirm the specific payload remaining if the vehicle has been fitted with heavy aftermarket accessories. Check the operation of the electric drop-down bed mechanism during viewing.
Compare the Benimar Tessoro T487 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Benimar Tessoro T487 | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.99 m | £45,000 to £78,000 |
| Benimar Primero P286 | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.99 m | £52,000 to £72,000 |
| Benimar Tessoro T413 | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.41 m | £48,000 to £72,000 |
The Benimar Tessoro T487 sits in a competitive segment of 6.99m motorhomes. While the Chausson 640 offers a near-identical footprint and weight, the T487 distinguishes itself with its specific Ford-based specification and interior finishes. Compared to the longer Elddis Evolution (7.34m), the T487 is easier to manoeuvre while maintaining the same 3500kg MTPLM, though it sacrifices the extra floor length found in larger models. It remains a balanced choice for those who want a garage and large washroom without exceeding 7 metres.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the external garage for heavy items to keep the central living area clear.
- Regularly clean the solar panel to maintain charging efficiency for the leisure battery.
- Test the reversing camera regularly as it is a vital aid for a vehicle of this length.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overloading the 445kg payload by filling water tanks and the garage simultaneously.
- • Miscalculating clearance heights due to the 2.89m external height when passing under low bridges.
Worth knowing: Always consult the Motorhome Weight Checker to ensure the 3500kg MTPLM is compatible with your driving licence.
Alternatives to the Benimar Tessoro T487
The Primero P286 offers a similar 6.99m length and 3500kg MTPLM but serves as an entry-level alternative within the Benimar range.
Benimar Tessoro T413For those requiring a more compact vehicle, the T413 reduces the external length to 6.41m while maintaining the 3500kg weight limit.
