Then what is the blue or pink for?  I use a loo blue at home and would still like to use something if we do ever get a new 'van.  Have they now decided that you don't need to use it? 

Strange...

Hi Mandi Martin

Off subject but what do you think of your new van, i really like the layout of them and seriously would consider one,

Where did you get yours from? I believe the 2009 ones now have proper bed slats in the front instead of having to use the table like the old ones, is this still the case?

Is there now dedicated storage for the table, sorry for all the questions but these we're the reasons we didn't buy one a few years ago. and if this has now been rectified we may re-consider.

We love our swift and its not 2 years old yet but I like the triple bunk idea with the side dinette but also the large(ish) bathroom.

That's good to hear as i wouldn't want to just flush with cold water alone lol. Doesn't it drain the aquaroll that much quicker tho? I guess you just have to make sure before it gets dark that the water has been refilled. We only use the toilet at night and i wouldn't want to have to fill the aquaroll up when its dark lol

we love it! spent alot of time looking at different vans & quickly realised we wanted a triple bunk, didn't like the bailey it felt very enclosed, the adria is very open & looks & feels spacious. the bathroom is a big bounus kids love it they can shower & dress in there our old one you could barely turn round in! the table has its own storage cupboard now & the bed is slatted very easy to make up, theres no fold up or pull out table at the front but we prefer this & theres a huge window cill to put drinks etc on (seemed to get large collection of nail varnish bottles & jelwery on it when we were out!)

we ordered it at the nec show back in october, from Broad Lane Lesuire in the Midlands. I know theres another dealer called Roundstone in Sussex i think. Highly highly recomend it is perfect for larger families plenty of living space & unlike other vans, decent sized over head lockers, i seriously wonder what caravan designers think your gona do with clothes & clutter for 6 people in most of the vans on the market, we actually had several empty cupboards (sure they wont be next time as kids now no they have more storage!) try to go see one i'm sure you'll love it!

Thanks for the advice Mandi.martin,

I am not a fan of broad lane (they have really messed my mum and dad around but thats another story), however I have found a dealer in Gloucester (about an hour away from here) so I think we may go and have a look over the weekend, Really glad your pleased, We do love our swift but I think the triple bunks would work better for us especailly as my 16 month old is an escape artist at least we could find better ways of keeping him in bed on the bottom bunk. Plus we are in the process of becoming foster carers so at least the children could all have there own bunks so less arguing!

Thanks for the feedback, I hope you have a lovely year touring in your new van, we may become an Adria owner to by the end of the year!
