Rapido 854F – an impressively comfortable integrated

Can a motorhome give a substitute for the convenience that a caravan can give us with its layouts and at the same time offer space for luggage? For several years, a trend has been noticeable in many manufacturers to integrate comfortable living rooms with U-shaped sofas. Especially in the premium segment and in large "cruisers" such systems are becoming more and more popular among customers. The French manufacturer Rapido also has an interesting proposition here - the 854F model is by all means unconventional, but also extremely comfortable and well thought out.

Rapido 854F - small on the outside, big on the inside

The height of the car is 289 cm, width - 235 cm, and the total length is 670 cm. The car is equipped with 4 seats with seat belts, but in practice it can be used by more people. Seven can sit comfortably at the table, and we can find sleeping places for as many as six! How it's possible? Well, the sofas in the living room, when unfolded, will give us a sleeping surface of 150x200 cm. An optional 140 x 195 cm drop-down bed can be placed above the living room. As befits a real integrated, of course, above the driver's seat we have one more lowerable bed measuring 140x191 cm (electrically lowered).

At the very back, behind the sofa, cabinets adjoin the living room - we have both a classic wardrobe and a segment with shelves, but also an elegant, illuminated glass-case in the middle. An additional, substantial space for bedding or luggage can be found under the right sofa of the living room - it is a very practical solution.

The kitchen deserves attention - a two-burner gas cooker, a sink and a 128-liter fridge are standard. An optional oven can be ordered. Between the kitchen and the living room at the back we have an L-shaped table top, and the raised counter is removable. This gives us additional space to prepare meals, set plates, drinks or snacks. The interior is bright thanks to the large side windows.

The TV holder was placed at the entrance - the screen is therefore clearly visible from the sofas in the living room. In the case of the bathroom, due to the compact nature of the vehicle, the manufacturer resigned from a separate shower cabin and opted for the DUO'SPACE concept, proven in many models. This means that the functions of the toilet, sink and shower are combined in one room separated by a hinged wall.

Rapido 854F - a companion for every trip

A 110x61 cm service hatch located on the right side provides convenient access to the garage at the back. On the opposite side we also have a revision with access to the garage, but its dimensions are much more modest and amount to 36x66 cm. The internal dimensions of the garage are 121x58 cm - so it can even accommodate bicycles, a table or camping chairs.

The gas reservoir is 2 standard, large propane cylinders - enough for longer escapades in the colder months. The motorhome takes 120 liters of clean water on board and will accept the same amount of gray water - these are decent parameters. In the transport setting, the clean water tank can be filled with 20 liters of water. The advanced Truma Combi 6 CP Plus system is responsible for heating in the 854F model.

In terms of colors, we have a choice of a new Luceo composition or a classic, well-known and liked by customers Nacarat variant. The base vehicle is the latest Fiat Ducato with 140 or 160 horsepower, and you can choose between a manual or automatic gearbox and a number of safety systems.
