2022 Mercedes Rapido M96 Automatic 4-Berth Motorhome with Island Bed

Description

So, I’ve been living in this 2022 Mercedes Rapido M96 for the past year and honestly, it’s become my home away from home. Built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis (170–180 bhp), it’s got that smooth 9G-Tronic automatic gearbox — no fiddling with gears, just easy, quiet driving. At 7.54 metres long, it’s not massive, but it packs in serious space and comfort.

Inside, it’s all open-plan vibes — two opposing sofas in the lounge, a central drop-down bed, and a rear island bed that can be adjusted in height and has plenty of storage. The kitchen is fully equipped with a L-shaped setup, a 177L fridge-freezer, and even a solar panel. There’s a shower and toilet, underfloor heating, and a proper kitchen with all the basics — feels like you’ve got a real home, just with wheels.

It’s got a whole bunch of premium factory extras: 10.5” touchscreen, adaptive cruise, cab climate control, Webasto diesel heater with heat exchanger, premium leather seats, memory foam top for the island bed, and central locking. I’ve also had a few smart after-market upgrades — extra sockets, a BBQ, and a 240v outlet — so it’s all set up for off-grid touring, even in winter.

The Rapido M96 won “Best Innovation” in the 2020 Motorhome of the Year Awards — I saw that and thought, “This is actually smarter than it looks.” It’s not just about size; it’s about how well things fit and work together.

I’ve had it fully serviced, including timing belt if needed, and it’s got a 12-month MOT, a full PDI check, and a 3-month warranty. There’s also a Thatcham-approved tracker and immobiliser (started at £400 — can go over if you want, but I can share details if you're interested).

I’m based in Dunfermline, Fife, and I’m happy to show it around — I’m open 7 days a week, and we’ve got a proper indoor showroom where you can actually see it in person. No pressure, just real talk.

If you're thinking about a motorhome that feels like a proper apartment but gives you freedom to move around — this one’s been a real game-changer for me.
