Fiat, RAPIDO Dreamer XL Select LTD CAMPERVAN AUTO, 2021, 2287 (cc)

Description

This Pre-Owned 2021 Dreamer Campervan XL Select Limited comes with a whole host of phenomenal fitted packs/options/PHGV and is by far, the highest specified example in the UK including the handful of new ones. In fact, I’ve never even seen one with this high a specification during our ownership. It was similarly marketed as such by Harbour Creek based at Hayling Island when we purchased the vehicle as a one owner example, with 3000 miles.

2021 Dreamer Campervan XL Select in Aluminium Grey. Fiat Ducato, 2.3L 160hp engine with 9 speed Automatic Gearbox. 4250Kg PHGV. Euro 6 Multijet, 4 Berth and four belted seats. Featuring TWO double beds. First registered on 16.07.2021 with only one previous owner from new, and covering just over 4,600 miles.

“As soon as you step into this luxurious spacious motorhome you are greeted by the living area, which is bright and open. You have the L-shaped lounge seating area, offering plenty of seating and dining table. The 2 front captain chairs swivel round allowing you to incorporate them into the lounge/diner area, this gives you a real sense of space. You have your own private shower and bathroom area; the two rooms are separate offering you plenty of space and they can be merged into one dressing/bathroom area.

At the rear you have the fixed transverse bed which is the full width of the motorhome which can be folded up to give a large storage area. Above the front dining area there is a large electric drop down double bed.”

Increased PHGV payload as follows (especially relevant since if payloads are easily exceeded then fines are applicable, as it can be dangerous):

Private plate 725KPG to be replaced with original reg WO21YFC as per last photo when purchased from Harbour Creek 18 months ago. This vehicle was purchased for a planned long European road trip, which unfortunately had to be cancelled this year due to long Covid post viral syndrome - hence the low mileage and this eventual sale due to light and under use.

Excellent condition, FIAT Ducato 2 year service interval, Servicing : PDI 2021, 2023 and Major service August 2025, new MOT and habitation check TBA. Rear garage under transverse bed is large enough for 2 x “PVY Z20 PRO” size electric bikes (not included in sale).

This 2.3 FIAT engine model and year also has an engine oil dipstick (plus digital display) which the later and IMO inferior 2.2 models (Citroen/Peugeot 2.2 engine requires costlier “ wet timing belt” change along with “ Wet belts require high oil quality to avoid degradation. Low-grade oil or missed oil changes can cause premature belt wear or delamination and Risk of catastrophic engine failure if the belt fails”(ChatGPT).

Cheaper PHGV road tax £165 instead of £325 and additional PHGV payload/air suspension (Ideal for: “Long trips, heavy loads, e-bikes, solar, etc.” as opposed to “Weekend trips, lighter load” as above (ChatGPT)).

£69,995, new model and example to same spec and extras would be in excess of £95k.
