It's long gone I'm afraid...

After four years, I'm selling my Rapido Exportmatic. I'm posting it here as i bought it to tow with my Early Bay but now the brood has grown and the Bay has made way for a T5 so I'm going bigger. If you're not familiar, it's a hard-skinned, aluminium folding caravan that folds into a trailer...

Sorry for late reply. Pellwood, got your PM and will reply imminently. Cloud Dancer, definitely, if Pellwood doesn't have them, you're next. Thanks both. Jim

Hey Chad, I guess a couple of quid to post. Call it £13 all up? If you're happy with that, I'll PM you my details. Matty, Bugger - still, thanks for letting me know - good of you. Will chop to 'the other' forum and see if it goes there. Thanks again, Jim

Having a sort out and a few EB parts: Three-guage cluster. Oil Pressure, oil temperature and battery conditions (volts). Mounted in plastic, surface mound pod. Home-made wiring harness for power and earth to gauges, as well as loom for power and earth for lighting. No senders. I used a...

Hey Toffo My pleasure - like I said, thanks for checking. Hope you all had a good day despite the weather... Jim

A quick thanks to various people from Saturday, who may or may not see this; The two Bays who slowed/stopped to check we were Ok as we coughed, spluttered and exploded along the hard shoulder of the M25 heading (slowly) towards the M23 nightmare (eventually traced to loose electronic trigger...

Actually, that's a good point. The one main drawback with the Rapido is that once you've put it down, while you can store a fair bit of stuff in cupboards and under seats, etc, actually, there isn't a huge amount of storage room. So we always end up with bedding, clothes, coolbox and toys in the...

We've got the Export which is the largest of the lot, as we've got three kids. As the roof panels are larger and heavier than the Confort, I can't quite put it up on my own but I can put the whole thing down alone. It's dead easy and quick, once you've done it a couple of times. Basically...

Another vote for a Rapido. We bought an Exportmatic a couple of years ago and it's awesome. Capacity to sleep 6, proper hard walls and beds and folds up smaller (narrower and lower) than the bus so it does't act as a parachute. Stock-ish (twin carbs and exhaust) motor pulls it without any...

I tried the factory jack once and it was terrifying. Then carried a small trolley jack but took up too much room. Then I found a Land Rover bottle jack. Huge lift, heavy and robust with a decent base for stability and a curved top part to sit nicely under an axle tube.

Hi there, Would you take £15 for it and I'll collect either later this evening (Weds 3 Sept) or possible Friday or the weekend? I'm just south of Bedford. If so, PM me a number and I'll give you a call. Many thanks, Jim

I'm with Bay-Low - I've got twin 34s and a 0009 and it pulls like a train while driving perfectly. Spitting back through the carbs tends too suggest a lean mixture - either an air leak or jets too small. I had the same problem and replacing the inlet gaskets (crush rings) solved it nicely...

Have PM'd you...

Are the heater levers still available? If so, I'll take them please - if you PM your details, I'll pay ASAP. Thanks, Jim
