Adria ,do they have a damp problem ? Or any particular problems ? We have seen two one new. one a couple of years old. both 6 berth . We have had problems with vans(New) in the past. one had us off the road for a year until we got our money back. So it has made it us wary of buying .so any feedback would be helpful Thank you pam

The company that recently repaired my caravan swear by them. (They don't sell them) and owners all seem very happy with them. For me imho it's a shame they seem to have got wider and heavier unless I bought an older one.

I didn't have a damp problem with an Adria Adora 532.

I was impressed with the build quality, and features.

If you want to do some serious research....

Tally up how many posts there are of people with 'issues' on here and maybe on other forums / sites, of UK built vans, to Euro built vans....

I am on my second Adria, first was a 2009 542DK, and was super impressed with the built quality and the differences the the UK vans.

We wanted a fixed bed so now have a 2012 612DT.
still a 6 berth but with a king sized fixed at the rear.

Love the new 8ft vans but just to much money and as they last so long (know lots of owners who still love there pre 2000 vans) you wont get that from most UK vans.

Adria is the only European brand to make the door for the UK market so it has door on our side and adds the ESSENTIALS......items the UK market want. Oven, electric heating (be careful here as not all Adria's have this as standard BUT it is an option to add aftermarket as the heaters are Truma)

Our Altea did not have electric heating and we just used the gas, the Adora has it as its the range above.

Some other advantages - longer A frame means it tows better AND you can add a twin bike carried to it.

The air envelope means no cold spots and is the main reason that damp is unlikely to develop once in use.

Can you tell I am a fan. There is a Facebook group called
We Love Adria ( Caravans and Motorhomes )
If you read it you will discover that owners rarely have issues.

Best people to ask for an unbiased view is of course a caravan service guy - they will give you warts and all opinions on all caravans.

Which ones were you looking at?

The replies say a lot about Adria .You would get a very different response if you asked the same question about Bailey Caravans.

Did that someone, know what they were talking about or just assuming they must be bad because they aren’t British.
