    Rear Island Bed Motorhomes

    Last updated: 02 August 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    Is the Rapido 8096dF 180BHP Auto the right A-Class for you?

    The Rapido 8096dF 180BHP Auto is a premium 4-berth A-Class motorhome designed for year-round touring. It features a 180BHP engine, automatic gearbox, and a heated double floor on an AL-KO chassis. The layout is centred around a spacious face-to-face lounge and a large rear island bed, supported by a substantial 1185kg payload.

    • 180BHP engine with automatic transmission for enhanced driving performance.
    • AL-KO double floor chassis providing thermal insulation and internal storage.
    • XXL central island bed measuring 160 by 198 cm with electric height adjustment.
    • Face-to-face 'Smart Lounge' layout with a folding table.
    • Large heated garage equipped with 230V and 12V sockets.

    Worth knowing: The 4400kg MTPLM requires a C1 category driving licence in the UK. A length of 7.49m may present challenges when parking in confined spaces.

    Buying a Rapido 8096dF 180BHP Auto

    Who it suits

    • • Long-term tourers who require a high 1185kg payload for extended trips.
    • • Winter motorhomers seeking the insulation benefits of a heated double floor and Novatech construction.
    • • Drivers prioritising engine power, specifically the 180BHP output and automatic transmission.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • The AL-KO wide track rear axle provides superior stability for a vehicle of this 7.49m length.
    • • Independent shower and bathroom ensuite areas offer a domestic-style living experience.
    • • High-density foam insulation and impact-resistant polyester roof enhance durability.

    What to check

    • • Verify the operation of the electric height adjustment on the 160 by 198 cm island bed.
    • • Inspect the heated double floor storage compartments for accessibility.
    • • Confirm the specific payload availability based on any fitted optional equipment.
    • • Test the external shower and garage power sockets for functionality.

    Worth knowing: The premium price range of 85000 to 125000 reflects the high-output engine and automatic gearbox upgrade. Ensure your driving licence permits vehicles over 3500kg before purchase.

    Rapido 8096dF 180BHP Auto44400 kg7.49 m£85,000 to £125,000
    Mobilvetta K Yacht T Line 9544400 kg7.44 m£75,000 to £115,000
    Mobilvetta K Yacht T Line 95 244400 kg7.54 m£75,000 to £115,000

    The Rapido 8096dF 180BHP Auto sits in a competitive price bracket between 85000 and 125000. While alternatives like the Adria Matrix Supreme 670 DL offer a lower MTPLM, the Rapido distinguishes itself with the 180BHP engine and the specific thermal advantages of the 'dF' double floor system. Compared to the Mobilvetta K Yacht T Line 95, which shares the 4400kg MTPLM, the Rapido provides a specific 7.49m footprint and a 1185kg payload that caters to those with significant storage requirements.

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

    Ownership and Maintenance Tips

    • Utilise the 1185kg payload to distribute heavy items within the heated double floor to maintain a low centre of gravity.
    • Regularly check the seals on the impact-resistant polyester roof as part of annual maintenance.
    • Make use of the 230V and 12V sockets in the heated garage to maintain leisure batteries or equipment.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Underestimating the turning circle of the 7.49m AL-KO chassis in tight coastal villages.
    • • Exceeding the 4400kg MTPLM by failing to account for the weight of water in the double-floor tanks.

    Worth knowing: The 2.35m width and 2.89m height require careful route planning, particularly on rural roads.
