2024 Adria Action 391 revue

I take a brief look at the latest Adria Action the 4 berth, nice little tourer but its not all a bed of roses!

Love the basecamp 4

It is a great tourer and UK!

Great Vlog Andy, I think the Swift Basecamp 4 is a much better option, another £1000, but far superior. The Adria looks very basic.

Hi Conrad - yes and also better to sell on than the Adria to - early Actions exterior blue plastic moulds would fade over time and you hardly see one of the first generation Actions

Hi Andy, nice to get a look inside the Adria. Modern looks on the outside will appeal to the younger buyers, but I do think the interior is very old school. Seating is very basic and the heater looks a bit dated but it does look very well built and finished despite the use of plastic filler caps. Good buy for the young couple's that will make use of the under bed storage for toys etc but for us oldies the lack of home comforts in seating and a wardrobe it's a non runner. Great review as always, keep them coming.

@@kevinflood8212 Thank you Kevin - I think sales will be limited and its up against Base Camp 4 to. Yes seating is poor and lockers not deep but overall its a well made tourer and is typically Adria in many ways.

HI Andy, i never normally comment though as lovely as these refined lifestyle vans are, its the cost of them that now puts them in a completely unfordable bracket to justify what is essentially a hobby. The site fees now are no longer that affordable for couple or family holidays post Covid, with many sites not reducing their prices and now charging per person, and therefore pricing themselves out of the market. I think its all got out of hand, with dalers now cosing or reverting to motorhome sales only as these can essentially be parked anywhere for buttons when of to central Europe.

Thank you for comment - I agree prices are steep - I openly admit I cant at present afford site fees and as you say its become expensive. Yes motorhome sales have done ok and many users can stop over in a layby where a touring caravan isnt allowed. - pushing electric cars again wont help though more sales on hybrids are increasing. But from the time I took caravanning up after my parents it was still a great value holiday £6 inc electrics at end of 80's! I towed with a 1.3 Astra loved it-thank you

Cracking little van for an outdoorsy family. The seats seem a bit minimalist but I like the exterior funky design. I’m guessing there’s no wardrobe as the designer assumes people will leave their gear outside or in an awning. It seems a bit weird.

[@caravanindustryexpertandyjenk]

Its another alternative - Bailey or Elddis should have something like it - but no wardrobe could for some be a deal looser - thanks for you comments
