NEW Adria Astella! Tiny House, Cabin, or Caravan?
ฝัง

- At Caravan Salon Düsseldorf 2020 there was only ONE product that EVERYONE was talking about, and that was the new Adria Astella.
It was so popular I couldn't get near it, but the kind folks at Adria took pity on me and gave me five minutes to have a quick look at this stunning...er... cabin? Caravan? Tiny House?
With an MTPLM of 3000kg, it can be towed by a regular car in some countries, but in the UK its body length of 7.6m means it would need to be towed by suitable commercial vehicle.
There is talk of the Astella coming to the UK but this is not yet confirmed. We live in hope!
So what do you reckon? Is it a caravan, is it a cabin, is it a tiny house? Either way, it would make for phenomenal Air BnB accommodation.

What is it? A caravan? A tiny house? A cabin? Either way, it's pretty lush! Let me know what you think...
I vote all three
it's a caravan albeit a large one
Are u in France?
It's amazing, whatever it is!
@@pinkglovegarage No. Düsseldorf is in Germany...
So nice, what a luxury caravan to indulge in.
Not a touring caravan really - but a beautiful studio to stay in if you have a pitch to put it on. Wonderful! I'd move in tomorrow. A lovely writing cabin just for me and my dog :)
Sounds great!
Finally a decent interior design concept for a trailer. No more 90s cabinetry. Would love to see the toy hauler version of this.
I’ve decide to tow with a van and remove the need for toy hauler compromise
That is AMAZING! Finally, a worthy bathroom!
I would call it a tiny home, but that's because I would live in it.
I'm going to call it a land yacht. The design is very reminiscent of modern sailboats, like Jeanneau or Bavaria. Clean, sleek, and efficient.
Hello Andrew .
I watch all your videos.
Thank you very much for showing us this Alpina model.
A hug from Barcelona.
Thank you .
Andrew , this is a wonderful carava, great features,,and the bed in back, can be there all day, what a concept for a Caravan, Cheerio, From NJ, USA.
So modern and if future touring caravans are going to be like this then I’m looking forward to it.
Wowwwwwwwww , that is some caravan , I am totally in awe , absolutely amazing , now if I were a rich woman that would be top of my list !!
Well what ever it is it is gorgeous, definitely seasonal love the patio doors. I could live in it .👍👍👍
So lovely. Nice whit glamping... nice to see that more modern interior
The interior of this is amazing. I dont know what I feel about the outside just yet... But the insides.. Woah!
To me the Astella is THE highlight of Caravan Salon👍❤️
Nice one Andrew, you are in the know! thanks for the private tour it is lovely, though cleaning all those mirrors would be time consuming but a nice time on rainy days, love the reclining lounge, and I could easily slide into this luxury living cheers from Australia.
I want one!, Beautiful! Finally....Great Style!
i like your commentary, it's sort of minimal and no nonsense rah rah. good work. i feel calm like i'm actually there
Although I already saw it in another video, it is nice to see your version as well :-) Thank you Dougal an Fudge for the little extra ;-)
Move over airstream .......Hello Astella ! Love it
This is good. Love this. It is a new concept to caravan.
I can't believe it for the price. Amazing
Thanks for the tour. Very sleek. Love it. Tiny Home or Cabin.
Luxury caravan. Beautiful! Very homey. And yes, I could definitely live out of it and force me to SUPER downsize & free myself from STUFF...😣
Home from home. .it might be heavy, it might be long, it is expensive but it's always nice to dream! Only 1 thing missing though doggy bowl !
Looks like Adria have taken the idea from Bailey when they dabbled with the Retreat range, and made it so much better. The Retreat was launched in 2012 and was marketed as a seasonal pitch caravan modelled on a static
Awesome model!
Good job!! Astella i love it!!
It is a tiny loft on wheels! It is the most beautiful caravan I ever saw. I’m normally not interested in caravans but this one is amazing 😲
I go specially to Dordrecht Open to see this beauty. And of course the other great stuff of Adria.
By the way........again a nice presentation Andrew! 👌👍
Thanks Wim!
Thank you for taking us around it has been so popular out here I have even struggled to get close. 😊👍👍
Love it pal. Great way forward for Caravan planning. Thanks for this simple informative walk around as usual. Brilliant👍😎
Thanks Rob!
