| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rapido Le Randonneur | 6 | 3500 kg | 6.00 m | £20,000 to £75,000 |

The Rapido Le Randonneur occupies a broad market segment with prices ranging from 20000 to 75000. While it shares a 3500kg MTPLM with alternatives like the Swift Sundance and Elddis Autoquest, it distinguishes itself through Rapido-specific construction techniques and a 600kg payload. The 6m length is competitive, though buyers must weigh the premium build quality against the potentially higher price point compared to some entry-level rivals.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
