4 Berth Rapido 896f Motorhome

My son and I had an awesome time renting Dean’s motorhome for 4 days, off grid. The trip did not get off to the best start... I somehow managed to hit a small branch in the country lanes near Dean’s home, which damaged the wing mirror and a side light. Dean was super reasonable about it however and we figured out the replacement parts that were needed after the rental, and sorted it out easily between us. I was grateful for that. Now the review stuff... It’s a gorgeous RV and extremely comfortable. It’s also easy to drive - large enough that you get decent living space, small enough that you can get in to most larger petrol stations without panic. The styling is cool, modern and it feels like you are flying business class. The fridge and freezer work super well and are decently sized. The supplied kitchen kit and other random items (e.g. broom set) is comprehensive, and this is a common issue when renting RV’s. Small missing items like a can opener or a spatula or dish liquid or a sponge can be an outsized annoyance. We had none of that. We are used to much larger North American RV’s, so going off grid required some adjustment. The European cassette style black water tank is much smaller than we’re used to, although ultimately far more flexible than a pump out style North American one. Without going into too much detail, you can empty it in far more places. We did that once during our trip. The only struggle we had was with hot water and half the issue was we couldn’t figure out which way to turn the taps for hot, and which way for cold! Which sounds ridiculous, until you understand how precious water is off grid. Not knowing how long to leave them running for the hot to kick in was another aspect. Basically we couldn’t risk losing 1/4 of our water supply figuring it out, and were without cellphone service at our location to call Dean for assistance. So if I have one regret it is not spending a little more time testing the hot water before heading off to a cellular barren zone. To be fair, Dean does not list the RV as being suitable for off grid, so this was entirely on us. Overall I couldn’t recommend this mortorhome more. It looks just like the pictures and is very comfortable. We would rent it again in a heartbeat. August 2026

Dean was a pleasure to deal with and went above and beyond to make our trip to France as easy as possible,. The van didn't miss a beat and was an absolute dream to drive. We're already planning our next adventure. Thank you !! July 2026

Dean and Ann are lovely hosts, and the motorhome was absolutely gorgeous. The handover was smooth, with everything explained clearly, making us feel confident from the start. The motorhome had everything we needed for a comfortable trip and was well-equipped throughout. We would definitely rent from Dean and Ann again. Highly recommended! Michelle and Lewis xx July 2026

Dean was very helpful and explained how everything works, the Motorhome is in good condition, onboard navigation was very helpful to avoid narrow roads and showing caravan stations on your way. May 2026

Dean’s motorhome was perfect for our trip with everything clean and working as it should. It drives very well particularly when loaded with luggage and camping equipment. Dean was very helpful throughout. July 2025

Flawless handover and Dean was great with answering a few questions we had whilst on our adventure. The motorhome was great and we would absolutely look to hire again for our next family trip. Thanks to Dean we had a brilliant holiday touring Wales. April 2025

This motorhome is everything it says in the advert. A pleasure to drive and fully loaded with everything you could want for a holiday. Can’t praise Dean and Annie enough for their hospitality. Everything was seamless from start to finish. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a bit of luxury. First class from start to finish. We had a great time. Best wishes, Jay and Jo x April 2025

Dean and Ann are great hosts they took their time to handover and were always on hand if there was anything we weren’t sure of. The van is beautiful and very well equipped which made our trip to Warwickshire via Oxford and Rutland Water an extremely restful and enjoyable break. Thank you so much. August 2024
