We towed ours with a galaxy 2.3 petrol. No probs. Lovely van too. Only sold it cos had to downsize the car. No problems with the layout or quality of stuff in the van too. regret it going but had no choice.
It sounds like a good match. If you're nervous about towing it'd be worth booking yourself onto one of the club courses.
We looked at a 2003 Abbey Aventura 330 & it was a nice van although we ended up buying a 2007 Compass Magnum 556 as we preferred the lighter interior colours.
The layout is a good one for families - we have our 6yr old on top bunk then DS (15) on bottom. When his friend comes with us we'll use the dinette single too. What we also like is the fact that on nights where we can't be bothered making beds up the front benches are long enough to use as singles.
The only thing I would say about the layout is to avoid the temptation to pile loads of heavy stuff in the massive storage area at the back when the bunk is lifted up. This would lift the front of the van & could make it unstable to tow. Anything heavy needs to be over the axle. Also, be careful not to overload & remember to check your nose weight.
Hi we are also looking at the Abbey Adventura. We are complete caravan novices only having had a small campervan.
We particularly like the idea of the garage. But does this work in reality? Can you get a couple of adult MTBs in there and will the nose weight be ok?
Are the GRP sidewalls any better or worst than aluminium?
Also could anyone supply the length of the top bunk and the dinette bed when made up.
