What makes the Elddis Riva 860 a distinct choice?

It measures 8.05m in length and 2.45m in width, providing a spacious residential feel supported by SoLiD Construction and a 1690kg MTPLM.
- Twin-axle chassis and 2.45m width for enhanced interior floor space and towing stability.
- Transverse island bed layout with a central washroom that creates an en-suite configuration.
- Whale 4.3kW dual-fuel heating system and Grade 3 thermal insulation for year-round use.

Buying an Elddis Riva 860
Who it suits
- • Tourers who require the extra interior volume provided by an 8-foot wide body shell.
- • Couples or families of four who prefer the stability of a twin-axle chassis for long-distance travel.
Reasons to consider it
- • The 2.45m width creates a significantly more open lounge and kitchen area than standard caravans.
- • The central washroom layout allows for a private rear bedroom with a walk-around island bed.
- • High-end features such as the panoramic Sky-Scape sunroof and alloy wheels are included as standard.
What to check
- • Verify the specific dealer-special features included, as these vary from standard Casita models.
- • Check the operation of the Whale 4.3kW dual-fuel space saving heating system.
- • Inspect the condition of the bespoke Riva upholstery and soft furnishings.
