Changes and improvements to the French manufacturer's motorhome models do not have a revolutionary dimension in the upcoming season, but it is worth highlighting a few visual and functional modifications, as well as getting to know the limited series of vehicles with extremely rich equipment. We invite you to read!

Rapido, as a brand aspiring to become a premium manufacturer, has been delighting with its modern design, top-notch constructions and... refined furniture style for many years. The latter aspect is "cut" like a diamond in each subsequent collection. Minimalist, elegant and, despite the vehicles' South European origin, truly "Scandinavian" design and modernity are impressive. In the Luceo color combination, bright, matte fronts with a wood texture and contrasting elements in black (e.g. table edges, panels behind the cookers) combined with a well-thought-out play of lights clearly show that quality is not spared here. Of course, instead of the Luceo composition, customers (except the Distinction series) can choose the classic and unflaggingly popular Nacarat composition at no extra charge.

Rapido - news and changes

On the Rapido 8F and 80dF models, the matte black grille of the front bonnet adds a predatory character. In addition, black and matte color accents perfectly match the white exterior walls. The relatively recently introduced model 854F with a salon in the rear of the vehicle received a real U-shaped bench seat, an electrically lowered bed and a shelf with a passenger seat.

In the Rapido C50 model, i.e. the most compact semi-integrated bed with a centrally located French bed, an adjustable mattress grate is used - the raised headboard allows you to move the entire bed slightly more towards the rear wall - in such a compact vehicle, this translates into additional living space during the day - a solution definitely a plus. The C-series, 6F-series and campervans are "changing" to another base vehicle - it will be the Peugeot Boxer. Only customers ordering the variant with automatic transmission will have access to the Fiat Ducato.

Ultimate Line – an attractive package of benefits

Traditionally, Rapido includes a series of models with the designation "Ultimate Line" (some systems will be available only in this version). In the upcoming season, the package of benefits will include, among others, a heated table leg (integrated, does not apply to height-adjustable tables), an integrated vacuum cleaner, a Truma 6EH heating system (electric and gas), an insulated and heated gray water tank, dimmers to obtain a wide spectrum of scenes lighting in the living room and bedroom, as well as numerous exterior and interior accents with the emblem of the series and 16-inch alloy wheels. Noteworthy is also the pleasant to the touch and easy to maintain TEP upholstery - a fabric with a layer of polyamide.

The bathroom looks elegant and almost magical - a wall decor made of wood in a yacht style, a white shower tray with a black, matte insert, a back-lit shower column in brushed aluminum colors, a magnetically closed shower cabin door with a black, matte frame. As part of the Ultimate Line, 2 semi-integrated vehicles will be available - 666F and 696F, as well as five integrated motorhomes (8066dF, 8096dF, i66, i96 and i190 respectively).

Summary

In the 2023 collection, Rapido focused on polishing existing models, resigning from revolutionary changes. It's hard to accuse the manufacturer of this - even campervans will benefit from the refined interiors and colors. Rapido revised the selection of models and layouts and gave up a few that were slightly less popular. Such changes will certainly help to optimize production processes. If you would like to learn more or see Rapido motorhomes live, the official representatives of the Rapido group invite you to contact:
CamelCamp - Camel Camp company from Poznań
m-Camp – the m-Camp company from Dzierżoniów
In addition to the sale of Rapido vehicles, both dealers also run authorized brand services.

I feel best in the form of trade fairs and meetings with enthusiasts. Technical freak. In my life I have dismantled many motorhomes for the first time. Fan of large vehicles, mountain biking and traveling without weight and financial restrictions. At CampRest, I am responsible for all publications on automotive topics.

America by car, part 10/10 - Heading back to LA
On Friday we spent the night in Santa Maria , which we chose for our final drive - heading (back) to Los Angeles, for one serious reason - SHOPPING. Here the girls spotted their TJ Maxxx. Saturday, May 9, 2009 was actually our last full day in the states. Luckily, it was also the last day of the shopping frenzy ... In the morning, we went very smoothly in the shopping center and punctually at 2 p.m. - as we had previously assumed (i.e. we gently forced on girls who could do shopping like this for the rest of their lives) - we set off towards Los Angeles, specifically to the spot we had chosen almost two weeks earlier - Santa Monica . It was the last 170 miles on the road - quite nice road, in beautiful scenery (partly along the beaches) - first along their Interstate, then along a scenic mountain road, back to the coast. In the elite Malibu , we made a lunch on the beach - delicious sushi cut into the landscape known from the series "Baywatch - Sunny Patrol" (next to it, Pamela in an orange suit was running everywhere). Only the girls complained a bit when it was cold (for them it is probably not warm enough even at 30 degrees Celsius ...), so we did not extend our lunch and we went to Santa Monica. Leaving Malibu, we had a second traffic jam during our trip (the first one was on the way from Vegas to Hoover's Dam - about 45 minutes) - we rolled slowly all the way to the great beaches in Santa Monica. We logged in right in the center - on the promenade, almost overlooking the sea. Unfortunately, at the same time, it was the most expensive accommodation in the whole event - $ 137 after negotiations. However, this is nothing, because it was supposed to be (and was) - the last night - so we decided to go crazy! We packed our stuff, went to the pier and let the atmosphere carry us away. In an amusement park arranged on a pier, we got a taste of the roller-coaster (I guess that's what you say?) And the elevator launched upwards. We were also supposed to taste the Budweiser, but as soon as I fired it - despite the black foil bag - a huge black policewoman appeared from nowhere and took me to the trash with it. After a hearty dinner in the restaurant on the pier, a walk, we went to a well-deserved rest. It's been a pleasure ... after two weeks in the states - we are losing our native language ... Of course, this is not what Edyta Górniak did - we will not sing the national anthem ...
