Which 2025 Adria caravan is right for you?

As its name implies, the Action has a sporty image; a curved body shape, a comparative light weight – and a stunning appearance.

Initially introduced in 2005, it was an instant hit. Twenty years on, it’s still very much in action – and has earned icon status. The curvy lines are almost unchanged – and so is the layout. That’s a rear kitchen, with a combined shower and toilet compartment alongside it, and a large seating area that wraps around the whole front end of the caravan. That converts into a large double bed.

Kitchen equipment is a two-burner hob and a combined oven/grill. No microwave.

The fridge sits above a cabinet, forward of the shower room. The cabinet has three shelves – or you can remove the top shelf and use it as a wardrobe; a rail slides out from the ‘roof’ of the cabinet; clever!

The Action’s front window arrangement is another feature that sets it apart from all other caravans. It reaches high up into the roof and, below it, there’s a smaller window.

Considering the size of the caravan, there’s an impressive amount of storage capability, with lots of space under the settees, plus two small cabinets over the lounge, and first-rate kitchen storage space.

There are three layouts in the Altea range, all named after British rivers. That’s the Tyne, with twin beds, the six-berth Avon, and the Dart, with a rear bedroom and a central shower-toilet configuration.

The Tyne’s lounge can be converted to a double bed, making it a four-berth. The kitchen is on the offside, with a 140-litre fridge.

The Avon is a star performer caravan for a young family in that it has three bunks in a stack – which means the bottom bunk is close to floor level, so the little caravanner sleeping here would merely roll onto the carpet if he or she should fall out of bed. Usefully, the base bunk area can be used for storage – there’s a hatch to the exterior.

There’s a fixed ladder for the central and top bunk. Opposite, the seating area for two converts to a bed. And, at the rear, between the two bed areas, there is a wardrobe.

Opposite the Avon’s kitchen is the combined shower/toilet compartment. At the front, the seating extends all of the way around the caravan. A hinged coffee table pops up at the centre-front – and when it’s down, the amount of seating space is huge; well up to the caravan’s six-berth task. And on the offside, between the seating area and the shower room, is a second wardrobe.

The Dart has the luxury of a rear bedroom. Forward of it is the shower, on the nearside, and the toilet/washbasin compartment is opposite. When you open the door of the toilet area, it swings across the caravan to latch on the forward end of the shower compartment. At the rear of the shower/toilet area, a sliding door divides it from the bedroom. This arrangement means the washing area can be closed off from the kitchen, becoming en suite to the bedroom, or closed off from the bedroom, meaning that people sleeping in the double bed that can be made in the lounge can have the shower en suite to them. It’s a popular arrangement and the Dart executes it excellently.

The Dart has a 140-litre fridge and good storage capability in the kitchen.

All three Alteas have inline, three-burner hobs and combined oven/grills, plus microwaves.

Four models to choose from, all named after European rivers. The Seine is a classic two-berth, end-kitchen layout; the Tiber is the same layout as the Dart; the Isonzo has a transverse island bed and a rear shower room, and the Sava is Adora’s family layout.

Now for the details. All models have the Adria signature wrap-around lounge layout, with hinged coffee tables centre-front.

The Seine is a standard-width caravan, at 2.29m. The shower room spans the width of the caravan behind the twin beds. Its kitchen is on the offside, with the fridge to the rear of it. A hinged extension increases kitchen surface area. Like all Adora models, it has an oven with a separate grill, plus a three-burner hob.

The wardrobe is opposite the kitchen, with a cabinet alongside.

The Tiber, while the same layout as the Dart, is wider, at 2.46m – so, if you like the Dart’s layout, but want more space, this is the one for you.

The kitchen is identical to that in the Seine, this time with the 140-litre fridge opposite. Immediately behind is the shower and wash zone, of the same layout as that in the Dart – only with a wider corridor between the shower and the toilet compartment.

The Sava is Adora’s only twin-axle model. It’s 2.46m wide and has two fixed bunks on the nearside with two more to convert from the seating and table area opposite. The shower room is at the rear, occupying the whole width of the caravan. A large, double-doored wardrobe is forward of the bunks.

Adoras are distinguished by concave locker doors; super stylish! They have Alde heating.

Isonzo has been a best-seller for Adria from its first appearance, and it twice won awards with Caravan magazine. It has a transverse island bed, rear shower room and – like the other Adoras – plenty of lounge space, thanks to its 2.46m width and U-shaped seating arrangement.

The kitchen has ample surface (and with a hinged extension) and storage space (in three large drawers). The 140-litre fridge is aft of the kitchen, and opposite, is a generously sized wardrobe. The Isonzo has a super-spacious feel, which goes some way to explain its popularity among buyers.

Adria’s top-spec range offers three layouts, all 2.46m wide. One of them is not just unique, but stunningly different to all other caravans on the British market. That’s the Rio Grande, which has its kitchen at the front and its lounge in the centre, comprising an L-shaped sofa and another one opposite, seating at least two. The L-shaped sofa has corner headrests. The kitchen surface space is generous, and so is storage space, with three large drawers plus a cabinet to the left of the kitchen, and this incorporates an extra wardrobe – perfect for coats as you step in through the doorway. (There are also wardrobes on each side of the bed.)

The transverse island bed and shower room are at the rear. The bed structure enables you to raise the pillow end to turn the bed into a sunlounger-style day relaxing area – and a TV bracket mounted on the opposite wall means television watching here is catered for.

The Colorado is the only Alpina to ride on twin axles. This model has twin beds, with the shower room at the rear. As with all models in the range, it has the Alde heating system.

Its kitchen is on the offside, with the 140-litre fridge opposite. Forward of this is a cabinet, with TV connections and a bracket above. And here you find a feature unique to the Alpina range: a small lamp and its own charging dock; you can move the lamp anywhere, and then return it to its station for recharging.

The lounge follows the Adria convention of having wrap-around seating; like the Rio Grande, it has headrests; this time in the front two corners.

The Mississippi is the Alpina to consider if you want an island-bed caravan with a rear shower room and a wrap-around lounge. Like the Colorado, it has corner headrests, and upholstered sections at the front edges of the seating units, creating a luxury look. Also like the Colorado, the pillow sections of the bed can be raised; another nice touch of luxury.

All three Alpinas have an ingenious system of movable shelving in the kitchen; small shelves clip to brackets, so you can place them wherever you wish on these brackets.

And buyers can choose from grey fabric upholstery or cream leather.
