What makes the Chausson 640 Titanium unique?
The Chausson 640 Titanium is a 6.99-metre motorhome that replaces fixed beds with a 160cm wide electric drop-down bed to maximise living space. Built on a 170bhp Ford Transit chassis with an automatic gearbox, it features a SmartLounge, a full-width rear washroom, and a large heated garage. It is designed for those seeking a spacious open-plan layout within a 3500kg MTPLM.
- Innovative SmartLounge with face-to-face seating and ISOFIX points.

- Full-width rear washroom including a separate shower and dressing area.
- Heated Easy Garage with twin access doors and electrical outlets.
- Built on a Ford Transit chassis with automatic transmission as standard.
Worth knowing: The drop-down bed mechanism restricts access to the lounge area when in use. Payload may be limited if the vehicle is heavily optioned with additional accessories.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chausson 640 Titanium | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.99 m | £52,000 to £78,000 |

The Chausson 640 Titanium is a specialist in space optimisation, using its 6.99m length to provide a lounge and washroom typically found in much larger vehicles. While alternatives like the Benimar Primero P286 or the Chausson 640 First Line offer similar dimensions and weight profiles, the Titanium edition distinguishes itself with the 170bhp engine and automatic transmission as standard. It remains a competitive choice for those who value an open-plan living area over a dedicated fixed bedroom.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance
- Utilise the twin access doors in the garage to balance weight distribution of stored items.
- Regularly test the programmable fuel-driven heating system to ensure year-round comfort.
- Ensure the 160cm bed path is clear of obstructions before operating the electric motor.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 446kg payload by installing too many heavy aftermarket accessories.
- Attempting to use the lounge seating while the electric bed is fully lowered.
Worth knowing: The 2.92m height requires careful route planning for low bridges and height-restricted areas. The 2.35m width should be considered when navigating narrow UK lanes.
