The Benimar Tessoro 494 is a four berth motorhome measuring 7.39m in length, built on a Ford Transit chassis. It features a popular island bed and electric drop-down bed layout, offering a 445kg payload within a 3500kg MTPLM. With prices ranging from 52000 to 82000, it provides a high standard specification including solar panels and a touchscreen infotainment system.

Compare the Benimar Tessoro 494 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Benimar Tessoro 494 | 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 494 sits in a competitive price bracket between 52000 and 82000, offering a 7.39m length that is consistent with several alternatives like the T840 and T861. While it shares the 3500kg MTPLM common to this class, its specific appeal lies in the combination of the 170bhp Ford engine and the versatile island bed layout. Buyers should weigh the 445kg payload against their touring requirements compared to slightly shorter or longer models in the Tessoro range.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the dual-side garage doors to distribute heavy items evenly for better stability.
- Regularly clean the solar panels to maintain charging efficiency for the leisure battery.
- Monitor the 445kg payload carefully when adding personal gear and water.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Exceeding the 3500kg MTPLM by over-loading the large rear garage.
- • Miscalculating clearance for the 2.89m height and 7.39m length in restricted areas.
Worth knowing: Ensure the vehicle is level before operating the electric drop-down bed mechanism.
