Our Benimar Dicar Cocoon 483 (built in 2019, but still as new) is the ideal compact mobile home to go on an adventure in comfort with family, friends or just the two of you. With a length of only 6599 + 400 or 900 mm (with folded or unfolded bicycle rack) and a width of 2313 mm you can park or maneuver almost anywhere and with a height of 2890 mm and maximum weight of 3500 kg over and under virtually all bridges, tunnels and roads.
We chose this camper model because of the luxury of a large open seating area instead of having to carry a separate bedroom (lift-down bed above table). This means you also sleep in a spacious, airy room at night. This is one of the few campers with a rear window that gives you the feeling of driving a normal car.
