Sprite Grande Quattro DB • Maximum-width, beds for six, the towing bonus of twin-axle stability, two seating areas, plus a table for junior caravanners at the rear

Adria • We take a detailed look at four of Adria’s ranges; with sleek and compact to spacious and luxurious, there is something for everyone

ALTEA • The three Altea models are named after British rivers. There’s a twin-bed model, a rear island bed model and a family model with berths for six

ADORA • One with a transverse island bed, one with a rear island bed, one with twin beds and one superb family model – all with spacious U-shaped lounges; it’s easy to see why the Adora range is very popular. Interestingly, Adora was at the vanguard of the eight-foot-width revolution, introducing the Isonzo (2.46m wide) in 2014, and then the Tiber, of the same width, before British manufacturers got into the ‘grande’ idea in volume

ALPINA • Alpina is Adria’s flagship range. Until recently, this was a range of two caravans, one with twin beds and the other with an island bed. Then came along the magnificent Rio Grande, with its kitchen at the front and its lounge in the centre of the layout. Alpinas take the names of some of the world’s longest rivers
