About the Chausson 640 First Line 130BHP

The Chausson 640 First Line 130BHP is a masterclass in space management, packing the amenities of a much larger vehicle into a maneuverable sub-7-meter frame. Built on a dependable Ford Transit chassis, it replaces the traditional fixed bed with an oversized electric drop-down bed that lowers from the ceiling. This design choice opens up a massive 'Smart Lounge' featuring face-to-face sofas, creating a social hub that feels incredibly airy and modern for a low-profile motorhome.

Beyond the living area, the 640 is distinguished by its full-width rear washroom, which includes a separate shower and an expansive dressing area with a double wardrobe. The large rear garage is accessible from both sides, providing ample storage for outdoor gear without compromising the interior flow. Because it remains under the 3,500kg weight limit, it is an accessible choice for any driver with a standard UK Category B license.
