NEW Adria Astella! Tiny House, Cabin, or Caravan?

[@andrewjditton]

What is it? A caravan? A tiny house? A cabin? Either way, it's pretty lush! Let me know what you think...

[@patrickeh696]

I vote all three

[@An.Individual]

it's a caravan albeit a large one

[@pinkglovegarage]

Are u in France?

[@bongy36]

It's amazing, whatever it is!

[@ronclark9724]

@@pinkglovegarage No. Düsseldorf is in Germany...

[@stephanieruggles7783]

So nice, what a luxury caravan to indulge in.

[@surfsessions100]

Finally a decent interior design concept for a trailer. No more 90s cabinetry. Would love to see the toy hauler version of this.

[@somestuffithoughtyoumightl6985]

I’ve decide to tow with a van and remove the need for toy hauler compromise

[@jackiemorrison2706]

Not a touring caravan really - but a beautiful studio to stay in if you have a pitch to put it on. Wonderful! I'd move in tomorrow. A lovely writing cabin just for me and my dog :)

[@andrewjditton]

Sounds great!

[@thomasquigley7040]

I'm going to call it a land yacht. The design is very reminiscent of modern sailboats, like Jeanneau or Bavaria. Clean, sleek, and efficient.

[@nicolechappell7404]

That is AMAZING! Finally, a worthy bathroom! I would call it a tiny home, but that's because I would live in it.

[@lindagriffiths5739]

Well what ever it is it is gorgeous, definitely seasonal love the patio doors. I could live in it .👍👍👍

[@user-wq3jv5et8d]

Bring some to North America with an option of a quiet A/C.They will sell like hot pancakes.

[@Guidoqq]

To me the Astella is THE highlight of Caravan Salon👍❤️

[@lorcro2000]

Ah, the good old "if you have to ask what it costs, you can't afford it" category. :) Very swish. I'm not a caravan guy but I can change my mind. Except of course for not being able to afford it. And of course the size and space means it's more transportable than fully mobile. But really, the interior of that is basically what you dream about isn't it? Very high end, spacious, absolutely perfect for a solo dweller or a couple. None of that "family of four nasty compromise" nonsense here.

[@sheens1969]

Looks like Adria have taken the idea from Bailey when they dabbled with the Retreat range, and made it so much better. The Retreat was launched in 2012 and was marketed as a seasonal pitch caravan modelled on a static

[@Warrior6504]

So modern and if future touring caravans are going to be like this then I’m looking forward to it.

[@scottwilson5426]

Home from home. .it might be heavy, it might be long, it is expensive but it's always nice to dream! Only 1 thing missing though doggy bowl !

[@HotelGolf82]

The interior of this is amazing. I dont know what I feel about the outside just yet... But the insides.. Woah!

[@angelapinnock3793]

Luxury caravan. Beautiful! Very homey. And yes, I could definitely live out of it and force me to SUPER downsize & free myself from STUFF...😣

[@lindaelizabethcole3675]

Wowwwwwwwww , that is some caravan , I am totally in awe , absolutely amazing , now if I were a rich woman that would be top of my list !!

[@flybyairplane3528]

Andrew , this is a wonderful carava, great features,,and the bed in back, can be there all day, what a concept for a Caravan, Cheerio, From NJ, USA.

[@anthonycbrown1952]

I think it is great for someone who has vacation property and wants a seasonal home to use while they can take their time and build the permanent structure they wish. When the permanent structure is built, this can serve as a guest house, pool house, and / or destination trailer. It is large for European standards but the smaller unit is quite manageable.

[@crazyduck1254]

i like your commentary, it's sort of minimal and no nonsense rah rah. good work. i feel calm like i'm actually there

[@christoffer1973]

So lovely. Nice whit glamping... nice to see that more modern interior

[@HereWeTow]

Thank you for taking us around it has been so popular out here I have even struggled to get close. 😊👍👍

[@patrickeh696]

I can't believe it for the price. Amazing

[@WimTavernier]

It is a tiny loft on wheels! It is the most beautiful caravan I ever saw. I’m normally not interested in caravans but this one is amazing 😲 I go specially to Dordrecht Open to see this beauty. And of course the other great stuff of Adria. By the way........again a nice presentation Andrew! 👌👍

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Wim!

