Rapido Motorhomes
Rapido is a French motorhome manufacturer which began in 1960 after Mr Constant Rousseau built the first folding caravan. By 1990 the brand had evolved and a new phase of development began and Rapido's products were revised in terms of their interior and exterior appearance and adornment. By 1992 Rapido released a new range of products to become part of the dominant motorhome industry and became market leader for "low-slung" vehicles. During the rest of the 1990's Rapido continued to improve and develop its motorhomes, making developments such as increasing the capacity of clean water tanks, on-road heating and slatted bed bases.
Rapido motorhomes have 3 different vehicle bases: Fiat, Mercedes and Ford Transit. These have come to be associated with each model by reference to the letter "F", "M", or "T".
Enthusiastic Rapido customers or fans can even purchase branded merchandise including fleeces, watches and glassware.
Rapido motorhomes are comparatively expensive in relation so some of the more budget brands on the market. The A-class Serie 9M is the most expensive Rapido motorhome currently in production and will cost around £70,000 new.
Other technological innovations which Rapido employ are the polyester panels used to increase the strength of their motorhomes, and "Alu-Fiber", a combination of aluminium and polyester which withstands impact whilst acting as a base for metallic paint. These advances combined lead to Rapido making a name for itself of an aesthetically and technically competent motorhome manufacturer.
Rapido also places great emphasis on comfort and the quality of its upholstery materials which are rigorously tested for durability and safety. Drivers are specifically catered to with a seat designed to adopt the ideal position with added comfort.
