Why the Elddis Riva Gold 196?

Built by Elddis, one of Britain’s most respected motorhome manufacturers, the Riva Gold range is renowned for combining clever design, high-quality construction and exceptional value.

The 196 offers something many families struggle to find…

A genuine 6 berth motorhome with 6 travelling seatbelts whilst still remaining under the all-important 3,500kg maximum weight, meaning it can be driven on a standard UK driving licence.

That makes holidays easier, ownership simpler and adventures accessible to almost everyone.

A Lounge You’ll Never Want to Leave

The rear of the motorhome is where this layout really shines.

The beautiful end lounge is flooded with natural light thanks to the impressive triple aspect windows and large rooflight overhead, creating a bright, airy space that instantly feels welcoming.

It’s the perfect place to:

✔ Relax with a morning coffee

✔ Watch the world go by on site

✔ Read a book after a day’s exploring

✔ Entertain friends

✔ Enjoy family evenings together

When night falls, the lounge quickly converts into another double bed, offering superb comfort without compromising daytime living space.

It’s easy to see why end lounge layouts remain one of the UK’s most popular designs.

Perfect for Families

Unlike many motorhomes, the Riva Gold 196 has been designed with family travel in mind.

The front dinette features:

• Four fully belted travel seats all with three point seatbelts

• Two forward-facing seats

• Two rear-facing seats

• Spacious dining area

• Swivelling captain’s cab seats

When parked, everyone can comfortably sit together for meals, board games or planning the next day’s adventure.

Above this area sits one of the motorhome’s cleverest features…

A fully electric drop-down double bed.

At the touch of a button it lowers effortlessly into position before disappearing neatly back into the ceiling during the day.

No cushions to rearrange.

No heavy lifting.

Simply press a button and climb into bed.

A Kitchen Ready for Proper Cooking

Whether it’s breakfast before a day’s cycling or dinner after a coastal walk, you’ll have everything you need.

The kitchen includes:

✔ Dual-fuel hob (3 gas burners plus 1 electric hotplate)

✔ Separate oven

✔ Separate grill

✔ Microwave oven

✔ Spacious worktop

✔ Large fridge with freezer compartment

It’s a proper touring kitchen rather than a compromise.
