The CI Riviera is a traditional motorhome range built on the Fiat Ducato chassis, offering between two and six berths.

Reasons to consider it
- Excellent value for money within the pre-owned market.

What to check
- Confirm the kitchen equipment, as galleys should include an oven, hob, and large fridge.

The CI Riviera occupies a distinct position in the used market, offering a seven point three five metre platform that balances living space with a three thousand five hundred kilogram MTPLM. While alternatives like the Auto-Trail Imala seven hundred and thirty or Benimar Tessoro offer six berths at a higher price point, the Riviera provides a more accessible entry price starting at eighteen thousand five hundred pounds. The choice between these models often depends on whether the buyer prioritises the Riviera's traditional layout and proven durability over the more modern aesthetics found in higher-priced alternatives.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Maximising your CI Riviera experience.
- Utilise the external lockers for heavy gear to keep the internal living space clear.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming all models are under three thousand five hundred kilograms; always check the weight plate.
