- NEW : Adria Adora Isonzo 2021 Caravan
We review the new Adora Isonzo for 2021, and make a comparison to our 2018 model. This is a four berth 8ft wide caravan on a single axle. It is one of the longest caravans available in the UK and offers a side island bed and rear bathroom.
Watch the vlog to find out more.
This vlog was filmed in a sterile environment when the dealership was closed to the public. Due to this a mask was not required to be worn and the Isonzo was sanitised after our filming.

#HereWeTow #Adria #Caravan
Loving the huge bathroom sink! A sink suitable for a good face splash and a wet shave. Well done Adria.
Got to say it but your reviews just get better and better, thanks guys 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Pete that’s very nice of you to say. I hope you are safe and well 😊 Karina
I like it, it looks amazing! Great review, thanks guys
Thanks Sam 😊 Karina
Gotta say just discovered Adria as thinking of a caravan to make post covid memories as a family and I really appreciate and enjoy you videos. Great enthusiasm! Thanks :-)
Thanks Anthony, I hope you find the right caravan for your family. 😊 Karina
Really like that van. Thanks for a really great review!
Thank you for watching 😊 Karina
Very thorough and thoughtful review!
Thank you Patricia 😊
I love the new Isonso it's a great 'Kara'van!
This video is a great in depth, clearly presented review thank you and keep up the great work!
Thanks Dean...like what you did there too 😉 Have a great weekend 😊 Karina
@@HereWeTow I'm glad you spotted what I did there. Not everyone gets my humour.
Have a great weekend Karina!
My ancient Elddis 534 has a payload of 240kg - this is a hefty beastie with even the up-plating. Thanks for reviewing guys, stay safe 😚
That’s a whopper David! I wonder if it was the use of heavier chassis and less concern about weight when yours was produced? Some current payloads give very little margin for being at the limit of the lightweight chassis. Thanks for watching 😊 Karina
That is a very tasty looking caravan. Thanks for the good review. Pete & Kaz 😀😀👍👍
Thanks Kaz and Pete 😊
...A very detailed and well filmed piece. We liked it so much we bought one, it arrived last week and we are very happy with it. ...Thanks. Keep it up.
Oh wow that’s amazing Martyn!! You wont be disappointed I am sure...roll on sites reopening so you can get out and enjoy it. 😊 Karina
I love mine, my wife (the driver) tells me it’s very stable and easy to tow. I had to relocate the spare wheel to the under bed locker to get the nose weight right.
Looks a lovely van, but I would have thought it would have been on a twin axle. Thanks for sharing👍Mark & Coral
Hi Mark and Coral, twin axle caravans are quite unique to the UK. In Europe they don’t tend to move to a twin until they move over 9 metres long or over 2000kg. Adria have put the Sava on a twin axle to satisfy the UK buyers who look for the twin. The bonus of a big caravan on a single axle is you can still manoeuvre it by hand and a single AlKo wheel lock is much easier. 😊👍 I hope you are okay and staying safe, sadly no touring for a while now. Thanks for watching 😊Karina
I’ve always loved these flagship Adrias. So far ahead of British caravans with little touches like adjustable lighting and storage. And the quality is out of this world. I can see why they’re so popular.
Thanks for watching 😊 we like the European manufacturers too, their build and style is always different but we appreciate they are not everyone’s cup of tea. I hope you are okay 😊 Karina
Now DAT IS GAWJUS! I love this. A couple of things for me but not a worry is that the blue stripe on the outside will “date” after the first year and also they could have used sparkly particle board in the toilet! ( not brothel like!). That purple cushion is dire darling I’d find a hedge for that! Other than that it’s a main contender for my retirement money! Plenty of space oh and I would replace that crappy dividing screen with a beautiful curtain on a nice rod! There we have it. Only the best for Peter West! Cheers! Thank you both as ever! Fabulous review! ❤️❤️❤️
😂😂🤣 Peter, you are truly a wasted talent, you should be head of design for a caravan manufacturer! Thanks for watching and leaving a fantastic comment as always 😊👍 Karina
I love some of the new design elements and dislike a few others. That new front locker is awesome and especially being so wide and without the lip is a real bonus. The new sink in the bathroom is a huge improvement and the addition of more USB points is very welcome too. I'm not so keen on the use of different colour woods, especially on the wardrobe having the split design and I really miss the illuminated splash back in the kitchen. I wish also that they had kept the microwave above the sink rather than move it above the hob. You can definitely see where the extra length has helped especially with the table storage. Another great review though and fantastic to get an in depth look to see how the range is evolving.
