Is the Benimar Tessoro T840 a practical four-berth motorhome?
The Benimar Tessoro T840 is a 7.39m low-profile motorhome built on a Ford Transit chassis, offering flexible sleeping for three to four people. It features a rear twin bed layout and an electric drop-down bed, supported by a 3500kg MTPLM. With prices ranging from 52000 to 78000, it provides a high-specification interior including a 140L fridge and a large rear garage.

- Electric drop-down guest bed positioned above the front lounge.
- Kitchen equipped with a 140L fridge/freezer and separate cooler drawer.

While it shares the 3500kg MTPLM common to this class, its 170bhp Ford engine is a distinct standard feature compared to some rivals. The choice between these models often rests on the preference for the Spanish design of the Benimar versus the different interior layouts of the Rapido or Auto-Trail.
