  • After 14 nights in our Adria Twin Supreme 640SLB 2019, it was time for an owners review. I go over some of the points I found important. If you have any questions let me know!

    Well, there is no need to me to film a review now as you have already done such a great job! I'll just put up a link to your video ;@) It's interesting to see the different fridge configuration. As you probably know, mine has the air conditioning unit in the back which makes the bed area SO gloomy. I agree with everything except the drawers under the kitchen - mine work just great! A small nudge and they take themselves back AND latch. So maybe that can be fixed with some kind of adjustment? My review will be around mid-August after the Hebrides series but it will be really short as I'm just going to send people here :) Veel plaisir op je vakantie, het zou tof zijn jullie ontmoeten bij de Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf?

      Thank you! And kudos again for your dutch 👌. After the camping season, I’ll have it checked out. If you say yours is working it should. When are you going to the salon, because it sounds like an excellent plan and not that far for me.

      @@vanlossie I thought you were Belgian ? In Holland we don't try to speak the language as people seem to get upset if you think they can't speak English :) ps: We tried out the shower in the Hymercar. It worked really well and 20 minutes gave enough hot water for two showers. Our drawers under the kitchen do manage to unlatch sometimes even though we double checked they were closed and many of the self closing hatches needed adjustment. Still not seen an Adria in the flesh though Andrew D. is all over the place so will probably bump in to his bright loaner.

    Hi there, I have a 2023 Adria Twin Plus 600 automatic, I love it, of course when I ordered the camper in Belgium, the seller did not order some options I wanted, but it is what it is. But I'm happy with this model. I'm from Ieper by the way. I installed 2 x100ah lifepo4 batteries with an inverter. O don't use the gas burners , I have an induction on my batteries. My fridge is 13) liter one. Silent. Works very well. The cabin is like you said, it's spacious. My Truma is electric/gaz just like yours. AGM batteries are two heavy ( 27kg each). I paid 350€ for a lifepo4 battery (11kg) they work great. Everything works like a charm. You own a "gem" of a camper, congratulations. Take care man ! Tot volgende keer. Roger.

      My electric heater gave out this year. I have ordered aftermarket replacement because the truma ones cost 1000€ 😳. The problem is that I now need to replace them myself which means taking out the entire heater.

    Great review. Lots of enjoyment ahead for you and your family. I really like the comfortmatic gearbox. My only issue is pulling away quickly at roundabouts. I'm thinking of trying out switching to manual before a big busy roundabout to see if that works better. The Hymercar does have flush windows and looks much better though that's not something you can upgrade so just love the windows you have. We spec'd just the things we wanted to keep the cost reasonable so we have the radio wiring & speakers but not the radio because I want to fit an Apple CarPlay one. Sadly they did not appear to pre-wire for a reversing camera just the power for it so I need to get a cable front to back. Hymer did not offer radio selections just the expensive sat nav and the dealer would have been very expensive. Engine wise we picked the 130 bhp and it drives well and is the most popular option. The Adria front cabin with roof light looks superb. We have the over-cab storage which is useful and a roof light over the table. Having had a Qashqui with panoramic roof I know we kept it covered most of the time so I don't cover the level front one in the Adria. You have a lovely big fridge.

    We took a trip to the Adria UK preview, glad I waited and happy I chose Adria
    2020 models now have flush windows
    New 9 speed real auto gearbox option
    Oven / grill
    Auto has160bhp, Stop Start, AdBlue ?
    Some other driver assistance stuff and different Sat Nav / Infotainment screen.
    Think I remember some reading lights / usb’’s on both side of rear bed too 😊
    Ambient lighting has changed too - seem to have added more strip lights 🤔
    SGX differs by having Webasto diesel heating and whale boiler
    Which I think is fitted under the van ?
    Electric lift double bed and bigger garage But the disadvantage - it has less cupboard space at the rear.
    Great van
    Good Value for money and very clever design
    Enjoy the trip 👍
    Be careful out there 😎

