Is the Benimar Tessoro T861 a practical choice for UK touring?
The Benimar Tessoro T861 is a 7.38m low-profile motorhome built on a Ford Transit chassis, offering between 2 and 4 berths. It is specifically designed for those seeking a permanent rear island bed and separate washroom facilities while remaining within the 3500kg weight limit for standard UK driving licences. With Grade 3 insulation and a 170bhp engine, it balances touring performance with seasonal versatility.
- Ford Transit 170bhp chassis as standard equipment.
- Rear island bed layout with separate shower and toilet facilities.
- 3500kg MTPLM allows driving on a standard Category B UK licence.
- Grade 3 thermal insulation for year-round touring capability.
- L-shaped kitchen featuring a 3-burner hob, oven, and large fridge/freezer.
Worth knowing: The 7.38m length may require more confidence when navigating narrow routes compared to smaller campervans. Payload is limited to 415kg, which reduces further when water tanks are full or extra batteries are installed.
Buying a Benimar Tessoro T861: What you need to know
Who it suits
- • Couples seeking a boutique-hotel feel with a dedicated rear island bed.
- • Drivers who prefer the car-like handling of a 170bhp Ford engine.
- • Tourists who do not hold a C1 licence but want a full-sized 7.38m motorhome.
Reasons to consider it
- • High standard specification including a powerful 170bhp engine.
- • Excellent thermal properties suitable for winter use in the UK.
- • Spacious internal proportions with a separate independent shower cubicle.
What to check
- • Verify the specific berth count, as this model ranges from 2 to 4 berths.
- • Confirm if the optional electric drop-down double bed is fitted if you require 4-berth capacity.
- • Check the condition of the multi-directional folding table in the front lounge.
- • Inspect the rear garage to ensure it meets your specific storage needs for bikes or gear.
Worth knowing: The island bed configuration results in a lower maximum garage height than some twin-bed alternatives. Payload management is critical if adding heavy optional extras like a second battery.
Compare the Benimar Tessoro T861 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Benimar Tessoro T861 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.38 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 T861 sits in a competitive price bracket between 52,000 and 82,000 pounds. It distinguishes itself from German-built rivals by offering a high-output 170bhp Ford engine as standard and a 3500kg MTPLM. While the 7.38m length is similar to the Rapido 696F and Auto-Trail F Line F70, the T861 focuses on a balance of Spanish design flair and Grade 3 insulation, making it a robust contender for those prioritising a permanent island bed layout without upgrading their driving licence.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Practical ownership advice for the T861
- Utilise the Grade 3 insulation for off-season touring to maximise your investment.
- Make use of the multi-directional folding table to adjust the lounge space for dining or relaxing.
- Monitor the 415kg payload carefully when installing additional leisure batteries.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overloading the rear garage, which may impact the 415kg payload limit.
- • Underestimating the 2.89m height when approaching low bridges or fuel station canopies.
Worth knowing: Always verify the remaining payload after accounting for passengers and essential fluids.
