BENIMAR MILEO 294

The cleverly designed washroom is just one of this 'van's many plus points, says Peter Baber
BENIMAR MILEO 294

Benimar only slightly refreshed its Mileo range for the 2024 season, but as the brand, sold exclusively through the Marquis Leisure network, remains one of the most popular on UK roads, we revisited the island-bed 294. We saw it at Marquis’s Preston branch.

The striking Benimar looks are still there, with the mostly black cab and black decals trailing down the side, contrasting with a bright stripe.

This is a standard Ducato cab, with central drinks holders and handbrake to the right of the driver’s seat, leaving the aisle clear for anyone wanting to walk back and down one step into the front lounge, where a forward-facing bench holds two travel seats.

The cushions on both seats and the side settee look a bit slab-like, but the seats are comfortable, in a smart black, white and blue colour combination.

The chunky table has a swing-out extension, so it can be reached from any of the seats. With USBs and a 12V socket close to the swivelled driver’s seat, this table could easily double up as a desk for a digital nomad.

The TV sockets and bracket are by the door. A set placed there could be seen by anyone in the cab seats.
