I know what you mean about the "train" seat layout Tribute_650, I too wonder if the Adria would really work for us as lounging would form a large part of our useage
Kev
If sitting around the van lounging is a major factor, then I'd probably say the Twin is not for you. It's not the best for lounging around... unless you prefer lounging around on the bed. We generally use our van to get places and then do days out on cycles or foot so dont tend to lounge too much.
Dont understand why people turn up on site in their van, unpack the satellite and then sit inside watching TV all weekend.

surely that relaxing can be done on the sofa at home with a decent sized TV; or save yourself fuel/site costs and environmental impact and sit on the driveway in the van.

I'm with you on this one b6x.
We're staggered at the number of people who spend their pitched up evenings on beautiful sites in beautiful weather stuck in front of a TV. As we return from a local pub or restaurant or walking the dogs we go past van after van with a flickering screen inside and the outline of immobile heads and shoulders.
We value not having a TV in the van.

I hate having to try and watch TV on a night in me van while all them drunkards are staggering back from the pub making all that noise with yapping dogs peeing on me alloys and worse..... or am I now being too stereotypical
The name of the game is choice, If you can not crash out and watch TV then you have no choice, I can choose to go to the pub or just sit and enjoy me MH.

Hi Kev,
Is that a discounted price for the Tempo, I can't seem to find any prices on the net, Autocruises website seems bereft of that sort of minor detail?
If the price is bona that's an awful lot of PVC for £32K, my bus is only 16ft long and was knocking on for £37K, admittedly with leather and a few extra bells, but also a few less whistles (eg no shower, but with a loo, no oven, no carpet).

Well, we have just today been offered the Tempo with AC and Alloys, plus Cruise Control, for £32k all in, it is about £3500 off apparently.
Just posted a message asking about swivel seats, but it looks like we will put a deposit down in the morning.

On the subject of colour, the (non-metallic) blue in question looks identical to that on the Duccato which white van man chooses to look a bit different. I thought it naff in the pictures, but better in the flesh.
Any comments anyone?
Cheers.

Shaun,
I was at Global today and saw one of the blue twins: I expected it to be a rather drab blue but I thought it was rather stunning: *much* brighter than I expected.

I'm pleased you liked it, Harvey. But, will those stuffy old sods at caravan sites who expect perfect lines of white - or maybe a conservative silver metallic - assume that the man who's just turned up in the garish blue van, is obviously lost and is looking for the local building site?
Did you glean any further information of interest at Global? I see they've put the blue van back up on eBay, after the first run achieved no buyers or offers.

Coloured vans (esp. Magnum Grey metallic) are good but maybe I'm slightly biased.
When we were seriously considering the Twin I was going for the burgundy one so I could use the 'Vin Rouge' tag.
