As I was working near to a caravan dealer recently I decided to pop in and take a quick look an Adria van they had in stock.

A couple of hours later I came away having traded in our Bailey 540/6 for an Adria Altea 542 DT !!!   Slightly worried as my wife or the kids hadn't even seen it.

We were booked to go away in just one weeks time, but a massive thanks to the guys at Venture Caravans who made a huge effort and got the new van ready for us to go away in.

We have just returned from that holiday and have to say I am very impressed with the Adria.   Very stable when towing, great build quality and the kids love the massive bunks.

Can't wait to go away again now !

We got our adria 542dt from there too and agree with your comments.    There seems to be a few of us on the forum who got an adria from venture!

Good for weight loss going to caravan dealers, you always come away pounds lighter.

The Adria club just gets bigger we too have the triple bunk DT, but the Sportline model. Obviously from Venture too as that's their dealer special. Absolutely love ours, we will have had ours 3 months by the end of August, and had 23 nights in it enjoy

We have had ours for 7 nights and already done 5 nights in it. Not bad going, but I'm not sure we can keep up that ratio of holiday / work!

I have been looking around the forums since buying the van (that's probably the wrong way to do it) and it all seems to be good comments regarding the Adria 542 DT / DK

So far Very Impressed...

I just bought an adria it's 2 years old no dealers in our area. I love it great to her all these great reports of Adria caravans. First time away next week very excited to try it out especially as its our first caravan upgraded from folding camper

We have recently bought an Altea 432px gorgeous van with a fixed bed. 2006 but seems a lot newer as more modern than a lot of other similar ages vans.

Well done. We absolutely love our 542dt infact in it right now. Hope you enjoy it. We love spotting other adria owners. P.s if you work out how to get the cover off the awning light let me know I'm still struggling :-) .enjoy your new van.

Our awning light is accessed through the kitchen cupboards is that not the same for you?

No the kitchen is on opposite sides and I've had a check of all cupboards in the right area.

Ahhh, that's a shame. Maybe message Adria or see if you can find out via a service centre.
