    Rear Island Bed Motorhomes

    Last updated: 03 September 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    Is the Rapido 696F the right luxury motorhome for you?

    The Rapido 696F is a 7.49 metre low-profile motorhome designed for those prioritising bedroom comfort and social space. It features a 160cm wide island bed and a face-to-face lounge, accommodating between two and four berths. While it offers a premium interior with high-quality cabinetry, buyers must manage a 445kg payload if opting for the standard 3500kg MTPLM.

    • XXL central island bed measuring 160 by 198 cm.
    • Face-to-face Smart Lounge configuration for open living space.
    • Independent shower and toilet compartments with dual partition doors.
    • Large heated rear garage with dual access points.
    • Kitchen equipped with a 145 litre large capacity fridge.

    Worth knowing: The 7.49 metre body length may exceed standard parking bay dimensions. Payload is limited to 445kg on the 3500kg chassis, which may be restrictive for four occupants.

    Buying a Rapido 696F: What you need to know

    Who it suits

    • • Couples seeking a permanent XXL island bed with easy access from both sides.
    • • Tourers who value a social, open-plan lounge for hosting guests.
    • • Long-distance travellers requiring a large, heated garage for outdoor equipment.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • The dual-access bathroom provides high levels of privacy with partition doors.
    • • The panoramic skyview roof light enhances natural light in the living area.
    • • Rapido woodwork and premium upholstery offer a high-quality interior finish.

    What to check

    • • Verify if the specific unit has the optional electric drop-down ceiling bed installed.
    • • Check the chassis type, as these models are built on either Peugeot or Fiat bases.
    • • Confirm the MTPLM, as some units may have the 4400kg upgrade instead of the standard 3500kg.

    Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM allows for standard driving licences but limits the available payload to 445kg. Parking in standard spaces is difficult due to the 7.49 metre length.

    Compare the Rapido 696F with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Rapido 696F43500 kg7.49 m£55,000 to £95,000
    Benimar TESSORO T84043500 kg7.39 m£52,000 to £78,000
    Bailey Adamo 75-4i 170BHP Auto43500 kg7.48 m£58,000 to £79,500

    The Rapido 696F sits at the higher end of the price scale, ranging from 55000 to 95000, reflecting its luxury positioning. Compared to alternatives like the Bailey Adamo 75-4i or Benimar Tessoro T840, the Rapido is longer at 7.49 metres and focuses heavily on the XXL island bed dimensions. While the alternatives often provide similar berth counts on shorter chassis, the Rapido 696F prioritises internal floor space and bathroom privacy through its dual-partition design.

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

    Ownership and maintenance tips for the 696F

    • Utilise the dual-access garage for heavy items to keep the main living area clear.
    • Monitor the 445kg payload carefully if touring with four people to stay within the 3500kg limit.
    • Use the dual partition doors to create a private en-suite dressing area when the bathroom is in use.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Assuming all 696F models have four berths; the drop-down bed is an optional feature.
    • • Underestimating the 2.9 metre height when navigating routes with low obstacles.

    Worth knowing: Payload calculations must include the weight of all passengers and optional extras like the drop-down bed.
