Elddis Riva 554 Specifications and Layout
The Elddis Riva 554 is a four-berth caravan featuring a popular fixed island bed and end washroom layout. Measuring 7.37m in length with a 1500kg MTPLM, it provides a 210kg payload and is designed for both couples and small families seeking a dedicated bedroom area and separate shower facilities.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elddis Riva 554 | 4 | 1500 kg | 7.37 m | £17,000 to £28,000 |

The Elddis Riva 554 sits in a competitive segment alongside models like the Bailey Unicorn Cabrera and Elddis Crusader Mistral. While it shares the 7.37m length of the Cabrera, its 1500kg MTPLM is lower than the 1550kg or 1650kg found in some alternatives, potentially offering a broader range of compatible tow cars. The choice between these models often rests on specific interior finishes and the preference for Elddis construction versus other manufacturer methods.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Elddis Riva 554 Ownership Advice
- Utilise the 7.37m length to plan for appropriate pitch sizes at UK campsites.
- Make use of the 210kg payload by distributing heavier items over the axle.
- Regularly check the seals around the end washroom and separate shower cubicle.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 210kg payload by over-loading the generous under-bed storage area.
- Assuming all models have identical technology regardless of the production year.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact MTPLM on the weight plate before calculating towing ratios. Payload figures may be reduced if optional extras like motor movers are fitted.
