Adria 542 UK

very good layout twins love the bunkbeds. we love the horseshoe seating area

a bit minamalistic inside however very practical. love the space.

easy to tow very stable at motorway speeds.however at 23feet long need to be carefull.

After spending my youth on family holidays i find myself following in my parents footsteps and the cycle begins again as me, my wife and two daughters take the leap from canvas.

We spent several months learning the differences between models and layouts and when we went to the caravan show at the NEC we found the Altea 542DT.

The ideal way to describe the van in general is "very fit for purpose".

The layout suits those who need room to move and the storage space is class leading.

The bathroom is extremely clever and coupled with the new wider caravan door makes this a great choice for those of us with disabled children as you can sit on the loo and help them shower without having the door open.

The bunks are super comfy and wide.

It tows lovely, the single axle and longer A frame make for a very stable ride, but I did invest in the Alko 3004 triple pack!

Pound for pound i couldn't find a better van.

We saw the Adria when we went to Earls Court - it was the first 5 berth we saw when we entered the show. We spent the whole show trying to find something close in terms of level of equipment for the money - it couldn't be done !

South Wales Caravans did a cracking deal and we got an oven, awning and practically everything other than cutlery in the price of the van - less than 9 grand !

Two seasons later, we still love it and can't see other manufacturers' models that match it in terms of layout, airy interior or anywhere the price!