Thanks Dan, as a previous owner I was keen to see the 2021 model. I like the different colours on the cupboards but agree about the split wardrobe doors. The biggest disappointment is the lack of increased worktop space. I like the new sink too. I would certainly still stick with the Adora range if we were buying again. The added payload is good but only if you have the car to tow it safely. Thanks for watching 😊Karina
Excellent reviewing at here we tow. Consistently good videos and informative. This caravan is huge, I agree, it's a shame about the lack of kitchen side boards. However it is still nice and decent room and I wont lie I did get a bit moist looking at all the new features. Thank you so much as always here we tow. Are you getting motorhome or caravan next time? Xx
Thanks T M, we have placed an order and there will be an update next week 😊👍 Karina
@@HereWeTow how exciting!! Good luck, cant wait to see 😊 x
So many things I like but also so many I don't,Thanks for the vid guys but I'm definitely not changing mine just yet.
Going to look at motorhomes now 😆
😂 It seems to have current Adria owners a bit divided with the new changes. I love it, just a shame we don’t see additional worktop space. Enjoy Motorhome research 😉 Karina
@@HereWeTow Thanks for replying Karina I think you and Jules do a fantastic job and if it wasn't for you I wouldn't even own a caravan let alone an Adria Isonzo.
That’s lovely to hear and we are glad you are happy with your Adria. We cannot wait for our new one to arrive. Caravanning and motorhoming is much more fun than we ever imagined 😊👍
Looks a nice Caravan.😊
Thanks for watching and being number one to comment as always 😊👍 Karina
Travelodge on wheels 🤭. I actually really like it. It seems very bright and airy. Heavy old van though.
Thanks again for good reviews.
Thanks Nigel, it has put on a few pounds with the new model. Thanks for watching 😊
I have been waiting for this video.
I hope it gave you a good look at the Isonzo, thanks for watching 😊 Karina
@@HereWeTowIt's a great video. The increased mtpla is on my limit, so I'm now looking towards Coachman & Bailey. 👍
😊 Yes, it has put a bit of weight on this year from 1750kg to 1900kg
Good balanced review on the caravan. Have a great time in your New M/H. Orders have a lengthy wait due to current situation and potential National Lockdown to be announced next week.
Thanks for watching and we are excited but have a long wait. Im sure it will be worth it 😊 Karina
‘Now I’m going into the kitchen.’ Words I never thought I’d hear Karina say! ;@) Fab review - still a tasty caravan! I do still wish they would offer a front chest with fold-out table though... but then I’m a fussy burger!
🤣 I think it’s quite impressive that I knew where the kitchen was...I didn’t say I knew how to use it. Thanks for watching 😊
As an owner of a 2017 Isonzo, the wider table and wire lockers were a must. I actually prefer the grey colour. Overall the design has been tweaked with some well thought through features. Plus mine was a few £k cheaper.
Bet it's wetted your appetite to have the isonzo again and you know it would be a great choice 😉
😊It would be our choice again, the new model is certainly our style. 👍
Yes I like many aspects of the Caravan especially the lounge, bedroom and bathroom. I agree that more counter space would be better in the kitchen! Great review as always Karina. Pleased to hear you made a positive decision on the Motorhome! Lol. Best wishes Sue, Brian and The Westies👍🐶🐾😀
Thank you Sue and Brian..we are excited and so is Fudge 😊🐾
Another great informative video. The only thing I really don't like and all caravan /motorhome manufacturers do it is put the microwave to high. The reason for this is i see a very nasty accident once were a lady was removing a bowl of very hot soup and spilt it down her front.
