Rapids are pretty light for what they are too depending on the configuration. Still need to watch the weight though. None of these type of vans seems to have much of a payload.

Yes, i believe the rapids design was off limits to Jayco until then as the original expanda's had the canvas top with poles like the bed ends on your camper. This meant that if the canvas was wet at time of packup it ended up getting water inside the van whereas the rapid canvas folds up outside the bedfloor and is sealed by the hatch when put down.
Ive always liked the rapid but were often expensive, we paid a little more than we budgeted for but when we saw how it had been kept i couldnt walk away.
