    Is the Rapido 696F 140BHP Auto a practical choice?

    The Rapido 696F 140BHP Auto is a 7.49m low-profile motorhome designed for two to four people. It balances a 3500kg MTPLM with a 425kg payload, making it accessible for B licence holders. The layout features a 160cm wide island bed and a 9-speed automatic transmission, catering to those seeking a refined driving experience and a spacious rear sleeping area.

    • Fiat Ducato chassis with 140BHP engine and 9-speed automatic gearbox.
    • Island bed layout with electric height adjustment and 160cm width.
    • Smart Lounge face-to-face seating area for social space.
    • Independent shower and toilet facilities for privacy.
    • Large rear garage with dual-side access.

    Worth knowing: The drop-down bed area may feel restricted for taller occupants. High demand can limit availability in the used market.

    Buying a Rapido 696F 140BHP Auto

    Who it suits

    • • Couples seeking a 160cm wide island bed and a spacious lounge.
    • • Drivers with a standard B licence who require a 3500kg MTPLM.
    • • Tourists planning year-round trips who benefit from insulated tanks.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • The 140BHP engine and automatic gearbox provide a balanced driving experience.
    • • Flexible storage is provided by the height-adjustable rear garage.
    • • The dual-partition washroom separates the shower from the toilet.

    What to check

    • • Verify the operation of the electric height adjustment on the island bed.
    • • Test the 9-speed automatic gearbox for smooth shifting.
    • • Inspect the heated and insulated waste water tank for year-round suitability.

    Worth knowing: Payload is 425kg; ensure this accommodates all passengers and equipment. Check the specific trim and year as specifications can vary.

    The Rapido 696F 140BHP Auto sits in a competitive 7.49m class alongside models like the Bailey Adamo 75 4i and Mobilvetta Kea 80. While all these models share a 3500kg MTPLM, the Rapido distinguishes itself with its specific 160cm island bed and 9-speed automatic transmission. The choice between these models often depends on the preference for French design versus the specific layout variations found in the Adamo or Kea ranges.

    Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

    Ownership and Maintenance Tips

    • Utilise the electric height adjustment on the bed to optimise garage space for bikes.
    • Monitor the 3500kg MTPLM to ensure compliance with standard driving licences.
    • Make use of the dual-access garage for easier loading of outdoor gear.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Overloading the rear garage beyond the remaining 425kg payload capacity.
    • • Neglecting to check the height clearance of 2.9m when navigating low bridges.

    Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact payload before adding heavy accessories like bike racks.
