Hi,  I currently own a Rapido Confortmatic which I love to bits and have had loads of fun using.  However, with a growing family ieven with an awning, t is just too small for all of us and I would love to change to a Rapido Exportmatic.  I have searched on ebay but they seem to come up so rarely I wondered if anyone had any ideas of sites which I might be lucky enough to find one on?????

Hi Velvettiger,

I can only suggest you keep on scanning ebay, failing that you could join (unless you have already done so) the Original Rapido Owners Club, members sometimes advertise their rapido's in the monthly newsletter, just a thought. Good luck with your search, and if I see one I will give you a shout.

Dawn

I was lucky and got mine on ebay and love it, you just have to look on there all the time that's what I done and it worked.  slowly slowly catchy monkey as they say.  Maybe you could try putting a wanted out in your local paper as I got my comfort that way before I got the export.  I wish you luck and it will be worth the wait because they are fantastic and we found it a lovely size for us and we are a family of 2 adults 3 children.  We have only used it once though but intend to use it a whole lot more and can;t wait

Gutted missed out on the Wakefield one, and then the other one was withdrawn as they had advertised it elsewhere without me realising and had a cashbuyer buy it this morning!!!  Typical!

Wow I have just been and had a look at the Wakefield one, it went for alot of money If you could hold on I think I would wait until the end of the season or the over the winter period when the prices come down alot. I wouldn't panic buy just to get the export, I would hang on until I found the perfect one. Granted the Wakefield one did look good.

Anyhow whatever you decide, good luck and if I see anything local I will drop you a line....

Well have you seen how much the conforts are going for I have been really shocked and in comparison the export was really cheap believe it or not.  Lately some conforts have been going for between £800-£1100 shocking ah!!! Anyway If you can get one alot cheaper always better, only thing is they are far a few between but I must admit I got mine just after Christmas at a very good price, it's a hard decision

Congratulations, glad you have got what you wanted. I know you had a wait but I bet it was worth it. I hope you have as many good, happy years in it as we have had in ours.

Well Done
