The search continues, just seen this and has the layout we want no hab check for awhile, so needs a damp check. MOT history better than most I’ve looked at. HW07SEA any insights to this make/ model would be good.
 
Our first van was a 2005 7 series Rapido, and it was pretty bomb proof TBH (much more solidly built than our current van)

In the 5 years we (heavily) used it, our only fault was the bathroom floor showing hairline cracks (like an extended shower tray in our model) apart from that is was spot on, and we wouldn't hesitate to get another Rapido.

I was going to say that they can be heavy, but notice its been uprated, but still worth getting it weighed. (I dread to think what weight we ran ours at with a family of 4 on extended holidays)

As with all vans of this age, a damp check is essential, as is a good look round the tyres (age?), brakes (stood a long time?) Cambelt (when changed?) etc

We have essentially the same van but ours is island bed, as we don't need the third berth we removed the dining table and make a huge improvement to freedom of movement. Overall love the van and the build quality, bear in mind that if you want to change your lights to LED you'll need to change about 30 bulbs!!!!
You can fit two 110amp sized batteries under the o/s seat next to the caravan door. Anything else you want to know feel free to message me and I'll do me best. 😁
