If you’re new to motorhoming then there’s a strong chance some of the bigger vehicles available to Kiwi buyers might not be your cup of tea. Unless you and the family are going in boots-and-all and a full 7m-plus model is the only thing likely to accommodate you, these larger machines with their long rear overhangs can be a little intimidating at first.

The surprising thing (and there are a few surprises in store here) about the Benimar Mileo 202 is that it’s a four berth motorhome nestled within a 5.99m footprint. There is plenty of standard equipment on board, packed into a relatively small frame at a very attractive price.
