I'm not retired (unfortunately!) but we did have an Adria caravan (lots of other people have too) as our first caravan. They are very good vans but it depends on what you want. What is the model of the Adria you've seen? I notice you have a Fleetwood caravan, they were teamed up with Adria before going bust.

Hope you don't mind me asking, but why do you want to hear from retired people who have Adrias?

Why are you wanting to change your Fleetwood if you haven't used it yet? I would not think of changing until you've used it for a few trips away. You need to get a feel for it and the layout to see whether it works for you and then if you decide you need a different layout you'll know what you want from a caravan.

Not retired and have the Adria Altea 542DK (6 Berth) and the quality is great.  Even with it being a good size it is easy to move around at only 1300kg fully loaded.  Because it has a long A-Frame it also makes it bit more stable to tow (so I've heard, not having towed any other make). 

The only bug bare I have with the Adrias and I don't think they are alone in this, is that there are no easy access points for the the front steadies so you need to kneel on the floor to see the bit for the lowering bar (not sure what its actually called) goes into.

Had ours 3 years and with having 2 young boys it still looks as good as new.

Cheers