    Dag Van Lossie. Mijn vrouw en ik hebben net de versie 2020 besteld bij dezelfde dealer als jij. Heel fijne, eerlijke reviews en hopelijk worden ze nog veel bekeken, ook door de mensen van Adria. Zodra we zelf ervaringen hebben met onze Adria, zullen we die delen op jouw kanaal. Zondag 8 september zijn we naar Düsseldorf geweest. Heel veel campers gezien maar Adria kwam wel in onze top 3. Mooie oplossingen bij Westfalia maar inderdaad te duur. Hymer viel een klein beetje tegen maar eigenlijk is vergelijken oneerlijk omdat we tot voor kort alleen keken naar modellen tot 6m en niet langer. Moet ook gezegd dat de 2020 versie van de 640 SLB ook al een aardig prijskaartje heeft. Badkamer en afwerking zijn voor ons doorslaggevend geweest in aankoop. Nog veel plezier.

    Hey,Wij hebben dezelfde Van als jullie.Ondertussen 12000km sinds februari.De achterste+zijruiten vind ik juist super doordat je op echt warme dagen 360 graden kan verluchten.Alsof je onder een muskietennet ligt...Verzonken ramen zijn inderdaad wel mooier.De opbouw ramen isoleren wel heel goed.Usb poort achteraan is wel een gemis.Het optionele bed hebben we in de grote vakantie gebruikt toen we met ons drie zijn weggeweest.Dit ligt nu op de zolder en zal niet snel nog gebruikt worden wegens te omslachtig en lomp om gedurende de dag weg te steken.De touch led lampen zijn van ondermaatse kwaliteit.150 liter frigo is een must.De garage is moeilijk goed te benutten en gevoelig voor krassen en gebruiksporen.Meestal hangen wij een gesloten aanhangwagen aan.Sky roof en fris interieur waren bij ons de doorslaggevende factor om over te gaan tot kopen.Over het algemeen zijn wij redelijk tevreden over onze aankoop.Het blijft toch veel geld voor een aangeklede camionette.Have fun grtz Hans

    The Adria has a nicer front grill badge than the Hymercar however I discovered that the Hymer badge is just fitted over the top of the FIAT badge so I was able to remove it and now have a front badge to match the badges on the alloy wheels. They just stuck command strips on the Fiat badge (like Velcro) to hold it on.

    To fix the rear window problem when sleeping, you could design two small wooden panels covered in similar grey fabric and push them behind your mattress between the door and mattress for the night (one for each side). Maybe just 1/3 of the height of the window could be sufficient. That way your pillows would be against the temporary panel, not the curtain. For additional comfort, you could put a little bit of foam behind the fabric, so your fingers and head would touch soft panel.

    I personally love the back and side windows, would not choose to be without them. Nice if you are parked in a wilder place to be able to see out of each side!! In a warmer climate each person can have what air they want! Agree need to do something with the back blinds.
    Unbelievable only only set of usb plugs in the bed room area.
    We hired a van with big skylight windows and if you are parked where there are street lights even with blinds it was bright! So not so good in the back! Great video thank you. The shower area looks so easy to use.

    I think I am the only person in the world who still wants that very practical shelf above the front seats instead of the spacious feel without it. Our previous car had it and when we started looking for a new one, that was one of the two no-compromise -criterias (the other one being a Diesel Trumatic) and it narrowed our options quite a bit (here in Finland we don't have that many brands available). Ended up choosing the Hymer Grand Canyon which will arrive as soon as 5/2022

    Great review , I love your videos. Unfortunately we went to our local Adria dealer and they had sold the twin supreme they had in stock, so wouldn’t let us see it. He then said they would not get any in the UK until October / November. He basically showed no interest in talking to us. So we went to a Hymer / Westfalia dealer and they were much more welcoming... so will go with them. Shame I would have liked to see the Twin in person...

    • @vanlossie

We have a Cali Ocean at the moment, so that will see us through this season ;-)

    Great review - this has to be the most thorough walk-thru of this type of van I've seen yet. Question: How is the ventilation on a rainy day with those skylights closed if you want to spend some time in the van perhaps making a tea/coffee and just hanging out?

