Benimar Mileo 286

The 2018 Benimar Mileo 286 is a well-balanced four-berth, four-seat-belt coach-built motorhome offering compact dimensions and generous specification. Built on the Fiat Ducato base, it typically sports a diesel engine (for example a 2.3 L Multijet) and a 6-speed manual gearbox in its standard form. Measuring about 6.95 m in length and around 2.30 m in width, the layout is cleverly designed for comfortable daytime living and overnight sleeping for up to four. At the front is a spacious lounge with opposing sofas (and swivel cab seats), which converts into a double bed; above this sits an electric drop-down double bed that folds away when not in use. Towards the rear you’ll find a well-equipped galley kitchen, complete with a dual-fuel hob (gas/electric), oven/grill, sink, and a sizeable fridge-freezer unit. Opposite the kitchen lies the bathroom space, featuring a separate shower cubicle and swivel-toilet layout. With its Fiat chassis, the Mileo 286 benefits from car-licence compatibility (in many markets), familiar driving dynamics and solid foundation. It also comes with all-round practicality: flyscreens and blinds, solar panel, external BBQ/shower point, and a large garage for storage. In summary: the 2018 Benimar Mileo 286 combines compact dimensions with smart design and a strong specification, making it a very viable option for couples or small families seeking flexible touring without the bulk of a larger motorhome.
