*NEW* Adria Alpina Rio Grande 2024 - What a layout!

The Alpina is the top end of luxury from Adria and the Rio Grande does not disappoint. It brings real European styling with this model and a very unusual front kitchen and centre lounge. Whilst popular in Europe this is not something you will see often in the UK. This 8ft wide caravan offers luxury and style with this transverse island bed model.
The lounge offer great sofa space and then this leads to a huge island bed and rear washroom. Priced at around £43,000 it offers a good alternative to its competition and has Alde underfloor heating and numerous other top end features.

Filmed at The Great Holiday Home Show, Harrogate.

Great review of a beautiful van. Absolutely love that layout! 👍👌

Loved this when we saw it at the show. My only niggle was that the sofa seats weren’t deep enough for my liking. Heavy nose weight I suspect though which is interesting considering it’s on the alko chassis and hitch.

Wow ! Karina the kitchen is fabulous .The lay out seems perfect, a bit concerned about the wooden cutting board but the whole space is well designed, love the lounge area, I agree with you re the bed and the window in the bathroom and, ,,,the peculiar placement of the toilet roll holder .

What a fantastic layout!! Love the kitchen and the lounge! Feels really homely, expensive though but that's how it is. Great review Karina, keep it up, this was obviously made when the weather was a little warmer!! I bet it's cold up in Yorkshire!! Take care, hugs xxx

Hi fantastic video as always a couple of things you may have missed is the pullout spice rack next to the fridge and no microwave, we spoke with you at the NEC show and ordered our Alpina Rio Grande but will not get it till May 2024 we have been told that the microwave will be in top cupboard next to the fridge like the Mississippi but we will see what happens and we thought about self-levelling but we thought we would give it a season to make sure we love it and can live with it as it's a big jump up for us size wise regards Wayne

Thanks for another great review; love the kitchen, and the lounge but agree that with the 'poor' access to the washroom that it doesn't really work as a four berth.

I very nearly bought a swift but the amount of time I plan to spend in the sun im worried about white caravans fading, the adria silver seems to hold its age better

The best layout I've seen so far.
9:25 is there any model implementing a wall bed / Murphy bed for the sake of space efficiency during the day? I haven't seen any yet and I think it's a great idea for caravans.

Love the layout, that mattress looks like it does move, I have seen Adrias where the top of the mattress lifts so you can sit up in bed and I wonder whether this one does too. It ought to for that price.

I don't know if you noticed, but the lounge seating is really shallow, so not great from a comfort point of view, especially when relaxing at the end of the day - I felt the seating was more like a Dr's waiting room than a caravan lounge area. The concept is fab, but the seats need to be deeper. Great review as always!

I would miss sitting at the front of the van and watching all the activity outside, and I also think it would be a bit dark in the lounge area, so although it’s a beautiful van, sadly it’s not for me.

Love this van and would have one, but have you tried sitting in the seats? So shallow, felt like i was sat on the edge a shelf. Such a shame!

As a US based Airstream owner, I so wish we could buy these types of caravans/ travel trailers over here. So much better use of all available space, much higher quality bathrooms and sofas in the living room and way better refrigerators . The only thing though is that the A frame chassis is Super long and adds a lot more length to an already long trailer/van. Pity they did not put another big window above the bed (head end ) to add some extra light and view options to the room. Airstreams dont have frosted glass/windows in the bathroom either. Mine has the window which face the rear of the trailer so typically there is no one behind you in most sites. If there is I just lower the aluminum blinds at night (windows are tinted black so you cant see in anyway during the day).

A bit 'old hat' now, I have wind diffuser technology on my 2011 caravan. I pull it with our campervan instead of our car !

I enjoyed your tour but I don't like that Rio Grande layout.

We have a Adria Alpina Mississippi, and much prefer the U-shaped lounge at the front with all the outside light streaming in above us from the front window.

I don't like the kitchen at the front as my wife will have her back to me all the time as we're speaking... Not very sociable.

Also our front window is one full panel with no horizontal division unlike the Rio Grande.

I don't like the left side sofa in the middle as you are hidden from the person in the kitchen by the side of the fridge.

In essence is this worth £13, 000 more than what I paid in December 2020 ? The answer is a resounding ' No' as the differences are merely cosmetic in my opinion.

Glad you did the tour however as it just reinforced what a brilliant van the Alpina is and what a great bargain we got in 2020.

I'm glad you did the tour because did I like the Rio Grande, and the answer is No.

I don't like the kitchen layout as my wife would have her back to me when I'm sitting in the sofa and we're talking... A bit unsociable.

The front window has a horizontal division, unlike our Adria Alpina Mississippi which it has a full pane window with no division, which lets the outside light stream in.

I much prefer the U-shaped lounge in our Mississippi not the two side sofas. They also don't have as much light above as we have in our front lounge.

Furthermore, if you had the lounge table out between both the sofas this prevents easy access to the front and the back of the van. With the Mississippi, the table is at the very front of the Van.

In summary, is this Van worth £13, 500 more than what we paid for our Mississippi at the end of 2020 ? The answer is a resounding No, as the differences are in my opinion minimal and cosmetic. I know a lot of the price increase however is due to the massive demand for caravans during Covid.

Great you did the tour though as it reinforced what a great value for money Van we have with our Alpina Mississippi.

Also, Adrias are fantastic vans in my opinion.

Keep up the good work 👍
