FIRST LOOK at Rapido's exciting NEW 2024 motorhome range, including Itineo

[@andy5786]

Rapido looks nice plenty of room in side comfort thanks for brilliant review 👍😊

[@MarkoPetejan]

Sadly while cooking (in Rapido), the ragu splatters nicely on the couch fabric. The stove should be on the left and sink on the right. Water is better than ragu...

[@tc2425]

Yes.....and a Vent for the stove ....all North American models must have Vent Exhaust Fan .....have not seen this in Europe

[@virginiahill7001]

Totally agree what are the designers thinking? 😊

[@Shirdimajid]

Spoiled prick😂

[@LightBeing369]

Easily remedied with a makeshift splash guard

[@markreeves515]

Great update Peter Good space in the c03 to have a full width garage in such a small motorhome .We have a C56 and noticed the kitchen area is smaller as we can fit a kettle by the side of the sink which is handy as you can still boil the kettle and wash up .Having steps to the bed is good as access to our transverse bed can be awkward .

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

I always liked the C56, esp as it's under 6m

[@sim_only]

I'm looking to replace my 2010 escape with something new. Peter, your vids are absolutely excellent to help me find the right one.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Don't forget our website, too - outandaboutlive.co.uk - and the magazines, MMM, Campervan and What Motorhome

[@snapdragon2441]

Yes, I wish they would put some kind of splash back at the side of these motor home layouts. Something you could put up and take down, wouldn’t cost much but would make a huge difference

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Maybe they'll listen and add for 2025 season

[@tc2425]

And small exhaust fan for the burner ....Mandatory in North America & Australia ...

[@MotorhomeZone]

I do like the bunk beds. Nice Layout.

[@MikeDuffy-fp4zy]

Looks fantastic, probably need a 606

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

I hope we'll get to fully test one in 2024!

[@robertbryant3805]

I couldn't imagine going on a 2 week holiday with 6 people in this it would be so cramped,I keep hearing the word space yeah for 2 people not a family.

[@marshalllucky]

What about the sooty and sweep motorhome ? they are kinda good ?

[@user-ml1hu3jr8l]

Hi Peter. Any plans to review the Dreamer/ Rapido V series campervans. I'd love to watch them. Thanks.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

This was the last Dreamer we tested - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6rEeqaBpt6taZI Did you see our report on the latest Rapido/Dreamer models? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4HOp56pq5Wcqrs Let's see what we're offered in 2024!

[@linningerwerner1044]

Super Video! Ich finde den C O3 einfach nur spitze. Nur 6 Meter 20 lang, per Stufen ins Bett, tolle Garage, superschmal, grosser KOMPRESSOR-Kühlschrank, Herd mit nur 2 Flammen, was viel vernünftiger ist, da dann auch Platz für die Töpfe ist, bei Fahrer und Beifahrersitz die Möglichkeit, die Füsse gerade auszustrecken, ect ect. Ein super Grundriss, optimal für ein Ehepaar. Aber das Enkelkind kann durch das Notbett auch mitgenommen werden. Einfach nur spitze.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Yes, we like the C03, too. A nice variation on this rear double bed layout. Great to see we have fans in Germany - hope you've subscribed!

Great Motorhome. Is this available with right hand steering wheel ?

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Yes, all the Rapido range is available with right-hand drive

[@karlospappy8908]

Good review Peter but kitchens possibly need a re think for me, swing wall in shower is a good idea. Did Rapido advise if chassis supply is getting better? Cheers K.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Chassis available is still very difficult

[@michaelmorley6522]

C03 and your star model on first impressions, hit the mark. Particularly like smaller models so C03. Will it come with the Fiat auto option I wonder?

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Yes, you can spec it as a Fiat auto

[@ck8832]

I wish we had vans like this in the states...

[@cocoino2307]

Can you not export it?

[@ck8832]

@@cocoino2307 I cant imagine the cost to have that shipped over the Atlantic.

[@Skyonroad000]

Mayenne is pretty north but still part of the Pays de la Loire region. Were you in Benet as well? I'd like to hear your opinion on the Fleurette/Florium 67 LO (same layout, same dimensions but a wow factor that got my wife completely in love with it 🙄).

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

My colleague went to Fleurette but I've always been pretty impressed with their vehicles. Less well known in the UK, with fewer dealers, though.

