Is the Benimar Tessoro 487 170BHP a practical low-profile motorhome?
The Benimar Tessoro 487 170BHP is a 6.94m low-profile motorhome built on a Ford Transit chassis, offering between two and four berths. It is distinguished by its 170BHP engine and a layout that prioritises living space and storage, featuring an electric drop-down bed and a large rear garage. With a 3500kg MTPLM, it remains accessible to standard UK driving licence holders while providing Grade 3 thermal insulation for year-round use.
- Ford Transit chassis with a 170BHP EcoBlue Euro 6 engine.
- Electric drop-down double bed with multi-position settings.
- Large rear garage with internal and external access points.
- L-shaped front lounge with rotatable captain seats.
- Washroom featuring a separate walk-in rainfall shower.
- Kitchen equipped with a 145-litre fridge/freezer and oven.
Worth knowing: The 435kg payload may be quickly consumed if the large rear garage is fully loaded. The absence of a fixed permanent bed requires reliance on the electric mechanism. A length of 6.94m may prove challenging in restricted urban environments.
Buying a Benimar Tessoro 487 170BHP
Who it suits
- • Couples or small families who prefer a large daytime lounge over a fixed bedroom.
- • Active tourers requiring significant storage for bicycles or outdoor equipment.
- • Drivers seeking a higher-output 170BHP engine for motorway or hilly terrain.
Reasons to consider it
- • The 170BHP engine provides higher torque than standard entry-level powerplants.
- • The 3500kg MTPLM allows for a wide range of drivers without licence upgrades.
- • High-gloss cabinetry and L-shaped lounge offer a contemporary interior feel.
What to check
- • Inspect the rear garage for signs of heavy use or weight-related wear.
- • Test the multi-position settings of the electric drop-down bed.
- • Ensure the Grade 3 insulation seals are intact for winter touring.
- • Verify the functionality of the 145-litre fridge/freezer and oven.
Worth knowing: Confirm the specific gearbox type as both manual and automatic options exist. Check the remaining payload after accounting for the solar panel and reversing camera. Verify the operation of the electric bed mechanism during viewing.
Compare the Benimar Tessoro 487 170BHP with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Benimar Tessoro 487 170BHP | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.94 m | £52,000 to £78,000 |
| Benimar Primero P286 | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.99 m | £52,000 to £72,000 |
| Benimar Tessoro T483 | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.70 m | £52,000 to £78,000 |
The Benimar Tessoro 487 170BHP sits in a competitive price bracket between 52000 and 78000. Compared to its siblings like the T483 or T413, it offers a specific balance of a 6.94m length and a high-output engine. While the T487 focuses on a large rear garage and lounge-centric layout, buyers must weigh the 435kg payload against their storage needs, as other models in the range offer different length and weight distributions on the same 3500kg chassis.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the internal garage access for retrieving gear during inclement weather.
- Regularly cycle the electric bed to ensure the multi-position tracks remain clear.
- Monitor the 145-litre fridge power consumption when off-grid.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overloading the rear garage, which can affect the 3500kg MTPLM limit.
- • Neglecting to check the solar panel output during periods of low sun.
Worth knowing: Payload is limited to 435kg; heavy garage items will impact legal towing and driving weights. The 2.89m height requires careful route planning for low bridges.
