Riva make a Dash for the N.E.C.  

Gerry and I visited the Motorhome and Caravan Show on Friday (19^th October) the new model had pride of place on the Riva stand.

‘An entry level or first time buyer model’ had centre stage. Priced at just over £3,000 it has been designed with young families in mind but interestingly enough the Show model had already been snapped up by a couple of more mature years.

  

As expected the ‘solid door and window ends’ have gone, to be replaced with P.V.C. ends, the door is zipped as a tent and the window is clear P.V.C with a vent and flap. There are no internal fittings, other than two small lockers fitted to the left and right of the door. The Show model had a ‘beanstalk kitchen unit but just for display purposes. It has been planned so that internal fittings can be added at a later date, if required. The settee has been replaced by a second double bed, both of which are capable of being enclosed with a roof liner and curtains similar to the inner tent in a frame tent. The chassis was very much as standard, Dart size, with a gas bottle box. The unit comes complete with a Sun Canopy. Of cause as usual, the full range of additional accessories is available to suit the individual customer.

 

Well worth considering by a family looking moving to their first Folding Camper from a frame tent but it is also sufficiently versatile for older people because of it being much lighter to handle.
