Is night owls, the alternative to the early morning posters. I am usually around until the clock has passed the midnight hour, quite often still online at 2am.It must be to do with working the night shift for so many years.
it gives me a chance to peruse the many posts and topics that have been written during the daytime.
The things that I have learnt or giggled at are quite broad in the range of subjects.
peoples views seem to vary according to the time of day as well, now that should surprise you.
I also find it easier to get on with the work I am supposed to have completed during daylight.
spent the last hour wondering why Hobby no longer do the layout that I wanted.I am told that 2012 models have been reduced in the range of layouts.
Not sure about the Pilotes I have looked at. the finish seems to be poor, such as cupboard catches, doors not lining up.But this seems to be the norm these days.
anyone else out there fancies having a moan.or guiding me towards a quality vehicle under 3.5t that does not cost over £70k.apart of course another Fleurette. Laughing Laughing

Morning Cabby! Nearly time for your bed! Wink

Isn't it strange how the manufacturers decide to stop making the most successful layouts?! Take Our Adria Coral 650SP for example... In 2007, our 650SP was the only model in the Coral range to offer a DOUBLE side seat behind the driver. So we could accommodate 3 couples on social occasions AND we could create another DOUBLE bed using that side seat.

Adria now produce nothing like it. SINGLE side seat, converting to a SINGLE bed, accommodating only 5 folk, maybe 2 couples and an odd one out. Strange! Rolling Eyes

There you go, another post for your first Night Owls thread.

Good night! Wink Smile

Having been woken by searing lightning and crashing thunder (why else would I be sitting here at 4.00am?) I have been reading through the forum, especially a couple of discussions about the relative merits of various makers. It has struck me before that the constructor we chose seldom seems to be mentioned here, yet as novices we spent quite a long time looking and comparing before settling on Adria. UK makes were eliminated partly because of the upholstery styles but other styling factors did play a part. Turning to the mainland European, Burstner and Chausson were the main contenders. The Adria build quality we thought to be far superior to Chausson and certainly comparable to Burstner. It was fairly close between these but in the end Adria won on layout and the elusive "feelgood".
Almost six months on from delivery and 4,000 miles in UK and France completed, much whilst A-frame towing, there is no reason to doubt that we made the right choice. Initial small problems were ironed out very smoothly (by Chelston) and subsequent issues have turned out to be down to ignorance of operation (m'home novices both!) rather than any faults with the van.
So - what is the reason for no-one seeming to be consider this make? Have we discovered a wondrous secret or is there something we missed?

I would certainly recommend anyone considering a purchase in the middle range sector to look at Adria alongside the other more prominent names.

We are certainly happy with our adria and the level of comfort

The seats are really comfortable, simply to swivel and adjust and the standard of finish good
Choose ours on the layout as we didn't want a transverse bed but did want a garage

All in all pleased with the choice

And after having had a Hymer as well - or do you have two? Wink

(your profile shows your van as a Hymer Smile )

Good to know there is at least one other satisified customer out there.

At the moment we have 2 Embarassed Embarassed

Keep meaning to advertise the hymer but as we were away July/Aug and want to go again in Sept/Oct we dont seem to be around much to sell it Laughing Laughing

Cant alter profile but it does show the coral if you click on Aldra Very Happy

We needed more seat belts for our sons/sons-in -law to borrow it otherwise the Hymer was/is great

We did consider another Hymer but in the end our coral SL supreme ticked all the boxes and the money saved was spent on extras Laughing Laughing

Although new it was the 2010 model( fixed twin beds over garage,the 2011 has a rear lounge and no garage so didn't fit our requirements)
we got a good price without exchange . As a show model it came with lots of extras already fitted,leather seats,cab aircon,airbags cruise control etc
so we were very satisfied

Since I lost much of last night's sleep and my watch now says it's 1.15, can I pretend that is a.m.? Laughing Laughing

Or do I have to wait until next time I find myself here hours after bedtime
