Is the Chausson 640 Ultimate Line a practical choice for touring?
The Chausson 640 Ultimate Line is a 6.99 metre motorhome that prioritises open-plan living by replacing a fixed bed with an electric drop-down system. Built on a Ford or Fiat chassis, it features a 3500kg MTPLM and a 446kg payload. The layout is defined by a large front lounge and a boutique-style rear dressing room, making it a highly efficient use of space for up to 4 people.
- Smart Lounge featuring face-to-face seating and ISOFIX points.
- Extra-wide 160cm electric drop-down ceiling bed.
- Full-width rear washroom with a separate grand shower and dressing area.
- Heated garage with twin-door access and an internal hatch.
- Technibox for centralised management of vehicle utilities.
Worth knowing: The electric bed may block the main entrance door when fully lowered to its lowest position. Payload capacity of 446kg requires careful management if carrying full water tanks and heavy gear. Daily conversion is required as there is no permanent fixed bed in the living area.
Buying a Chausson 640 Ultimate Line
Who it suits
- Couples who desire a large dressing room and a spacious lounge without the length of an A-Class vehicle.
- Small families requiring up to 4 berths within a sub-7 metre footprint.
- Drivers limited to a 3500kg MTPLM licence who still want a high-specification interior.
Reasons to consider it
- It offers an incredible sense of interior space for a vehicle measuring 6.99 metres.
- The 160cm wide drop-down bed provides a larger sleeping surface than many standard motorhome beds.
- The heated garage and Technibox system simplify utility management and gear storage.
What to check
- Verify the exact furniture finish and fabric, as Ultimate Line models feature exclusive interior styling.
- Inspect the garage dimensions to ensure your specific outdoor equipment fits through the twin-door access.
- Test the ISOFIX points in the Smart Lounge if you intend to travel with young children.
Worth knowing: Confirm the specific chassis (Ford or Fiat) as this affects the driving experience and engine specifications. Check the operation of the electric bed to ensure it meets your accessibility requirements.

| Auto-Trail F Line F68 | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.82 m | £58,000 to £76,000 |
The Chausson 640 Ultimate Line sits in a competitive price bracket between 58000 and 82000. Compared to the Benimar Primero P286, it offers a higher level of interior trim and the specific Ultimate Line styling. While the Bailey Adamo 69 4 and Auto-Trail F Line F68 offer similar 3500kg weights and 4-berth layouts, the Chausson is distinguished by its 160cm wide bed and the specific configuration of its rear dressing room and walk-in garage. It remains a benchmark for the drop-down bed layout in the sub-7 metre category.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the Technibox for routine checks of your water and electrical systems from one central point.
- Ensure the panoramic skylight seals are inspected regularly to maintain the cabin's natural light and weatherproofing.
- When parking, account for the 2.35 metre width and 2.92 metre height, especially in restricted rural areas.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Forgetting that the drop-down bed must be raised to fully utilise the lounge space during the day.
- Overloading the rear garage, which can impact the 3500kg MTPLM and vehicle handling.
Worth knowing: The 446kg payload is calculated before adding optional extras; always weigh the vehicle when fully loaded.