Interesting to see a new take on a caravan door too, bring the outdoors in. (A bit like caravan meets panel van motorhome conversion?)
It’s beautiful!❤️❤️I could totally live in it!
Think your probably right, seasonal pitch. Definitely an aspirational one. Might but dream.
Ah, the good old "if you have to ask what it costs, you can't afford it" category. :) Very swish. I'm not a caravan guy but I can change my mind. Except of course for not being able to afford it. And of course the size and space means it's more transportable than fully mobile. But really, the interior of that is basically what you dream about isn't it? Very high end, spacious, absolutely perfect for a solo dweller or a couple. None of that "family of four nasty compromise" nonsense here.
This is so stunning...
That’s it. I’m moving to Europe. It’s gooooorrrrgeous
The future of caravanning! I’m not sure 🤔. The outside looks amazing but I was a little underwhelmed with the interior. Great review Mr Ditton. Thank you for sharing.
Bring some to North America with an option of a quiet A/C.They will sell like hot pancakes.
Wow...all I need now are my lotto numbers and a fab pitch, I would live it . great review👏💕
Typo..live in it.
A terrific looking leisure vehicle. Very plush and practical. The uk manufacturers playing catch up as usual. Superb practical features and luxuries. Exemplary.
I think it is great for someone who has vacation property and wants a seasonal home to use while they can take their time and build the permanent structure they wish. When the permanent structure is built, this can serve as a guest house, pool house, and / or destination trailer. It is large for European standards but the smaller unit is quite manageable.
It's lovely. Here in the USA we call them park models. Usually left on site at a campground.
Spectacular
Been looking forward to seeing this version. Thank you. Tried to find a 2016 model a couple of years back but this is unrecognisable to the former Astella. Totally agree this is more for seasonal pitches or permanent living. Let's hope we get a peak at the NEC next month (doggies on tour)
Yes I could live in it too ...Hi Dougy x
Long time no see Andrew. I am pleased to see you again. How is Dougal doing? I hope he is fine. I see the new Adria Estella, what a nice caravan! It's top notch. I wish I could live in one like it and travel around Europe! Actually, I lived in a caravan in Kingfisher Caravan Park (Gosport, Hampshire) at Browndown road. It was such an amazing time!
I like it, Andrew. Mind you, I like Adria designs overall. I can see this being popular in the UK and fuelling the AirBnB market and attracting seasonal pitch devotees. I could live in one too! 😀
Definitely luxurious
It's bloody fantastic is what it is!
Yes a lovely well made ? mobile or static caravan
I think that as you have already suggested it may be a little to big for the uk roads but may well appeal to some.
Bob Rogers Saturday night special
What a beautiful van 👍😁
Hey Andrew,
Nice Video and great Caravan. For me, the 3000kg is a Nummer, so more a tiny House.
But window and Door concept should good ideas for traveling Caravans also.
BR Stefan 🤗
Lovely- only negative is all that space wasted behind the sofa with the plants in...there must be about 2 extra feet there!
I think that's where the bed base lives. I only had 5 minutes unfortunately.
It seems that there is front storage here. A panel outside can be lifted to access the propane tanks and two side compartments.
I love the layout, especially the double doors. Shame its so heavy. I would like those doors combined into a "normal" fixed double bed caravan.
Stunning I would definitely love one of those for my seasonal pitch home from home
Very nice indeed.
Love it, but miss maybe a slide out or a roof sleeping room or maybe a roof terrasse, or maybe a back end terrasse. Anyway, love it, but what is the price?
It’s lovely. It doesn’t look like it’s aerodynamic so I would use it as a cabin.
Liked it a lot, but didn’t get the planter behind the sofa.
I am going to say caravan, it’s really fresh. Hope to see it at the nec 🎩👌😉🇬🇧
Double Hello?? What a treat!
Absolutely LOVE IT! Go Adria 👌🏻
Well! I'm really lovin that.😲👌
Only 5 minutes, very generous of Adria. Surely they don't have so many 'influencers' queueing up to look at it that they can't give you half an hour ho have a real good look. I'm a camper van chap so not directly interested in this but it looks nicely done.