    • @vanlossie
      @vanlossie  Před 4 lety +1

      We had such a day twice already. Unless it is too cold you leave these open to a certain extend. When you cook (or make tea) you will always open the window, or the sliding door a little bit. But even with everything closed it is still ventilated

    Thank you for your unique perspective. I don't know why so many reviews of this van are almost exact clones of one another. May I ask how tall you are as I can see myself in as many places of the van as you have filmed yourself and make a reference. While the bathroom has caused much interest in this vehicle, I appreciate your honest opinion on just how tight anyone would be showering in it. I agree with you on the amount of windows in the back bed. Did you choose as many or are the side windows optional? How are you doing with your weight limitations. It seems you are loading up quite a bit. How easy is it to get your van weight fully loaded in your area. You should look into that for obvious safety concerns. Looking forward to seeing your new video.
    Best regards

    • @vanlossie
      @vanlossie  Před 5 lety

      Hi Edward, thanks for your comment. I’m 180cm tall. The windows are standard on the van, you can’t choose it. The weight is a concern. So with a full tank of diesel, full tank of water and one adult driver de van was 3100kg. So that leaves 400kg to work with, i never drive with a full tank of water so that adds another 50-70kg. I have not found a way to weigh it yet. I should look into it.

  • @sundialsoft
    @sundialsoft Před 5 lety

    Our 6m Hymercar has a transverse bed so we chose not to have the side windows. We have just one 240 volt socket in the rear, no USB and two 240 volt and two 12 volt sockets in the front. We have not tried the shower yet. You need to see how many days you can last off grid in the summer. We only have 1 leisure battery and no solar so can last two days only. I guess you could last over a week with moderate sun.

      In the UK in this years model they have an oven option though I don’t see the need for it. Garage is about 80cm hight. You can’t fir road bikes in unless you raise the bed. Best is to fit a bike rack on the back. That is why I fitted the tow bar

    Hi Kristof,
    Firstly can I commend you for such a thorough 1st class honest unbiased review of this motorhome. When you invest so much of your own money into a project it would be easy to ignore the less favourable things and emphasise the better things. Well done.
    I am interested in the 600 SPB. Would it be possible to ask a few questions:
    Have you got a copy of your full van specification you gave the dealer? I know you go over most, but a link would be great.
    How tall are you? I am 6ft 2 (1.88m) and am concerned about general head room through out and in the shower in the SPB. Would the transverse bed of the SPB be an issue in your experience?
    Where do you park the motorhome when not in use? I plan on parking on the drive at home, but it may be a tight squeeze!
    How do you find the 6.4m van for general parking when out and about?
    Look forward to hearing from you
    Cheers
    Neil

    • @vanlossie
      @vanlossie  Před 3 lety +1

      Happy to hear you liked it. Can’t give you the exact specs and it won’t be relevant for current model anyway. I’m 1,80m, you will be able to stand in the van, but go check it out before buying. Mine is parked on the driveway. Parking it is ok, yes you sometimes need to search a bit longer for a suitable spot.

    Bonjour,
    Nous avons maintenant notre fourgon Adria, exactement le même que le tien.
    Nous ne sommes que deux et en sommes tout à fait satisfait.
    Les problèmes que tu constates ne sont pas tous insurmontables... Par exemple concernant la prise USB côté dame, j'ai posé une rallonge et ainsi, nous avons chacun une prise.
    Concernant la fermeture des tiroirs de cuisine, nous n'avons pas ce problème, nos tiroirs ferment très bien...
    Concernant la salle d'eau, je trouve le concept particulièrement bien fait et je ne vois pas l'intérêt de se baisser ainsi dans la douche, par contre, en effet il faut se déshabiller à l'extérieur de la salle d'eau.
    Il ne faut pas oublier que c'est un fourgon et que vous êtes quatre avec les enfants, ce n'est pas la meilleure configuration...🤗🙂
    Concernant les stores plissés, il est vrai qu'ils sont assez fragiles et à l'arrière, j'ai le même problème que toi et ne les ferme jamais pour ne pas les abimer...
    Concernant les petites fenêtres latérales, c'est quand même agréable d'avoir une vue sur les côtés lorsque l'on est allongés sur les lits... Et le lanterneau apporte une lumière bien suffisante...
    Nous avons la même motorisation et la même boîte de vitesses automatique, pas de souci concernant la puissance pour le moment... Nous avons aussi des suspensions pneumatiques à l'arrière, ce qui est agréable pour le confort de conduite...
    D'accord aussi avec toi concernant le grand réfrigérateur qui est un véritable avantage...
    Je précise aussi que nous avons deux panneaux solaires de 100w et deux batteries cellule de 92 ah...

