    Rear Island Bed Motorhomes

    Last updated: 02 August 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

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

    The Rapido 686F 140BHP is a 7.2m low-profile motorhome designed for 2 to 4 berths. Built on a Fiat Ducato chassis, it features a rear island bed and a face-to-face lounge. With a 3500kg MTPLM and a 445kg payload, it offers a balance of French interior design and functional storage, including a heated garage.

    • Fiat Ducato 2.2L 140BHP Multijet engine providing torque for touring.
    • Rear island bed layout featuring an adjustable headboard.
    • Face-to-face lounge configuration for an open internal atmosphere.
    • Central washroom with independent shower and toilet cubicles.
    • Heated garage space with dual-side access for storage.

    Worth knowing: The 7.2m length may require additional confidence for drivers new to larger vehicles. Overhead storage is more restricted compared to traditional over-cab models. Optional electric drop-down beds will impact the available payload.

    Buying a Rapido 686F 140BHP

    Who it suits

    • • Couples seeking a permanent rear island bed and a spacious lounge.
    • • Small families requiring up to 4 berths with a separate shower layout.
    • • Drivers limited to a 3500kg MTPLM licence who still want a 7.2m vehicle.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • The 140BHP engine offers a balanced power-to-weight ratio for this 7.2m frame.
    • • High-quality cabinetry and sophisticated French interior aesthetics.
    • • Efficient 445kg payload for a vehicle under 7.5m in length.

    What to check

    • • Confirm if the specific unit includes the optional electric drop-down bed.
    • • Inspect the NACARAT furniture finish and LED mood lighting for condition.
    • • Verify the operation of the adjustable headboard on the rear island bed.
    • • Check the dual-side access doors on the heated garage for seal integrity.

    Worth knowing: Payload capacity of 445kg must be managed carefully if adding heavy optional equipment. Premium pricing between 58000 and 82000 reflects the specific build quality and furniture finish.

    Compare the Rapido 686F 140BHP with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Rapido 686F 140BHP43500 kg7.20 m£58,000 to £82,000
    Auto-Trail F-Line F70 165BHP Auto43500 kg7.32 m£58,000 to £76,000
    Auto-Trail F-Line F74 165BHP Auto43500 kg7.32 m£58,000 to £76,000

    The Rapido 686F 140BHP sits in a competitive 58000 to 82000 price bracket. Compared to the Auto-Trail F-Line F70, it is slightly shorter at 7.2m versus 7.32m but shares the same 3500kg MTPLM. While the Elddis Evolution 185 offers a longer 7.41m body, the Rapido focuses on a specific face-to-face lounge and island bed layout. It provides a middle ground in length between these alternatives while maintaining a 140BHP output.

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

    Ownership and Maintenance Tips

    • Utilise the dual-side garage access to distribute weight evenly across the rear axle.
    • Monitor the LED mood lighting circuits as part of your annual habitation check.
    • Ensure the central washroom seals are inspected regularly to maintain the separate shower cubicle.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Assuming all 686F models have an automatic gearbox; this 140BHP version is distinct from the Auto variant.
    • • Overloading the rear garage beyond the remaining 445kg payload capacity.

    Worth knowing: The 2.9m height requires awareness of low bridges and restricted site entrances. Payload will decrease from 445kg if the 4 berth configuration includes extra water or gear.
