Good morning all, I will be looking at a Rapido Dreamer Addict edition with fixed bed and pop up roof. Just wondering if there are any owners or experts on here that could advise me about this van please? Thank you

Is that a van conversion? If it is there isn’t much of a difference between manufacturers unless some use inferior fittings. What year and make of base vehicle is it?

It's Ducato MWB panel van. As you say, all manufacturers interiors are nearly identical in such a small van. I am a little concerned about the noise of the combi diesel heating ..we have the Truma combi gas and electric in our present van and it is extremely quiet.

In the past I had the gas Combi 6002 and then a Webasto Dual Top.

I now own a 600DB Malibu van equipped with Combi diesel heater (C6 / E) and CP Plus panel.
No noise, just an inaudible buzz.
No smoke on ignition, forethought, power it on for about twenty minutes once a month.
As it should be done with all diesel heaters.

I would say, completely satisfied.

I have a Webasto diesel heater (factory fit) and while you hear the blower for a minute or two as it brings the van up to temp it soon settles down and is not an obtrusive noise at all.

You can get an eberspatcher pump on eBay for £15.00 which is the one I got instead of useing the rubber mount that comes with it hang it of two cable ties this
Also cuts down The noise
