Hello
I'm very excited as we've just bought a Rapido confort. Not sure if it's the 'matic' but I guess we'll find out when we try and put it up! What is the difference?
Please can anyone send me the instructions for this in English? Would much appreciate it, thanks.

Thw 'matic' has a stand-on u-shaped lever to assist the lifting of the top section.  This is allied to two torsion bar units in the floor of the trailer section.  You'll know uf you haven't got it by the backache. lol

This is a better link with an 'expert' (read show-off ) on it.

Have fun!  Note it does not show furniture setup but that's a doddle after a while.

Thanks. There is a curved piece of metal that I think you stand on to haul up one half of the caravan. Otherwise I'll start saving now for the osteopath!

Oh it's exciting, i just got one as well and can't wait to use.  Having a caravan but without the size and towing a large caravan should be lovely.  Enjoy your van we certainly intend to this year

Just got the rapido home, and we'll be hoping for a dry day soon (!!) so we can open it out and give it a clean - it's a 1979 one, so a bit on the elderly side, but came with the original brochure with some fab pictures! Roll on Springtime...
