Rapido at the Motorhome & Caravan Show
The October show at the NEC, Birmingham will be your first chance to see most of the 2016 motorhome launches, including those from French manufacturer Rapido.
On display will be a 665F which is a 7.4m low profile coachbuilt with a rear bathroom, two single beds and now, Alde heating as standard. As twin-bed layouts are proving popular with British buyers, Rapido has responded with a 7m long, twin-bed 855F that features a separate shower off the washroom. You’ll also be able to see the new 80DF which is an 8-series model with a double floor for better insulation and an ALKO chassis.
British specials are to the fore in the shape of the 600FF, a compact coachbuilt with a large front lounge; the 9048DF and the 9094DF which has a huge L-shaped rear lounge.
For Rapido’s Itineo range there will be three vehicles, the SB740 with a front lounge with facing seats, a kitchen and separate toilet and shower in the middle, and another small lounge at the rear, designated for children; then the two 6m long models, the LB600 and FB600, one with a corner bed and another with a spacious lounge.
Lastly, there will be panel van conversions in the new Dreamer range, that will be shown at the show.
The September issue of Which Motorhome has extensive coverage of all the 2016 releases and the November issue of MMM will carry a special launch supplement.
