Nah don't think so Ross. Thanks. Just had a look at the rapid.

The one in the mag has the middle bed folding outwards from the centre, just as the 2 on the ends do. It's not internal, so-to-speak. All beds have a canvass roof, not fibreglass.

... Not fibreglass over canvass that is.

Thanks but picture this ... the double in the middle extends out the same as the ones on the ends ... only it's in the middle .. so there are 3 canvass sections protruding from from the body of the van.

Thanks anyway.

Cheers,
Poe :)

... or to put it another way ... the 3rd bed folds out from the side of the van ... yeah, that's a better way to describe it.

Cheers,
Poe :)

No, no , no ... this is definately a wind-up or a poptop van, with 2 double beds and a 3rd bed coming of the side ... it may be a single or double ... can't tell from the pic.

I'll try and send a photo of it to some link soon.

Thanks Sand Man.

Thanks D-Jack!

Looking at the picture in CW (price sticker dated 3/12/2004) it looks like a great compact unit. Off-road, space for what looks like 6 bodies without the need to set up bedding every night. Even has air-con or heater on the roof.

Could be just the right thing for when the (aging) in-laws come to visit and sight-see with us and the kids.

I forgot to take a pic (of the pic in the magazine) before heading off to use another pc to load some other pics, so it'll be a day or 2 yet before I get the chance again.

Until then ...

Brainstorm. I just emaile Engel to ask if they know, but it's probably a photo taken from "stock." Let's see what they respond with.

Cheers,
Poe :)

Thanks Whitey ... it does look like one from the pics at that address.

You've put my mind at rest.

Cheers,
Poe :)
