Winter doesn’t mean the adventures have to stop.
Winter. It’s the perfect time to indulge in snow sports, browse the Christmas Markets, or simply escape the grey every day in your warm and cosy cocoon. What makes the perfect winter tourer? Andrew Ditton offers advice on what to look for, which options to select, and discovers why the Scandinavians simply love Adria.
From the Ground Up
Nobody enjoys being cold. All Adria vehicles are designed with optimum with heating solutions to ensure a warm and toasty interior. Seek to enhance your heating system with underfloor heating, fitted as standard in some ranges, and available as an option in many others.
Protection from the Elements
You’ve created the heat, now keep it inside. Adria’s ‘Thermo-Build’ protocol combines top quality insulation with optimum air flow management. This ensures a consistently comfortable interior with no cold spots, no condensation, and limited heat loss. Each vehicle is tested in a cold chamber right down to 40 degrees below zero. Brr!
Keeping it Warm
Alde or Truma heating? Most Adria vehicles offer these heating systems. Both have their advantages, and both may be powered by LPG and/or electricity. Diesel heating is also an option on selected Twin campervan models. Either way, if you plan to take winter trips, ensure you choose the solution that best suits your lifestyle.
Alde. Considered the superior option, Alde central heating was developed in Sweden - and the Swedes know a thing or two about keeping warm in harsh winters. A system of radiators gently, silently, yet effectively heat the entire vehicle without drying out the atmosphere. Alde offers full underfloor heating integration.
Truma. Fast warm-up times and ease of control are advantages of the Truma blown-air system. Simply adjust the air outlets to direct the heat exactly where you want it, and create different zones in your vehicle if you so wish. In selected Adria models you can also add the option of electric underfloor heating.