[@willsgetoff1157]

Think your probably right, seasonal pitch. Definitely an aspirational one. Might but dream.

[@mariaeugenianebotfurest3362]

Hello Andrew . I watch all your videos. Thank you very much for showing us this Alpina model. A hug from Barcelona. Thank you .

[@simonbaxter8585]

Interesting to see a new take on a caravan door too, bring the outdoors in. (A bit like caravan meets panel van motorhome conversion?)

[@spinnekopje]

Although I already saw it in another video, it is nice to see your version as well :-) Thank you Dougal an Fudge for the little extra ;-)

[@tamarafaurot]

It’s beautiful!❤️❤️I could totally live in it!

[@Sidetops11]

If Adria made a conventional caravan based on this exterior and interior look, style and layout - I would be one of the first to buy it.

[@andrewjditton]

You never know Simon...

[@teddysdadcory]

That’s it. I’m moving to Europe. It’s gooooorrrrgeous

[@marc.ohillen1079]

Move over airstream .......Hello Astella ! Love it

[@susanamberg3960]

It's lovely. Here in the USA we call them park models. Usually left on site at a campground.

[@ShouldIstayorshouldItownow]

The future of caravanning! I’m not sure 🤔. The outside looks amazing but I was a little underwhelmed with the interior. Great review Mr Ditton. Thank you for sharing.

[@bernadettehooper4318]

Thanks for the tour. Very sleek. Love it. Tiny Home or Cabin.

[@nealeburgess6756]

I love the layout, especially the double doors. Shame its so heavy. I would like those doors combined into a "normal" fixed double bed caravan.

[@WillHawkinsDigitalBusiness]

I like it, Andrew. Mind you, I like Adria designs overall. I can see this being popular in the UK and fuelling the AirBnB market and attracting seasonal pitch devotees. I could live in one too! 😀

[@tassiedevil6933]

Nice one Andrew, you are in the know! thanks for the private tour it is lovely, though cleaning all those mirrors would be time consuming but a nice time on rainy days, love the reclining lounge, and I could easily slide into this luxury living cheers from Australia.

[@TheRedmarlboroman]

This is good. Love this. It is a new concept to caravan.

[@blurayffan66]

Lovely- only negative is all that space wasted behind the sofa with the plants in...there must be about 2 extra feet there!

[@andrewjditton]

I think that's where the bed base lives. I only had 5 minutes unfortunately.

[@fredotcho]

It seems that there is front storage here. A panel outside can be lifted to access the propane tanks and two side compartments.

[@paulandbiancaadventures3458]

Wow, it’s amazing. Call it what you like, I like it 👍🏼 thanks for showing us around

[@sundialsoft]

Only 5 minutes, very generous of Adria. Surely they don't have so many 'influencers' queueing up to look at it that they can't give you half an hour ho have a real good look. I'm a camper van chap so not directly interested in this but it looks nicely done.

[@nfoss5656]

It’s lovely. It doesn’t look like it’s aerodynamic so I would use it as a cabin.

[@RobS32]

Love it pal. Great way forward for Caravan planning. Thanks for this simple informative walk around as usual. Brilliant👍😎

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Rob!

[@grannieannie1371]

Oh I love it. It is a caravan companies response to a tiny home. It would be great for young people who can't afford a house but could perhaps live in this cheaply till they can afford a house or land. It looks very comfortable.

[@craigscott7798]

Been looking forward to seeing this version. Thank you. Tried to find a 2016 model a couple of years back but this is unrecognisable to the former Astella. Totally agree this is more for seasonal pitches or permanent living. Let's hope we get a peak at the NEC next month (doggies on tour)

[@eileengale9839]

I want one!, Beautiful! Finally....Great Style!

