Your questions
Answers to the questions we are asked most often about the BÉO-41, buying one and looking after it.
Abéona
What is Abéona?
Abéona is the campervan brand of the Rebière Fiat dealership in Trélissac, France. We handbuild the BÉO-41 in small numbers: a 4-seat van on a Fiat Ducato.
Where can I buy a BÉO-41?
At the Rebière dealership showroom, 33 avenue de l'Automobile in Trélissac. You can also build your van in the configurator, then finalise it with us.
Can I see the van before buying?
Yes, at the showroom in Trélissac, preferably by appointment. You can also meet us at the Vanlife Expo in Bordeaux on 14 and 15 November 2026.
The BÉO-41
What base vehicle is it built on?
A 5.99 m Fiat Ducato, with the 140 hp engine and manual gearbox or the 180 hp engine and automatic gearbox.
How many seats and berths?
4 travel seats, including a 2-seat Isofix bench. It sleeps 2 in the 140 × 190 cm fixed rear bed, and 2 more with the optional pop-up roof.
Can I travel in winter?
Yes. The Truma D4 diesel heater warms the living area and the water, the insulation is reinforced and the waste water tank has a frost-protection heater. The optional D4E heater also runs on mains electricity.
Can it go off-grid?
It carries a 100 Ah lithium battery, charged while driving by a 30 A DC-DC charger, and 112 L of fresh water. Options: a 175 W solar panel, a 200 Ah battery and a 1,600 W inverter.
Is it easy to drive?
Yes. More compact than a motorhome, it copes with town centres and narrow roads. A reversing camera, blind-spot and rear obstacle detection come as standard.
What driving licence do I need?
A standard car licence (category B) covers a gross vehicle weight of up to 3.5 t. We confirm the weight of your configuration before you order.
Buying
How much does it cost?
From €69,000 with the 140 hp engine and manual gearbox, and from €74,660 with the 180 hp engine and automatic gearbox. The 22 options range from €335 to €8,795: the configurator works out the total. Prices include VAT, excluding delivery and registration costs.
How long does it take?
About 5 months: 3 months of building in the workshop, then 2 months of type approval. A BÉO-41 may be available from stock: feel free to get in touch.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, we offer financing options suited to your plans. Contact us for an estimate.
Can I customise the conversion?
The BÉO-41 has a standard layout that you adapt with 22 options: windows, power, comfort, alarm. We do not build fully bespoke conversions.
Servicing and warranty
What is the warranty?
The conversion comes with a full one-year warranty.
Where can I have the van serviced?
The Fiat Ducato can be serviced at any approved Fiat workshop, including ours in Trélissac. The conversion is looked after by our own workshop: one point of contact for both.
Can I follow the build?
Yes. By appointment, you can visit the workshop while your van is being built, and receive progress photos if you like.
