Is the Elddis Avante Riva 860 a good choice?
The Elddis Avante Riva 860 is a high specification 8 foot wide caravan designed for those who prioritise interior volume and a boutique hotel feel. Built on a twin axle chassis with a 1695kg MTPLM, it features a popular island bed and central washroom layout. As a dealer special edition, it offers upgraded upholstery and equipment over the standard Avante range, making it a strong contender for year round touring.
- Twin axle chassis with AL-KO ATC Active Trailer Control for towing stability.
- Extra wide 2.45 metre body shell providing increased internal floor space.
- Transverse island bed layout with a central washroom and end bedroom.
- Whale 4.3kW dual fuel heating system and Grade III Thermal Insulation.
- SoLiD Construction using fully bonded structural joints.
Worth knowing: The 2.45 metre width requires careful navigation on narrow roads. A high MTPLM of 1695kg necessitates a powerful tow vehicle. Manual manoeuvring is difficult without a motor mover due to the twin axle setup.
Buying an Elddis Avante Riva 860
Who it suits
- • Families or couples seeking a spacious 8 foot wide living area.
- • Tourers who prefer the stability of a twin axle chassis.
- • Winter caravanners requiring Grade III insulation and 4.3kW heating.
Reasons to consider it
- • The 2.45 metre width creates a significantly more open plan interior.
- • High safety specifications including AL-KO ATC as standard.
- • The central washroom creates a private master suite at the rear.
What to check
- • Confirm the specific dealer special upgrades included with the individual unit.
- • Verify the operation of the retractable island bed mechanism.
- • Check the service history to maintain the SoLiD construction warranty.
- • Ensure your tow vehicle is legally rated for the 1695kg MTPLM.
Worth knowing: Payload is limited to 159kg, which may be restrictive for four occupants. The 8.05 metre length and 2.45 metre width may limit access to some smaller pitches.
Compare the Elddis Avante Riva 860 with similar models
| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elddis Avante Riva 860 | 4 | 1695 kg | 8.05 m | £21,500 to £32,995 |
| Bailey Unicorn Barcelona | 4 | 1650 kg | 7.91 m | £18,000 to £38,000 |
| Elddis Crusader Zephyr | 4 | 1650 kg | 7.55 m | £18,000 to £38,000 |
The Elddis Avante Riva 860 occupies a specific niche as an 8 foot wide, twin axle caravan with a 1695kg MTPLM. When compared to alternatives like the Bailey Unicorn Barcelona or the Elddis Crusader Borealis, the Riva 860 offers a wider body shell at 2.45 metres, whereas some competitors are narrower or lighter. While the Riva 860 provides significant internal volume, buyers must balance this against its 8.05 metre length and the requirement for a heavy tow vehicle. It remains a well equipped option for those valuing the dealer special upgrades and the SoLiD construction method.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Owning an Avante Riva 860
- Utilise the retractable island bed during the day to maximise walkway space.
- Check tyre pressures regularly to ensure the twin axle stability is maintained.
- Monitor the 1695kg MTPLM when loading heavy items into the central washroom area.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Underestimating the turning circle required for an 8.05 metre twin axle caravan.
- • Attempting to manoeuvre the vehicle by hand on soft or uneven ground.
Worth knowing: The 159kg payload must be managed carefully when fitting optional extras like motor movers.
