The Elddis Riva 185 is a 4 berth, low-profile motorhome designed for users who prioritise fixed sleeping arrangements and a large washroom. Built on a Peugeot Boxer chassis, it features twin fixed single beds and a full-width rear bathroom. With a 3500kg MTPLM, it is accessible to drivers with a standard UK Category B licence, offering a payload of 535kg within its 7.34m length.
- Twin fixed single beds located towards the rear for undisturbed sleep.

- Whale 4kW dual-fuel space saving heating system.
- Low-profile Peugeot Boxer chassis with a 3500kg MTPLM.
Worth knowing: The 7.34m external length may exceed standard parking bay dimensions. Payload of 535kg must be managed carefully when travelling with four occupants. Front bed conversion requires manual reconfiguration of lounge cushions.
Buying an Elddis Riva 185
Who it suits
- • Couples who prefer fixed single beds to avoid climbing over a partner at night.
- • Drivers limited to a Category B licence who require a full-sized motorhome.
- • Small families needing occasional extra berths via the lounge conversion.
Reasons to consider it
- • Dealer-special upgrades provide a higher specification than the standard Autoquest 185.
- • The 535kg payload is generous for two people on a 3500kg chassis.
- • Domestic-style rear washroom offers more space than typical side-layout bathrooms.
What to check
- • Confirm the operation of the Whale 4kW heating system on both gas and electric.
- • Inspect the microwave and dual-fuel hob for signs of wear.
- • Test the ease of the front lounge bed conversion.
- • Ensure the sky-view opening cab sunroof seals are intact.

Compare the Elddis Riva 185 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elddis Riva 185 | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.34 m | £48,000 to £72,000 |
| Elddis Evolution | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.34 m | £45,000 to £78,000 |
| Elddis Evolution 194 140BHP Auto | 4 | 3500 kg | 7.34 m | £52,000 to £78,000 |
The Elddis Riva 185 sits in a competitive segment of 7.34m motorhomes that utilise the 3500kg chassis to avoid C1 licence requirements. While it shares its core dimensions and 4 berth capacity with the Elddis Evolution 194, the Riva 185 is distinguished by its twin fixed single bed layout and full-width rear washroom. Compared to the Auto-Trail F Line F70, it offers a similar length but focuses on the specific dealer-special styling and Whale heating integration. The choice between these models often rests on the preference for specific internal furniture finishes and the exact configuration of the rear sleeping area.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 7.34m length by planning routes that avoid tight urban parking.
- Regularly clean the sky-view sunroof to maintain natural light levels in the lounge.
- Monitor the weight of additional accessories to stay within the 3500kg limit.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overloading the 535kg payload by carrying full water tanks and four passengers simultaneously.
- • Assuming all 185 models have the Riva dealer-special upgrades.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact MTPLM on the vehicle plate before loading. The 2.2m width requires care on narrow rural roads.
