Benimar Tessoro T487 - 2023

This 4-berth Benimar Tessoro T487 is made for families and couples who love their space but want the option to bring the grandchildren along for the ride now and again. Step inside and you’re welcomed by a bright, open-plan lounge — a proper space to kick back, put your feet up, and truly unwind. With two long sofas, it’s bigger than you’d expect and perfect for stretching out after a day of exploring. But it’s not just for relaxing — this space is your dining room, games night hub, and evening movie spot all rolled into one. There’s plenty of room for the family to gather, whether it’s for breakfast with a view, colouring with the kids, or catching up over a bottle of wine. And when the day winds down, this area effortlessly transforms into your bedroom. The electric drop-down bed lowers with ease, and the sofas can be adapted to create an extra bed — ideal for guests. With four seatbelts, including two fold-down travel seats with ISOFIX, you can travel in comfort and safety, no matter who’s joining the adventure.

The kitchen is brilliantly thought out for cooking on the go. There’s a microwave for quick meals, an extractor fan, a large fridge freezer to keep everything fresh, a built-in waste bin to keep things tidy, and a full-length pull-out larder — everything you need to keep the cupboards stocked and mealtimes easy. Whether it’s bacon butties in the morning or pasta and wine after a day’s exploring, you’ve got everything to hand. The en-suite is a dream for anyone who wants home comforts while camping. There’s a spacious walk-in shower, an opening window for fresh air, and a huge amount of storage including open shelving, a mirrored cupboard with pull-out racks, and even direct access to the garage — perfect for your belongings without going outside.

Speaking of the garage — it’s huge. Heated, lit, and fitted with power sockets, it’s ideal for storing everything from outdoor furniture and BBQs to paddleboards and bikes, with twin access doors including a ski locker hatch for longer items. A fitted bike rack makes it easy to bring the bikes along, while the integrated awning creates an instant outdoor living space. There’s a flyscreen on the entrance door to keep the bugs out and a full blackout system inside so you can enjoy lazy mornings and cosy evenings. Tech-wise, you’re covered inside and out. A TV point is ready for your screen of choice, there’s an external BBQ point for al fresco cooking, and the living space is kept cool thanks to an onboard air conditioning unit. Up front in the cab, you’ll find air conditioning, cruise control, steering wheel controls, a DAB radio, sat nav, and a reversing camera — all designed to make the drive as relaxed as the stay.