[@freduk5342]

Can the C03 optionally fit a drop down bed by any chance? Would be the ideal pocket family model if it does

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Sorry, no drop-down bed option

[@TimmysFavs]

The C03 must rate as one of the best in the 6m ish range, especially as it has that super garage. The Continental washrooms with the swing wall are brilliant so much better than the dreaded British shower curtain! I'm really taken with the 606F I'm pretty confident that it will be a very great success, ideal for a couple, a huge salon/lounge at the front, decent kitchen & luxurious washroom. Also it has a garage. I see one dealer is quoting in excess of £83 k for the automatic transmission version so it's not cheap but it does look the business.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

The 606F has just won Best Drop-Down Bed Motorhome 2024 - see www.outandaboutlive.co.uk/motorhomes/news/motorhome-awards-recognise-industrys-finest Sadly, £83 for an automatic good-quality motorhome is not unusual these days.

[@TimmysFavs]

@@MotorhomeCampervan The 83k+ price I saw at one dealership was for the C03 not the 606F so I expect it will be more expensive again.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

606F starts at £74,800 @@TimmysFavs

[@TimmysFavs]

@@MotorhomeCampervan Thanks, that's encouraging because we are looking to change in the new year.

[@peter428]

Unfortunately you never mentioned the prices of these Motorhomes … I wonder why 🤷🏼‍♂️ 😂

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

I always mention prices when we have them but at press launch events like this UK prices still haven't been set. The prices are only usually announced at the NEC show.

[@goldielocks2621]

SET is the appropriate word, how much more will we rob the Uk market. The extortionate prices now being ask by the Trade is crippling seconhand sales of Motorhomes in the private market. There is absolutely no evidence to justify the average £10K increase to the secondhand Van.

[@LuckyRufey]

Too short. Extra meter or 2 on the back makes such a difference and not any more difficult to handle. This is a weekend van.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

For some bigger will always be better but, personally, I couldn't disagree more. A nine-metre 'van is a handful in many situations (getting stocked up with shopping, for example) and simply a nightmare in places like Cornwall and The Lakes, unless you go everywhere by bike. Manufacturers all over Europe are discovering that sub-7m is an ideal size for most couples.

[@christbel4965]

Woow❤

[@virginiahill7001]

Can anyone tell me why most of the motor homes are white? Cars are not always white so I find it strange that most motor homes are basically white. Is white paint cheaper perhaps?

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

White reflects the heat when parked up. Other colours are available on van-based models and for the cabs of some coachbuilts and Adria does all-silver motorhomes (Supreme spec)

[@tc2425]

Peter the planet is warming up....Air Conditioning should become the standard....12V 24V or 230V

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

It's a dealer-fit option on almost any 'van. I wouldn't have it personally - it uses a lot of power and I prefer to open doors and windows!

[@tc2425]

@MotorhomeCampervan Last week in Corfu Greece & Sarande Albania was 105 F• in the Shade ...

[@7555mac]

using a small guy in these promos to make these rigs look bigger, no pillows or thicker back rests on living room couches to make that area look wider.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

At 5ft 10in, I don't consider myself to be small! As for pillows, etc, if they don't come with the 'van, why would we add them? These are genuine reviews, not funded by manufacturers, from the UK's leading motorhome publications.

[@goldielocks2621]

Hold onto your cash USED MOTORHOMES going down on price 2024.

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

The prices of new 'vans is likely to keep used prices up, so although there may be some adjustments, don't expect a price crash

[@larrylegs6012]

hardly indiscriminate review but like most so called reviews all on on a free jamboree - hard to resist i guess

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Free jamboree??!! You obviously don't work in this industry... All my reviews are based on 40 years of road testing experience and are completely unbiased.

[@iansimpson6300]

Lousy kitchen bit of a joke 😂

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

Sorry, what's lousy? The UK-spec 606F has a kitchen as good as any rival, while the C03 is typical of its type

[@orvilleclisby6748]

That's a better size than a coach bus motorhome parked in an English village. That wouldn't work at all. Back to the EU.

[@haroldguenther3317]

First and foremost you should let people know the price, watched a heap of these never a price?????

[@MotorhomeCampervan]

We always quote a price when it's a review of a specific model. When we attend a press preview like this no UK prices are available and they often aren't set for several months. Prices for all the 2024 season vehicles will be added to the Buyers Guide on our website as they become available - see outandaboutlive.co.uk
