This 2016 Benimar Mileo 231 is a fantastic choice if you’re looking for a motorhome that’s easy to drive, easy to park and genuinely comfortable to spend time in. With only 30,852 miles on the clock, it’s been lightly used and well cared for, and it’s ready to head straight out on your next adventure.
At just 5.99 metres in length, this is one of those motorhomes that really does give you the best of both worlds. You get the solid feel and comfort of a coachbuilt motorhome, but with much more car-like handling, making it far less intimidating for new motorhomers and ideal for narrow roads, town centres and smaller campsites. It also helps keep ferry and storage costs down, which is always a bonus.
Inside, the layout works beautifully for couples. The rear French bed gives you a permanent, comfortable sleeping area so there’s no need to make up beds each night, and the washroom is right next to it, complete with toilet, sink and shower, giving you a very practical and private setup. Up front, the lounge is a lovely place to relax, read, eat or plan the next day’s route, and with four seatbelts it’s also great if you occasionally travel with family or friends, while still being a true two-berth when it’s time to settle in for the night.
Driving and touring are made even more enjoyable thanks to cruise control for relaxed motorway journeys, a reversing camera to take the stress out of parking and tight campsite pitches, and a wind-out awning that quickly creates a brilliant outdoor living space on sunny days. Benimar are well known for their strong build quality and clever use of space, and the Mileo range in particular has a great reputation for comfortable, year-round touring.
Overall, this is a lovely example of a compact coachbuilt motorhome with a fixed bed, low mileage and a very usable specification. Whether you’re planning weekends away, longer UK tours or European road trips, this Benimar Mileo 231 is the kind of motorhome that’s easy to live with and easy to fall in love with, and it’s ready to start making memories straight away.
