One of the most important things to look for in a motorhome is its dimensions. When buying a new motorhome, there are often concerns about the restrictions when it comes to it’s length, height and weight. This is why it is important to know the dimensions of your motorhome, especially since so many sites within the UK and Europe ask for the dimensions of your vehicle when booking.
Below, I have included three pieces of important information: overall length, overall body weight, and overall height.
Select your Rapido motorhome model from the list below to be taken to the relevant dimensions:

Here are some of my favourite caravan and RV essentials
Thanks for reading this blog post. I hope you’ve found it super useful and that you’re loving your tourer as much as I love mine! Here are some blog posts I’ve written with my recommendations for gear and certain essentials you’ll need as a caravan or RV owner. These posts do contain affiliate links, so I’ll earn a small commission if you purchase anything. But honestly, all of the essentials I’ve recommended below are things I actually use myself! These are essentials I think all caravan and motorhome owners should have, and I never recommend anything I haven’t tried and tested.
Caravan insurance: Caravan insurance is absolutely crucial for protecting your precious tourer, even if it isn’t a legal requirement! I use Caravan Guard myself and would wholeheartedly recommend them to everyone, including my family and friends. All my interactions with them have been great when I’ve needed help, and they’re reasonable too. Specialist cover for folding campers and trailer tents. Caravan Guard gives you cover for storm, theft, accidental damage or vandalism under their touring caravan insurance policy. Get a quote today.
Low-wattage kettles: Wherever you’re travelling, and if you love a cuppa as much as I do, a low-wattage kettle is an absolute must. You can’t use standard power-hogging kettles on sites or you’ll blow the fuses — especially if you’re travelling in Europe. So these are some of my favourite low-wattage kettles designed for caravans and motorhomes. I’ve tried all of the kettles I recommend and think they’re all brilliant in different ways, so you’d be happy with any of them.
Portable heaters: A portable heater that doesn’t consume a ton of power is something I can’t go without when I’m touring. If you’re like me and you tour any time of the year, no matter the weather, a portable heater for your awning is a must. I’ve written a post with some of my favourite awning heaters — all of which I’ve used. I’ve picked these considering criterion such as power consumption, portability, and safety features. They’re all excellent, as well as reasonably priced!
