    Is the Rapido 696F 65th Anniversary the right motorhome for you?

    The Rapido 696F 65th Anniversary is a 7.49m low-profile motorhome designed for four people, featuring a high-specification 140BHP automatic drivetrain and a luxury island bed layout. It balances a sociable face-to-face lounge with premium anniversary-edition finishes, though buyers must manage a 405kg payload within its 3500kg MTPLM.

    • Four-berth capacity with a 160cm wide XXL king-size rear island bed and electric drop-down double bed.
    • Fiat Ducato 140BHP engine paired with a 9-speed automatic gearbox.
    • Face-to-face Smart Lounge configuration with a folding table and exclusive anniversary upholstery.
    • Kitchen equipped with a large fridge-freezer and worktop extension.
    • Separate shower and toilet areas designed to create a private en-suite.

    Worth knowing: The 405kg payload may be restrictive when travelling with four adults and full equipment. A total length of 7.49m requires careful navigation in narrow environments.

    Buying a Rapido 696F 65th Anniversary 140BHP Auto

    Who it suits

    • • Couples seeking a permanent king-size island bed with occasional room for two guests.
    • • Drivers who prefer the ease of a 9-speed automatic transmission.
    • • Owners who value a sociable interior layout with the face-to-face lounge design.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • High-performance 140BHP engine and automatic gearbox as standard.
    • • Refined interior with bespoke anniversary furniture and soft-touch ceiling.
    • • Practical storage solutions including a large rear garage.

    What to check

    • • Verify the operation of the electric drop-down bed over the lounge.
    • • Inspect the 65th Anniversary exclusive external graphics for condition.
    • • Confirm the presence of the built-in vacuum cleaner and premium sound system components.
    • • Check the functionality of the heated waste water tank for winter use.

    Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM is convenient for standard licences but necessitates strict monitoring of the 405kg payload. The 2.9m height and 7.49m length are significant dimensions for storage and rural driving.

    Compare the Rapido 696F 65th Anniversary 140BHP Auto with similar models

    The Rapido 696F 65th Anniversary occupies a specific niche, offering a 7.49m length and 3500kg MTPLM that matches several other Rapido models like the 666F and 8096 DF. While it shares its dimensions with these alternatives, it distinguishes itself through the 140BHP automatic configuration and specific anniversary equipment. Compared to the Swift Voyager 494, it sits in a higher price bracket of 78000 to 94000, reflecting its French craftsmanship and exclusive interior finishes.

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

    Ownership and Maintenance Tips

    • Utilise the built-in vacuum cleaner regularly to maintain the premium anniversary upholstery.
    • Test the heated waste water tank before embarking on all-season or winter touring.
    • Ensure the folding table in the Smart Lounge is securely stowed before transit.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Exceeding the 3500kg MTPLM by over-loading the large rear garage.
    • • Underestimating the 2.35m width when navigating narrow UK lanes.

    Worth knowing: Payload calculations should include the weight of water and gas, which will further reduce the 405kg limit.
