Types of motorhomes learn to differentiate between them
The motorhome world is in expansion and there are more and more persons joining this community of those passionate for road trips and adventures. If you are thinking of acquiring a home on wheels to enter this world, you must forts know the different ranges and their characteristics, to discover which type of motorhome is the best for you and for your family.
From a two place vehicle, to a vehicle for large families, the great advantage of the Benimar universe is the variety when choosing the perfect transport for your trips.
Luton motorhomes
The Luton motorhome is the first thing that comes to our mind when we refer to a motorhome. These are characterised by a Luton head, meaning, the space that overhangs the driving cabin, where a large bed is located, that way increasing the number of sleeping places.
This type of motorhomes are perfect for families or large groups of friends, because they can have place for up to 7 persons, like our S323 model. They are designed to optimises the space of the occupiable space and the trunk, that way multiplying its capacity.
You can find this typology in the Benimar Sport range. Which is the best? There are models manufactured on Fiat and Ford chassis, so you can find the characteristics at design level and perfect fittings for you.
Low profile motorhomes have a design similar to that of the lutons. Their main difference resides in the roof bed they have, therefore the overhang of the motorhome is smaller that way enhancing the aerodynamics of the vehicle. Thanks to that they are more comfortable to drive and have lower fuel expense in the long run.
If you like this line of motorhomes the Tessoro and the Mileo are for you. In addition, both ranges have differences in both the engines, and the cabin and bodywork, which will help you to more easily find your perfect motorhome.

A-class are among the premium ranges of motorhomes. Why? Their screens occupy the upper half of the vehicle front, that way providing a panoramic view that facilitates driving. In addition, considering that the driving seat and that of the co-pilot are in the same vehicle cabin space, their design offers greater illumination to the entire space.
Another of their strong points is the space amplitude, because they are slightly wider vehicles than others. Discover our Amphitryon range to enjoy a model with all these characteristics.
Extendable motorhomes
Extendable motorhomes are those that have extendable devices to increase space of the motorhome when it is stopped. At Benimar we have vertically extendable models, meaning, motorhomes that have an elevatable roof, or pop-up, that adds another bedroom to the vehicle. This modification helps to multiply the occupiable space, and maintaining the same metres in length.
Camper motorhomes
A camper motorhome or camperised van is the perfect model for those persons that require driving facility, without sacrificing any element that any motorhome can have, like a toilet or spacious dining area.
On the other hand, due to their reduced dimensions and weight, they do not any authorisation for driving special vehicles, beyond that of B type license. Their interior and exterior design make this range the easiest to drive and handle, as well as the most economic in the long run, because of having the best aerodynamics among all the typologies with lowest average weight, these models tend to have less fuel expense regarding the average.
What is their strong point? Being a small vehicle, they can be used as a car for everyday use, that way reducing the monthly cost.
Classic motorhomes
The vintage style never passes and that means many motorhome lovers choose antique models to enjoy a good experience like an authentic Beatle in the purest hippie style.
Nevertheless... Have you ever thought of all what buying an antique model means? Science progresses and helps us to obtain new systems that not only protect us in the case of accidents, but also have less impact on the environment. If you love nature as much as we do, we recommend you leave the class style for the decoration of your vehicle, and obtain greater safety on the road.
In addition, the older your model, the higher maintenance costs involved. Therefore, investing in a new motorhome will mean savings in the long run.
Hybrid motorhomes
The world is changing and we become more aware of the need for change related to our carbon footprint. Hybrid motorhomes combine fuel with the electric energy of your energy, that way reducing the environmental impact of a road trip.
Therefore, our technical office continues studying the possibility of designing models with these characteristics, adapted to the budget of any Benilover.