[@tophat6696]

I am going to say caravan, it’s really fresh. Hope to see it at the nec 🎩👌😉🇬🇧

[@colinrimmer789]

Beautiful styling but I was a little disappointed with the interior I was expecting it to be more spacious. Lovely engineered, I’m a Swift owner but I love the Adria finish and detail. Think I’d miss towing though.

[@Anne-hv2xp]

Wow...all I need now are my lotto numbers and a fab pitch, I would live it . great review👏💕

[@Anne-hv2xp]

Typo..live in it.

[@bjorn2fly]

Love it, but miss maybe a slide out or a roof sleeping room or maybe a roof terrasse, or maybe a back end terrasse. Anyway, love it, but what is the price?

[@richardtarrragona519]

Good job!! Astella i love it!!

[@jedics1]

'Its not fore everybody' Its going to appeal to a lot more ppl than any caravan Ive ever seen!

[@Dusty2feathers]

A terrific looking leisure vehicle. Very plush and practical. The uk manufacturers playing catch up as usual. Superb practical features and luxuries. Exemplary.

[@jeanforlano4517]

Liked it a lot, but didn’t get the planter behind the sofa.

[@jinjimintaehobiyoongijooni2875]

Awesome model!

[@annettefournier9655]

Thanks for the peek Andrew. A beast of a box. Not a fan of this one. To each there own.

[@TvanBoven]

If I had a patch of land (5 acres or so), very remote and away from it all , then this seems like a great solution. It is not permanent so no planning permission needed to put it there. But not as a seasonal pitch on a regular campsite ... it is way too beautiful for that ... not ?

[@campertobi]

And the Oscar goes to: ANDREW DITTON. What a nice presentation! Gratulation my friend. W O W!

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you my friend :)

[@TheVera9966]

Long time no see Andrew. I am pleased to see you again. How is Dougal doing? I hope he is fine. I see the new Adria Estella, what a nice caravan! It's top notch. I wish I could live in one like it and travel around Europe! Actually, I lived in a caravan in Kingfisher Caravan Park (Gosport, Hampshire) at Browndown road. It was such an amazing time!

[@nigelseviour2830]

Yes a lovely well made ? mobile or static caravan I think that as you have already suggested it may be a little to big for the uk roads but may well appeal to some.

[@waynesait9876]

Bob Rogers Saturday night special

[@andrewseamaster]

why would they still do the fold-out sink in a Lux Cabin? why can't we have a decent washroom?

[@stefanwriede5893]

Hey Andrew, Nice Video and great Caravan. For me, the 3000kg is a Nummer, so more a tiny House. But window and Door concept should good ideas for traveling Caravans also. BR Stefan 🤗

[@krippleinacaravanxxx707]

Oh dear I can’t believe I don’t like it! The chavs in Benidorm would love this! ☹️☹️☹️

[@04poppop]

Its perfect solution for my garden to keep it there and use it all studio flat all year. Just wonder what is it like dragging this little house on the wheel behind car and what car I need to be able to make it.

[@mogumede8211]

It's bloody fantastic is what it is!

[@muddymarvellous]

Yes I could live in it too ...Hi Dougy x

[@FoodRavel]

This is so stunning...

[@rosemariehomeyerbente1832]

It’s a dream. Bring it to the south west USA.

[@joostbrouwer472]

if they can make a smaller version which you can tow with a normal car,say 1500 kg,I am game. love the double doors, the sofa which is comfortable,and a REAL bathroom. should be possible to make a 5 meter version

[@gailcooper3550]

What a beautiful van 👍😁

[@TheMightyQuinn1312]

Love the mirror hellows. And sometimes even apologising for the stupidity of it 😁

[@dawngreen4074]

Looks swish but reservations on the practicality of using/living in it... Dining? Visitors on a cool day? Aerodynamics? Tow handling? Shiny surfaces and fingerprints (lol)! Would love you to have this for a few weeks and report back!

[@andrewjditton]

I'd love to have one for a few weeks too!