    Great review. 😊 I love this car, but I am too tall... 🙄 The new car for 2020 is much more expensive... but Adria improve the car. I don‘t know the englisch word for Rahmenfenster😂 there will be also a second battery and a charging booster.

    Great review! Is it big job to switch pair bed away and back to night position (or do you have video allready about that..)? I wonder that SGX bed is easier to lift up, but I don't like too "hightec" things. And of course it will brake up, when you are tired :)

    • @vanlossie
      @vanlossie  Před 2 lety +1

      The bed in the back. You can put it away but it is not something you would want to do every day when you are on a trip. With the SGX it is a different story, there it is only a push of a button

    Thanks for the great review. Since you are travelling with kids - is there another bed except the big one in the back of the van?

    Great video thanks. We are about to buy the same van. I would like to know 1) if you opted for an additional leisure battery, 2) is the fridge electric only and 3) how lmany days can you go without an electrical hookup.

    • @vanlossie
      @vanlossie  Před 2 lety

      Yes probably, maybe the 6m version. I opted for 2 batteries. Don’t know how long exactly because I never had more than 1 night off grid

  • @IANREA
    @IANREA Před 4 lety

    Where are the leisure batteries stored, would it be a good idea to add a third, and perhaps an inverter that can supply 230v when required off grid.

    • @vanlossie
      @vanlossie  Před 4 lety

      Under the passenger seat. I would prefer to invest in a lithium battery if you want more off grid capacity. 230v... I don’t have anything that needs it. Maybe for a electric bike charger but that’s it.

    Andrew got between 27 and 32 MPG with a manual gearbox 150. I wonder if your Automatic, at 23 MPG is thirstier due to the gear ratios? Nice van anyway!

    • @vanlossie
      @vanlossie  Před 3 lety

      What’s an MPG 😉? These are robotic gearboxes so no vario or whatever. It can even consume less as it shifts more economical.

    Thanks very much for that review. With regards to the problem with the bedroom windows when sleeping, why not carry a piece of 3mm plywood and simply place it in front of the blinds. You could secure it with Velcro.

    • @vanlossie
      @vanlossie  Před 3 lety +1

      Is something I have considered. To be honest the blinds hold up better than expected. Yes they get dented, but you can pop them back

      @williamhurley8407 Před 3 lety

      @@vanlossie Another idea about your nudity shower issue. I will hopefully be buying either your van or the SGX next year. I would put up a temporary curtain from the sower across the passageway. It could be held up with velcro or a couple od discreet hooks, then removed when you are finished. Thank you very much again for your videos I just love them.

    • @vanlossie
      @vanlossie  Před 3 lety +1

      Well the windows are tinted and when it is sunny outside it is impossible to look inside the van with the exception of the fromt window, but for that I quickly pull up the blinds. And for the people inside the van, well , bad luck for them 🤣

      @vanlossie  Před 3 lety +1

      Mixed feelings. One it will take away a lot of light inside making it feel a lot darker. Yes you can have the 2 kids upstairs while you sleep in the back. But, to be honest... I prefer the kids in their tent, I like the privacy 😉

    In another video was mentioned, that the right „down mirror“ is not good to see, due to the fact that the right roller blind is to „high“. Do you agree?

      Parking is actually not bad. The mirrors are 10x more useful than the camera. That said the camera compensate for the last 10% which is excellent 👌

    Hallo, zeer goeie review. Ik sta ook voor de aankoop van een CUV. Ik ben wat in de war met de vermelding dat je een ander rijbewijs zou nodig hebben bij een heavy chassis. De supreme blijkt wél beschikbaar te zijn in een krachtigere uitvoering nl in 140cv en 160cv 35Heavy (zelfs 180 cv 35H). Ik heb begrepen dat een 'B' rijbewijs volstaat voor een 35H chassis aangezien de max. lading ook 'maar' 3500kg kg, echter vermoed ik dat het restgewicht voor de bagage vermindert wanneer men opteert voor een H vs een L chassis. Heb ik het correct? Welk chassis heeft jouw van? Bedankt en nogmaals chapeau voor de reviews!
