    Rear Island Bed Motorhomes

    Last updated: 03 September 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    Is the Rapido 686F 140BHP Auto a practical choice for touring?

    The Rapido 686F 140BHP Auto is a 7.2-metre low-profile motorhome that balances a luxury island bed layout with a 3500kg MTPLM. It is designed for couples or small families, featuring a 9-speed automatic transmission and a versatile Duo'Space washroom. While it offers a sophisticated Nacarat interior, buyers must manage the 435kg payload carefully when travelling with four people.

    • Fiat Ducato chassis with 140BHP Euro 6D engine and 9-speed automatic gearbox.
    • Island bed layout with a 150cm wide height-adjustable rear mattress.
    • Duo'Space washroom featuring a pivoting partition to separate the shower.
    • Face-to-face lounge seating with Nacarat furniture and glossy white doors.
    • 3500kg MTPLM allowing for use with a standard Category B driving licence.

    Worth knowing: The 435kg payload may be restrictive when the vehicle is used at its full 4-berth capacity. Headroom in the lounge is reduced when the optional electric drop-down bed is lowered.

    Buying a Rapido 686F 140BHP Auto

    Who it suits

    • • Couples seeking a permanent island bed without exceeding the 3500kg weight limit.
    • • Drivers who prefer the ease of a 9-speed automatic gearbox for long-distance touring.
    • • Owners who value French interior design, specifically the Nacarat furniture style.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • The 150cm wide island bed provides domestic-style sleeping comfort.
    • • The extra-wide rear track improves stability during motorway driving.
    • • The face-to-face lounge creates a more open social space than traditional side-dinettes.

    What to check

    • • Verify if the optional electric drop-down bed is fitted if four berths are required.
    • • Confirm the operation of the height-adjustable rear bed mechanism.
    • • Test the pivoting partition in the Duo'Space washroom for smooth movement.

    Worth knowing: Payload capacity should be monitored if adding heavy optional equipment. Check the specific year of the Euro 6D engine for local emissions zone compliance.

    Compare the Rapido 686F 140BHP Auto with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Rapido 686F 140BHP Auto43500 kg7.20 m£65,000 to £88,000
    Rapido 854F 140BHP43500 kg6.70 m£68,000 to £92,000
    Hymer Ml T43500 kg6.98 m£65,000 to £120,000

    The Rapido 686F 140BHP Auto sits in a competitive price bracket between 65000 and 88000. Compared to the Hymer ML-T, it offers a specific French design aesthetic and the Duo'Space washroom system. While the Swift Voyager 564 provides a similar 3500kg MTPLM at a lower starting price, the Rapido distinguishes itself with the 9-speed automatic gearbox and the Nacarat furniture finish. The choice between these models often depends on the preference for the 7.2-metre length versus the shorter footprints of the Rapido 606F or 854F.

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

    Ownership and Maintenance of the 686F

    • Utilise the height-adjustable bed to maximise garage storage for bulky items.
    • Check the 3500kg MTPLM against your driving licence requirements using a weight checker.
    • Ensure the skylight over the cab is regularly inspected for seal integrity.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Exceeding the 435kg payload by carrying full water tanks and four passengers simultaneously.
    • • Assuming all 686F models are 4-berth; the drop-down bed is an optional feature.

    Worth knowing: The 2.9-metre height requires attention to low bridges and fuel station clearances. The 2.35-metre width and extra-wide rear track may require care on narrow rural lanes.
