Itineo FB 690

Specs: Length 6.5m, Width 2.3m. Fiat LWB Camper Chassis, X250 2.3 - 130 Engine.

This really is just a 2 person motorhome - the main bed being the pull-down overcab bed. Another full size bed can be made up in the front lounge area but would only be for occasional or emergency use. However this does leave the inside feeling very spacious. The separate shower works well.

The lighting is extremely attractive but all units were fitted with halogen spots in one form or another (24 bulbs in total). I have changed all these to LED units. Not the fittings just the bulbs.
I have also fitted two rear speakers (from Lidl). This made a huge difference to the sound quality, and I fitted a second Leisure Battery in the extra bay provided together with a 500W inverter. A TV of course would be standard issue and in this case I fitted a Meos 15" TV/DVD unit. This was mounted on the pull-out and swivel bracket that is housed above the Thetford 160 Liter 3 way automatic Fridge/Freezer.
I have fitted a standard Microwave Cooker in the bay immediately above the fridge unit.

Factory Options fitted: Reversing Camera, Central Locking/Alarm, Electric Rear View Mirrors, Awning, Manual Step, Bike Rack, Silver Screens, Some internal items such as carpeting, 3/4 length mirror and entrance handrail.

In the two years and nearly 18,000 KMs that I have had the 'van absolutely nothing has gone wrong. Would I buy the exact same 'van again ? - very definitely yes.

Looks a nice van. I had a look at them 2 years ago and found it hard to decide between in and an Adria Vision. At the end of the day the Adria Vision won on a number of scores for us.

There's no doubt they are a good van but its personal choice at the end of the day. Maybe it would be better to say that it was the wife's choice at the end of the day.

We too love out Adria and feel its the best van we have ever had. I hope you continue t
I enjoy yours and that is what it's all about. :up:

Spot on Jack. It's layout, layout, layout.

There are only the two of us left now and we were looking for the minimum amount of space devoted to sleeping. We walked into this van in a show in Paris and that was that. It had to be done, we were both of the same mind (thank God).

Enjoy many good holidays and breaks in your dream Adria Vision.

Dave

Very nice van Dave.

We were quite impressed with Itineo vans when we saw them in France.

We also liked the Adria Vision until we saw the new Adria Sonic this year which would suit us even better.

There will no new vans for a while as both daughters have just been accepted to different universities. :fgrin:

Who wouldn't be impressed with the the Adria Sonic Mark; a stunning van. You won't need to think about new vans for a while anyway. Sit back and enjoy.