If Adria made a conventional caravan based on this exterior and interior look, style and layout - I would be one of the first to buy it.
You never know Simon...
Hi Andrew looks lovely but lounge doesn't look comfy was it
As always good video
beautiful, reminds me of the cravan for me ma, hahaaaaa.....
and shes terrible partial to the periwinkle blue hahaaaaaa
And the Oscar goes to: ANDREW DITTON. What a nice presentation! Gratulation my friend. W O W!
Thank you my friend :)
It’s a dream absolutely wonderful 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🇫🇷
Its perfect solution for my garden to keep it there and use it all studio flat all year. Just wonder what is it like dragging this little house on the wheel behind car and what car I need to be able to make it.
Wow, it’s amazing. Call it what you like, I like it 👍🏼 thanks for showing us around
Love the mirror hellows. And sometimes even apologising for the stupidity of it 😁
why would they still do the fold-out sink in a Lux Cabin? why can't we have a decent washroom?
Thanks for showing this, but what can tow it into position? Even if used as a seasonal pitch. Even a Discovery can’t tow it. Good job though.
Ross D we would tow that with our large truck. Want one so badly, it is so much more beautiful than anything we can get here in the US. Jealous!
Saw one on the road yesterday being towed by a tsler big combo
Wow. That must have been a sight!
I love it but where can you pitch these things?
Oh I love it. It is a caravan companies response to a tiny home. It would be great for young people who can't afford a house but could perhaps live in this cheaply till they can afford a house or land. It looks very comfortable.
It’s a dream. Bring it to the south west USA.
Adria the best!:)
Verrry nice...how much?
'Its not fore everybody' Its going to appeal to a lot more ppl than any caravan Ive ever seen!
3:21 That Mr Bean moment when he says hello to the mirrow LMAO
Beautiful styling but I was a little disappointed with the interior I was expecting it to be more spacious. Lovely engineered, I’m a Swift owner but I love the Adria finish and detail. Think I’d miss towing though.
Awesome 👏
Great idea and Adria's in house modernist design approach is perfect for this . A little unadventurous on layout and use of space though . They could have been a bit more creative with this. love the concept though
Very modern caravan. I'd live in that all day but I guess the prices would be insane! You'd also need to be able to virtually drive a lorry to be able to tow it?
Saw 2 of these at the introduction in the Netherlands. They have all kinds of layouts I guess because the one we went into had the kitchen in the back. Though they were 60k and 70k so expensive! Wasn't busy at all, but I guess it was because it was outside and raining :p
Thanks for the peek Andrew. A beast of a box. Not a fan of this one. To each there own.
Amazing caravan but what would tow it?
Most big vans, most big 4x4's and if in doubt a 750kg truck
You need a vehicle over 3500kg and a commercial or HGV licence because of its length being over 7m
Looks swish but reservations on the practicality of using/living in it... Dining? Visitors on a cool day? Aerodynamics? Tow handling? Shiny surfaces and fingerprints (lol)! Would love you to have this for a few weeks and report back!
I'd love to have one for a few weeks too!
An interesting concept...1/2 tiny house, 1/2 caravan. I like how the finishes echo a residential home more than an RV we would see here. Andrew..where would you be allowed to legally park this other than a seasonal pitch? Here they have a “Z” code meaning they are only allowed in trailer parks. I did have a delightful modern park model that was four season but could only be in an RV park. Required wide load towing. So many building restrictions here 😖 Were Dougal’s feelings hurt when you said “I could live in one of these...” 😢
This is so cute!
Does Adria ship to Canada?
I admit I didn’t look through all the comments for an answer (because that’s a lot of comments) but are there other shades or something for the slider, for privacy? Those drapes are cool looking, but they’re like lace at night.
Very interesting!
What about the outside, connections, power, water etc.
I want one!
Where was the wardrobe space, coat cupboard?
As a seasoned caravaneer would you choose the Adria or Airstream as your luxury Air bnb?? I love what Hoffman architecture have done with living vehicle but the new cost of $200k USD and the weight eek.
Hmm... that's a toughie. Airstream in the US and Adria in Europe I'd say.
But where is the dining table? There is only a lounge set. Would like to see how this works in a vid
