    Front Lounge with Drop-Down Bed Motorhomes

    Last updated: 04 August 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    A versatile four berth motorhome on a Ford chassis.

    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.

    • Four berth capacity with a central island bed and electric drop-down double bed.
    • Built on a Ford Transit chassis featuring a 170bhp Euro 6 engine.
    • Spacious L-shaped lounge and kitchen area with separate shower and washroom.
    • Large rear garage equipped with dual-side access doors for storage.
    • High standard specification including solar panels and alloy wheels.

    Worth knowing: The 7.39m length requires careful navigation on narrow roads. Payload must be monitored closely when the vehicle is fully loaded to stay within the 3500kg limit.

    Buying a Benimar Tessoro 494

    Who it suits

    • • Families or couples who require separate sleeping areas and a spacious L-shaped lounge.
    • • Drivers who prefer the handling of a Ford Transit chassis with a 170bhp engine.
    • • Tourists planning year-round use who benefit from the Grade 3 insulation rating.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • It offers a comprehensive equipment list including solar panels as standard.
    • • The layout provides a permanent rear island bed without sacrificing garage storage space.
    • • The 3500kg MTPLM allows it to be driven on a standard UK car licence.

    What to check

    • • Test the operation of the electric drop-down bed and the height-adjustable rear island bed.
    • • Inspect the condition of the eco-leather upholstery and LED ambient lighting.
    • • Check the functionality of the touchscreen infotainment system and reversing camera.

    Worth knowing: Confirm the specific engine and gearbox configuration as automatic options vary. Verify the exact payload for the specific year and trim, as equipment levels affect available weight.

    Compare the Benimar Tessoro 494 with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Benimar Tessoro 49443500 kg7.39 m£52,000 to £82,000
    Benimar TESSORO T84043500 kg7.39 m£52,000 to £78,000
    Benimar Tessoro T46343500 kg7.43 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.