Thanks Stephen, yes a good point to mention. Being quite small I find microwaves can be quite high in caravans. 😊 Karina
Love it! It is really a pitty that we can´t get this layout in Germany!
That’s a shame as it is a great layout 😊
Thank you for the review Karina. We are seriously considering changing our Coachman for the Isonzo, despite having only had the Coachman for a short time. We are planning to visit a dealer this next week to have a viewing of the caravan. The storage, lighting, colour scheme and general airiness appeals to us! And our cushions will transfer nicely👍😁. Just one question please....how do you move the bed downwards from it’s upright position? 🤔
Thanks Polly, the Isonzo is certainly worth going to see to get an idea of how it feels to you. There is also the Tiber coming early next year. That has a rear island bed. The bed lowers by lifting the head and it releases the mechanism so the mattress is flat. Each side works independently. To extend the bed it slides out from the bottom. It’s a good idea to go have a look to get a good idea. Check they have a 2021 in stock for you to look at. If you’re anywhere near Cara where we filmed this they have one and they do a 5 year habitation warranty too. Thanks for watching 😊 Karina
Many thanks for the explanation on the bed mechanism Karina. We like the idea of each side working independently too. Thank you also for the advice on the Tiber etc., much appreciated and we have given that some serious thought. It may be worth our waiting for that one to be released before we make a final decision. Oh, and we’ve checked with the dealer and they definitely have a 2021 Isonzo in stock👍😁(Unfortunately Cara are over 2 hours from us and not being in ‘normal’ times, makes the travelling a bit tricky at the mo.😬). Ah well...roll on 2021😊
Hi there, so can you tell me are you going caravan or motorhome ?> what make and model please 😎
Morning Stephanie, we have a vlog out at the start of next week where we let you know what we have gone for and the manufacturer and model we have decided to order. 😊 Thank you for watching our channel, Karina
Hi Karina, does the length of the caravan include the A Frame and hitch or is the 8.23m length just the body of the van only? My car's 'revenue weight' is 2350kg (under 3500kg) so does that mean I wouldn't be able to tow it? Many thanks 😊
Hello David, yes it is the total length including A Frame , the body length is below 7m to comply with UK law around towing lengths. If you car has a revenue weight of 2350kg I take it that is the Gross Vehicle Mass. You need to make sure you cars kerb weight is at least 95% of the MTPLM of the caravan. This is to make sure it is a suitable match and several caravan insurance companies have that stipulation too in the small print. You need to check the max your car can legally tow, towcar.info is a good site to use for a free match checker. You will also need B+E on your licence for this combination. Thank you for watching and if you need any advice we are here to help 😊👍 Karina
@@HereWeTow Hi Karina, many thanks for the info, it has been very useful. As we are 'newbies' I didn't find many suitable vans that would be recommended for me to tow with our car, only recommended for the more experienced! If I'm honest our preference is a campervan conversion because they look fairly easy to drive/manoeuvre and are nice and short, but look a bit compromised for room (which is why we revisited the caravan option!) Having watched your video again where you said you didn't really miss the space in your new motorhome we have just about dismissed the towing option! Just out of interest what are your thoughts on van conversions (eg Elddis CV40/CV80)? Thanks again for your help, we really enjoy your very informative videos 👍👍🙂!!
😂 It is a minefield that is for sure! A van conversion makes for an easy getaway and offers a good payload. There are so many to consider too, Autotrail have the new Expedition which is very well priced. Sun Living offer a well built van for the money and Swift and Roller Team have some good offerings too. These are all going to be similar price to the Elddis. Go and visit several dealerships and see how they feel for you, it will probably be that you look for one thing and find something else totally different. We have a few van reviews from last year which might give you a few ideas. Andrew Ditton has also done a good van review too. Swift Go offer a hire which would allow you to see how you get on with a van or motorhome before spending your money. 😊👍 Karina
@@HereWeTow Thanks again for your advice Karina we will take a look at the other ones you have suggested. Good tip a out the hire before you buy 👍🙂!
What about the backup camera.
TV point in the bedroom?
