Depends on the features and spec you want, but I'd seriously consider the Adrea Altea's, either the 542DK or 542DT - see here. Very roomy and reasonable spec, plus wider bunks than most competitors too.

Which Adria do you have? We love ours and I have found what minor warranty issues we have had have been sorted out very quickly but to be honest these were more to equipment fitted i.e. charger and fridge rather than Adria specific items. The bunks are Huge as is the wash room on ours. We have the 542DT

we have the Adria Altea 542UK its the 2009 model bought it 2008
we are suffering de-lamination of the top lockers and the back wall in the shower has a ripple in the lamination ... parts were ordered 2008 and we are still waiting on delivery from Adria
buttons are constantly popping off the seating ... but thats an easy fix for us to re-fix them
Adria adora 532 UK - we bought it for £8600 having sold our Bailey Pageant Bretagne 6 for £9,400 ... because the bunks are so much bigger than the bailey for our growing boys (nice for an adult afternoon snooze)- trade off is a complicated double front bed, quite nasty upholstery (overcome by a couple of cushions and new tie backs), no microwave, generally less easily accessible storage, no table to use in awning as it is used for the bed, BUT massive windows and LOTS and LOTS of light - feels like a room rather than a corridor cos it is much wider. No awnng electicity socket. We have the 2008 model. We love it. Worth checking out.
Good luck!
We have a Fleetwood version of an Adria caravan. We love it. Looked at a lot of caravans before chosing this one. Ours is not the model for you, but look for Fleetwood Sonata range, they were made by Adria in Slovenia but have a higher spec. The plate inside the door says Adria as does the book pack so even though Fleetwood do not exist anymore you can still get parts for them from Adria. The Fleetwood's tend to come with 3 windows across the front instead of just one, bbq gas point, outside 240v socket, gas and electric water heater (some Adria's are only electric), charger for leisure battery (again some Adria's do not have this fitted as standard) but i believe it was standard from 2009 models.
We like the airy feel of ours and the non flowery type upholstery and the lack of microwave does not bother us as we never use one, even at home.
We are also thinking of upgrading to a six berth, I like the look of the Adria but we recently had a look at the Sprite Major 6, we thought that it was a nice van, reasonably priced with good spec and only at only 1422kg fully laden quite light, perhaps the Sprite is worth considering.
