Hi all.Ive had the 590SG over a month and put down a good few miles before Autumn and winter when I use my motorhome the most doing my photography. I picked the Adria after reading many reviews and inspecting it with a fine tooth comb having been in a large car factory working on fixing stuff on new cars. Well where to start.
Firstly the good. Exterior is excellent, all the Fiat stuff works as it should, the interior fit and finish is great, no rattles, nothings fell of. But...……………………..
Firstly a bit of trim fell of in the bathroom. Its a nothing easily fixed in a minute. Then the passenger seat belt broke as it wont retract. Ive stripped a good few before and no doubt its the little ball bearing inside that's stuck. Never known that happen before. Then the water tank dump valve broke. Its a clever idea, three settings full empty and 20 litres which I can see is a great idea, if it worked. Its bust and either holds nothing or 20 litres and still leaks. And the last one, yesterday out and about the fridge door swings open when driving. Milk and stuf in the door. It transpires the catch that locks the door shut so it doesn't open when driving is broken.
So, the "high quality" is proving to be less than high. And ive had it a month. Im not to angry as its under warranty and its going back in a few weeks. Better get stuff out the way now I guess. Shame as I know this would never happen with a similar price car. Love the motorhome but im trying to not get to pi££ed at the missus for making me sell my lovely Elddis 120 that was working %100 fine.
The joys of owning a motorhome. And to cap it all, went to a pub on the POI near Middleton in Teesdale to find it refuses motorhome stopovers. A great day!
