I am looking to change my 6 berth fleetwood heritage 580, 2000 for something a bit newer with fixed bunks at the rear.

I quite like the Abbey vogue 540, but they are a bit too expensive for me and a tad to heavy.

Can anyone recommend something with similar layout but 1400kg or less at around 8k.

Cheers.

can vouch for Adria for the spacious lay out ..... but there after sales is a pile of poo
im waiting for a wall panel and high level door from them .... and its been 2 years reported ... all we get is its in the manufacturers hands

I have looked at the 542 DT and DK today, both look good and would suit our needs, new ones are a bit out of my price pint to move.

Will need to look for a 2008/9 model but they seem hard to find.

Nice van though, cheers.

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

it`s only Meee

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.

Good luck with your search.

Regards

We have a 2008 Lunar Zenith, 6 berth. Max laden weight 1300kg with fixed bunks.

Good price for these if you shop around and within your budget.

Thanks for the ideas, plenty to look round for now.

Cheers.
