Benimar - what does 'UP' mean?

[Miggs]

I've shortlisted the 463 for our next van, just curious what the 'UP' means on some of them.
Also some are called T463 as well?
Can anyone enlighten me?
Also, anyone had any horror stories with these?

I think the UP is a Spanish model/ version.

The 463 is a Benimar Tessoro 463, so 463 or T463

Also, anyone had any horror stories

Do you mean benimars in general or this model?

Had a 282 for 2 years. No issues. Traded for a new Adria Twin. Adria quality shocking, been back to dealers 5 times over 2 years for repairs. Still outstanding issues. I still prefer the Twin layout etc but miss the quality of the Benimar, never thought I’d be saying that.

Just adding my twopeneth having spent two or three hours waiting at a Motorhome Dealer that had a. Number of models on display and l had time for a good browse.
l was very impressed with the quality of the build and the quality of the fittings including the flat glass type windows that really set them off,the variety of internal design was quite refreshing and different from the norm.

Up usually means it has a pop top with a double bed

In general I suppose.
The Mileo 263 is similar but on a Fiat. I think I prefer the Ford even though cab is a little more cramped.

I think I have deduced that the 'UP' has a different lounge arrangement.

Think the Up version comes with balloons to help improve the load carrying capacity

We had a benimar Mileo from 2013 to 2017

We loved it. However some aspects of the build quality (specifically the joinery) were poor. This was made worse by Marquises abject attempts at rectifying it (doors literally flew off their hinges). Turned out OK in the end

Saying that though, they look much better now and I would have another benimar without hesitation

We're on our second Tessoro 463. Current one is just over two years old now and no major problems, couple of minor faults sorted out(eventually) by the dealer(Caravanas Cruz in Elche).
From memory the UP model is a slightly more basic/budget version, if you download the Benimar Brochure you can check the difference in specification.
Need to keep an eye on payload, we manage to stay under but there's just the two of us and don't carry too much unnecessary weigh around.
Hope this helps and good luck.