[@jehnasjunk]

I admit I didn’t look through all the comments for an answer (because that’s a lot of comments) but are there other shades or something for the slider, for privacy? Those drapes are cool looking, but they’re like lace at night.

[@hayard61]

Well! I'm really lovin that.😲👌

[@pacaluvr7963]

Definitely luxurious

[@markpullinger7324]

Hi Andrew looks lovely but lounge doesn't look comfy was it As always good video

[@AbsoluteScotch]

Double Hello?? What a treat!

[@pauldickson5387]

Absolutely LOVE IT! Go Adria 👌🏻

[@grahamdunsford5164]

Stunning I would definitely love one of those for my seasonal pitch home from home

[@TheUrbanSplash]

Thanks for showing this, but what can tow it into position? Even if used as a seasonal pitch. Even a Discovery can’t tow it. Good job though.

[@turnbullstravels735]

Ross D we would tow that with our large truck. Want one so badly, it is so much more beautiful than anything we can get here in the US. Jealous!

[@Cryptohogg]

Spectacular

[@justinlinnane8043]

Great idea and Adria's in house modernist design approach is perfect for this . A little unadventurous on layout and use of space though . They could have been a bit more creative with this. love the concept though

[@OverlandingNL]

Saw 2 of these at the introduction in the Netherlands. They have all kinds of layouts I guess because the one we went into had the kitchen in the back. Though they were 60k and 70k so expensive! Wasn't busy at all, but I guess it was because it was outside and raining :p

[@MrRawUK]

Very modern caravan. I'd live in that all day but I guess the prices would be insane! You'd also need to be able to virtually drive a lorry to be able to tow it?

[@mishu3271]

An interesting concept...1/2 tiny house, 1/2 caravan. I like how the finishes echo a residential home more than an RV we would see here. Andrew..where would you be allowed to legally park this other than a seasonal pitch? Here they have a “Z” code meaning they are only allowed in trailer parks. I did have a delightful modern park model that was four season but could only be in an RV park. Required wide load towing. So many building restrictions here 😖 Were Dougal’s feelings hurt when you said “I could live in one of these...” 😢

[@carlyndolphin]

I love it but where can you pitch these things?

[@theuktoday4233]

Typically German precisely engineered hopefully it is more reliable than any of the new BMW range. That is very elegant as no doubt the price is. If Carlsberg made caravans ~

[@stuipooey1]

But it's not a German van, Adria is from Slovenia, a lovely van indeed

[@samirdamardji6643]

It’s a dream absolutely wonderful 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🇫🇷

[@andrewjones-productions]

When you consider that most larger livestock trailers (fully laden) are heavier than this, there is really no reason why you wouldn't be towing this in the Outer Hebrides. Especially if you are as familiar with the roads as you are Andrew. I think the width of the caravan is much more of an issue than its weight. Obviously, to tow this Astella, a large and powerful vehicle will be necessary. Your pickup should manage it i would think. I like this Astella, but its a caravan for those who are experienced towers only. It's also only for those with deep pockets.

[@andrewjditton]

You'd need a commercial vehicle and licence to tow this in the UK due to its length Andrew.

[@byRosenfeldt]

Summer cabin only, since you have to sit outside to eat dinner :-)

[@lynnebarnett2044]

What about the outside, connections, power, water etc.

[@LoveandStatus]

As a seasoned caravaneer would you choose the Adria or Airstream as your luxury Air bnb?? I love what Hoffman architecture have done with living vehicle but the new cost of $200k USD and the weight eek.

[@andrewjditton]

Hmm... that's a toughie. Airstream in the US and Adria in Europe I'd say.

[@jwatkins5155]

If i still lived on a circus, this would be a nice home.

[@janetwhincup8057]

Where was the wardrobe space, coat cupboard?

[@GediSpock]

Very nice indeed.

[@LogitechXibanga]

3:21 That Mr Bean moment when he says hello to the mirrow LMAO

Oh we are in love with this, will have to have a look if it comes to the NEC. Thanks P&J
