The first of the 2013 season of new caravans has begun to emerge, with Adria Caravans announcing a significant update to their Altea, Adora and Astella ranges.
Announced this week, the Slovenian-based manufacturer has introduced two new layouts – the Adria Altea 532 UP (Trent) and the Adria Adora 643 UT (Thames).
As you might have guessed, the new models are all now named after major rivers, ranging from the lightweight Altea 390 DS (Shannon) to the range-topping Astella 613 KB (Rio Grande).
Key kit upgrades for 2013 include a new Truma heating system, soft-close drawers, redesigned soft furnishings, and a stylish new black refrigerator in the entry-level Adria Altea range.
Weights are unchanged across the board and prices are yet to be confirmed, but the company has confirmed that the first models will go into production in October.
Appealing Alteas
The most eye-catching changes have been made in the Altea range, with Adria clearly aiming for the more affordable end of the market with their 2013 collection.
For added safety, the 2013 Alteas will come with AKS stabilisers as a paid-for optional extra, while the new 532 UP layout promises to be very popular indeed, due to its spacious island-bed configuration (see right).