Hi Gerry, yes it is shown at 13.37 in the video, obscured by the window net. Sorry I didn’t mention it. There is no bracket fitted though so that would be a dealer extra. Thanks for watching, Karina
Could you tow this with a 190bhp skoda superb diesel 2016? thanks
Morning, no the Isonzo would be too heavy as a match for the Skoda and it exceeds the tow ball limit of the car. A safe match for this caravan is a car with a kerb weight of 2000kg and above which would be a large SUV type or pick up. Thanks for watching 😊 Karina
Can anybody tell me what the best towing suv would be for the weight, many thanks
Hi Glen, you would need a SUV with a kerb weight of at least 2000kg as the 2021 Isonzo is 1900kg MTPLM. Even at 2000kg you will be at a 95% match. You will need a noseweight limit of at least 100kg on the vehicle. Any large SUV should be capable of this such as X5, Volvo XC90, VW Touareg, Land Rover Discovery and Defender and Ssangyong Rexton and most of the pick up trucks such as Navara, Amarok and Ranger. The Isonzo is a great caravan to tow but these are heavy and long caravans so a tow car match is essential. I hope that helps 😊 Karina
@@HereWeTow thank you very much for your very well detailed answer, very kind of you, much appreciated, all taken on bored Glen
No problem Glen, if you have any questions our email is herewetow@yahoo.com and we are always happy to help fellow caravan and motorhome folk 👍
We're are the plugs in the kitchen ?
That was my omission Ron, there is one plug socket under the cabinet. It is next to the media control which I do point out. Sorry to miss the plug socket out. Karina
That's a big MTPLM for a single axle!
It is Simon, it’s fairly standard for European manufacturers to have long and heavy caravans on the single axle on the Al-Ko chassis. They do tow very well too and are very well balanced. Thanks for watching 😊
Where’s the socket s for the kettle etc??
There’s one underneath , well noticed Bernard, I overlooked pointing that out. Thanks for watching 😊 Karina
Hi Karina I was going to ask the same question re kitchen sockets, you say its underneath? Underneath where? Great reviews as always, we’re eagerly waiting for the new Tiber cant wait for your review of it. Stay safe.
Afternoon..where the media control is shown, the plug socket is to the right of that and underneath the overhead cupboard. It has a chrome flap cover and is in the back corner if that makes sense. There is a Sava review in the next three weeks and from memory I do show it then. The Tiber will be really popular I think. All being well I will have a review of that once it lands in the UK. 😊 Karina
Adria premium brand?? In the Netherlands it's the cheapest caravan we can buy.
You are lucky to have access to some great European manufacturers, here in the UK the market is dominated by UK manufacturers. Adria has the largest market share here of any EU manufacturer. 😊 Thanks for watching, Karina
@@HereWeTow I think the British make nice and comfortable caravans, but the companies miss the smart marketing as most German companies have. Most Dutch people buy a German caravan, because they are good and easy to find (and have the door on the right side....). It's almost naturally. Most dealers sell German caravans only. I'm curious what the Brexit will do with the continental prices of British caravans? I think nowadays only Sprite makes caravans for the continental market (Swift is here sold as Sprite). My parents had an Adria in the 70's. My grandparents had a Sprite 400 from late 60's.
Yes we saw several Swift caravans on our European tour last year. 😊 Hopefully we will get back over next year once it is safe to travel. Take care.
Very nice but would need a upgraded tow car from VW Tiguan
Yes, you would be in Touareg territory with the Isonzo. Thank you for watching 😊 Karina
@@HereWeTow trying to be eco friendly and low cost car ownership
That’s a tough one then for this sort of weight. I hope the cost of electric vehicles starts to come down.
Only watched 3 mins awful sides the Blue Stripe Makes it look like a HOBBY Caravan, hope the inside is better. 🤔
Sorry doesn’t Float our boat looks cheap and basic didn’t see no kitchen sockets looks ugly from the outside
We all like different things 😊 There is a plug socket under the cupboard in the kitchen next to the media controller, it was my omission for not showing it. Thanks for watching, Karina
