A compact van conversion with high-specification features.
The Benimar Benivan 144 P is a 5.99 metre van conversion built on the Fiat Ducato chassis, designed to balance agility with high-end features. It features a transverse rear bed layout that allows for a significant garage space beneath, accessible via rear barn doors. With a 3500kg MTPLM and a 540kg payload, it offers a practical solution for couples or small families seeking a Grade 3 insulated vehicle for year-round use. The interior includes a front dinette with swivel seats and a fully integrated kitchen with a 70L compressor fridge.
- Compact 5.99 metre length and 2.05 metre width for easier navigation on narrow roads.
- Rear transverse fixed double bed layout with a large under-bed garage for equipment.
- Fiat Ducato 140bhp Euro 6D engine paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
- Four-season capability with Grade 3 thermal insulation and a powerful heating system.
- Practical wet room featuring a shower, toilet, and a space-saving tip-up sink.
Worth knowing: The 3 to 4 berth configuration may feel restricted when used at maximum capacity by adults. The transverse bed design requires the inner occupant to climb over their partner to exit. Kitchen worktop space is limited, which may impact complex meal preparation.
Buying a Benimar Benivan 144 P
Who it suits
- Couples who prioritise a fixed bed and a compact footprint for easier parking and driving.
- Outdoor enthusiasts who require a large garage space for sports equipment or bulky camping gear.
Reasons to consider it
- The sub-6 metre length makes it significantly more manoeuvrable than larger coachbuilt motorhomes.
- High standard specification includes cab air conditioning, cruise control, and a 140bhp engine.
- Grade 3 insulation ensures the vehicle remains comfortable during winter touring in the UK.
What to check
- Verify the specific berth count for your chosen unit, as these range from 3 to 4 berths.
- Confirm the presence of the electric entry step and flyscreen on the sliding door.
- Inspect the high-gloss cabinetry and LED lighting for any signs of wear in used models.
- Check the operation of the 70L compressor fridge and 2-burner hob in the kitchen area.
Worth knowing: Payload capacity of 540kg must be managed carefully when adding optional equipment or heavy gear. The 2.65 metre height should be noted for clearance under low bridges or height barriers.

The Benimar Benivan 144 P occupies a competitive position in the sub-6 metre van conversion market, priced between 48000 and 66000. It offers a high-specification interior and Grade 3 insulation that rivals the Auto-Trail Expedition 67 and Benimar's own Primero P201. While the van conversion body limits internal width compared to coachbuilt alternatives like the F-Line F62, the 144 P provides superior agility and a dedicated garage space that is highly valued by active users. The choice between these models typically rests on the preference for a panel van's steel body versus the additional living width of a coachbuilt motorhome.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the swivel cab seats to maximise the living space in the front dinette area.
- Make use of the tip-up sink in the wet room to create more space during showering.
- Monitor battery levels when using the 70L compressor fridge during off-grid stays.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 540kg payload by over-loading the large rear garage with heavy equipment.
- Forgetting to retract the electric entry step before moving the vehicle.
Worth knowing: Always ensure the rear barn doors are fully secured before transit to protect garage contents.
