A versatile low-profile motorhome with a hotel-style rear bedroom.
The Benimar Tessoro T494 is a 7.39m low-profile motorhome designed for four people, featuring a popular rear island bed and a separate shower. Built on a Ford Transit chassis, it offers a 415kg payload and a 3500kg MTPLM, making it accessible to most drivers while providing high-specification features like solar panels and a large rear garage.
- Four-berth capacity with a rear island bed and electric drop-down double.

- MTPLM of 3500kg allows for driving on a standard UK car licence.
- Grade 3 thermal insulation for year-round touring capability.

- • Drivers who prefer the ergonomics and power of the Ford 170bhp engine.
Reasons to consider it
- • The island bed layout provides a premium bedroom feel without compromising the lounge.
- • A generous 415kg payload is available within the 3500kg weight limit.
- • Standard equipment often includes reversing cameras and solar panels.
What to check

Compare the Benimar Tessoro T494 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Benimar Tessoro T494 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.39 m | £52,000 to £82,000 |
| Benimar TESSORO T840 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.39 m | £52,000 to £78,000 |
| Benimar Tessoro T463 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.43 m | £48,000 to £78,000 |
The Benimar Tessoro T494 sits in a competitive segment alongside models like the Auto-Trail F Line F70 and other Tessoro variants. While it shares the 3500kg MTPLM and Ford chassis common to this range, its primary distinction is the island bed layout. Compared to the T463 or T861, which offer different bed configurations, the T494 focuses on rear bedroom accessibility. It maintains a consistent price bracket with its siblings, offering a balance of Spanish design and UK-oriented features.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the Grade 3 insulation by maintaining the heating system for winter use.
- Make use of the swivelling cab seats to maximise the social space in the L-shaped lounge.
- Regularly check the seals on the external garage doors to protect stored gear.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Assuming all models have the same engine output; verify the 170bhp specification.
- • Overlooking the height of 2.89m when planning routes under low bridges.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact payload before adding heavy accessories like bike racks.
