- Truma Combi 6kW heating system for all-season use.
- Built on a Fiat Ducato chassis with a 3500kg MTPLM.

Buying a Benimar Mileo 264
Who it suits
- Couples seeking a permanent domestic-style island bed with separate washroom facilities.
- Small families who require the flexibility of a second drop-down bed without losing lounge space.
- Drivers restricted to a 3500kg licence who still want a vehicle over 7 metres in length.
Reasons to consider it
- The L-shape lounge and adjustable dining table provide a modern, flexible living area.
- High standard specification often includes solar panels and reversing cameras.
- The 385kg payload is manageable for a 3500kg vehicle of this size.
What to check
- Confirm the operation of the electric drop-down bed mechanism.
- Inspect the rear garage for any signs of heavy use or weight-related wear.
- Verify the service history of the Fiat Ducato chassis and the Truma 6kW heating system.
Worth knowing: Payload is 385kg; buyers should calculate the weight of added accessories like solar panels or extra batteries. The 2.89m height and 7.39m length require careful route planning for low bridges or narrow lanes.

| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Benimar Mileo 264 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.39 m | £45,000 to £78,000 |

The Benimar Mileo 264 occupies a competitive position in the 7.4m island bed market. While the Elnagh Baron 530 offers a lower entry price point starting at 42000, the Mileo 264 provides a high standard specification including a 6kW heating system. Compared to the Benimar Tessoro T840, which shares the 7.39m length and 3500kg MTPLM, the Mileo 264 focuses on the island bed layout rather than alternative sleeping configurations. It remains a balanced choice for those prioritising a fixed rear bedroom and a garage within a standard car-licence weight limit.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 3500kg MTPLM to ensure the vehicle can be driven on a standard Category B licence.
- Regularly test the Truma Combi 6kW system on both gas and electric settings to ensure year-round readiness.
- Monitor the 7.39m length when booking ferry crossings or campsites, as some pitches have 7m limits.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the swing of the rear overhang when turning in tight spaces.
- Exceeding the rear garage weight limit, which can affect front-axle traction.
Worth knowing: The 385kg payload can be quickly consumed by water, fuel, and four passengers.
Alternatives to the Benimar Mileo 264
- Benimar Tessoro T463 - The Tessoro T463 offers a slightly longer 7.43m body for those seeking a different layout within the same 3500kg weight limit.
