We are selling our Benimar Tessoro T496, which is based on a Ford Transit. This RV has served us well and was a beloved companion on various trips; as a result, we’ve taken good care of it and kept it in excellent condition. It wasn’t in use during the winter months, and whenever it wasn’t being used, it was stored in a protected garage. However, we’ve since upgraded to a larger model, so this vehicle is now for sale.
