Enough storage space in Rapido caravans

New here, and made to feel welcome by the replies to my introduction post, thanks!


We're still at the stage of buying our first caravan after years of tents. Current favourite after lots of research is a Rapido 32, for various reasons, not least being its compact size when the top is down for towing & parking.

I know they're fairly rare, but if anyone here's used one I'll welcome comments on how well the limited storage space is practical for two people on a trip of more than a few days.We've been rather spoilt by our nice big tent! (2nd hand Cabanon Biscaya, which is wonderful, weatherproof, and comfortable... just getting tired of the fag of packing it all down, expecially in the wet, and not a tent for one night stopovers.)

Do you tend to use the car as a luggage reservoir, or just get better at compact camping?

Thanks for any comments,

Richard

"Can I suggest one little amendment that will be in your interest if you can get it switched? Change the included Butane bottle to a Propane one, with appropriate pigtail etc."

Sorry, my sleepy slip of keyboard - I'll check but I think we're on propane already ... red cylinders, yes?

Thanks for the reminder!

Yes, here in the UK red will mean Propane [ though not all available propane in the UK is in  red bottles]
