It comes from an outside water proof plug point with a trip switch and runs down the drive, I will get some of those things off Amazon and try and run it down the side of the drive instead,or I can get an armoured cable put into our shed so it doesn't go across the drive at all as a permanant...

Hi, we brought our new Adria home yesterday, it is a 2009 542DT, we are very excited about finally having a van big enough to accommodate us all, with three dogs! It really is so spacious in comparison to our Abbey, and the perfect weight for our car. Very excited for some new adventures in it...

Well, I did as advised and turned everything off last night and have tried it again this morning, fingers crossed after about 30 minutes of running it seems fine. We did have torrential rain last night and I am wondering if it was our hookup causing the consumer unit to trip off. I am going to...

Thanks, will do. We will check it again in the morning, we have a one year warranty so if there is a fault at least we can get the dealer to sort it out. Many Thanks

I’ve given them our heavy duty sleeping bags - it’s August after all!

Thanks, it is tripping off at the consumer unit? I set it at 2000 and 9, full blast as it was chilly out there tonight just to warm the van up for them. Every time I left it for 15 minutes the switches were flicked back up on the main unit like they had tripped out?

Hi, we have bought a fabulous Adria 2009 542 DT in excellent condition and collected it yesterday from a very reputable dealer, we have put the heating on tonight to accommodate my son and daughter in law for one night on a 240 hook up on our drive and after 15 minutes it trips out. It is a...

Thanks, so my plan to leave overnight not advisable?

I was so grateful to everyone who helped with our weight issues, and now we have lots of Caravans lined up to see next weekend. I am very taken by Adria, light weight and simplistic really appeals to me, but we are looking at a range including Bailey and Swift next weekend. Anyway, in the mean...

Yes, he is being sent to do it Ha ha! I may just do some training without the test as a refresher, in case I have to tow in an emergency.

Well, our world just got a little bit less restricted. Found the V5 for the Audi and I notice that the 'Mass in Service' weight is 1846 kg, which I am lead to believe is the European expression of kerbweight (being a German car) the EU guidelines apparantly include 75kg for the driver, which if...

That's fantastic, so as a pre 1997 driver with that entitlement I could 'supervise' him, that'll give him a laugh! I think we could manage up to a 1300kg max van, which would give us so much more choice, it is over the 85%, but still well under the 100% of the kerb weight which 1450kg...

Really helpful, love your dogs by the way. :)

Thanks so much for your reply, I have a pre 97 license, but won't tow, and my partner will do his test. It's the weight the car can tow which is more of a worry.

Hello everyone,thanks for adding me, wonder if anyone here can help us? We are so confused. We currently have an ancient (1991) old Abbey that we use as a spare bedroom and just tow to festivals, she is housed in our lockup the rest of the time. I have spent a lot of money on keeping her...
