What makes the Adria Compact Max DL a distinct choice for touring?
The Adria Compact Max DL is a slim-line coachbuilt motorhome built on the Volkswagen Crafter chassis, designed to bridge the gap between a campervan and a full-sized motorhome. At 6.89m long and 2.12m wide, it prioritises agility on B-roads while maintaining a premium interior featuring a face-to-face lounge and twin rear beds. With a 3500kg MTPLM and a 480kg payload, it offers a refined base for couples or small families seeking high-end build quality and modern 'Sandy White' aesthetics.
- Volkswagen Crafter chassis providing high-performance driving dynamics and safety features.
- Slim-line coachbuilt exterior measuring 2.12m in width for easier navigation of narrow roads.
- Rear twin longitudinal beds that can convert into a large double sleeping area.
- Face-to-face lounge layout with a folding table and panoramic sun roof.
- Adria Comprex body construction designed with increased insulation for all-season use.
Worth knowing: The narrow body design results in reduced upper locker storage compared to standard-width coachbuilt models. Berth capacity is limited to 2 or 3 occupants depending on the specific configuration chosen.
Buying an Adria Compact Max DL: What you need to know
Who it suits
- Couples seeking a long-range touring vehicle with the driving dynamics of a Volkswagen base.
- Adventurers who frequently navigate tight country lanes or historic villages where a 2.12m width is advantageous.
Reasons to consider it
- The 480kg payload provides significant capacity for luggage and equipment within a 3500kg limit.
- Truma Combi heating and Comprex construction support comfortable use throughout all seasons.
- The contemporary interior design with a panoramic window creates a bright, open-plan social atmosphere.
What to check
- Confirm the exact berth configuration as this model supports between 2 and 3 berths.
- Verify the operation of the swivel-wall bathroom to ensure it meets your space requirements.
- Inspect the garage area to ensure it accommodates your specific outdoor gear or bicycles.
Worth knowing: The premium pricing, ranging from 85000 to 98000, reflects the high-end VW chassis and Adria craftsmanship. Storage for larger items is concentrated in the rear garage, as interior locker space is constrained by the 2.12m width.

The Adria Compact Max DL occupies a specific niche, combining the mechanical refinement of the Volkswagen Crafter with a slim-fit coachbuilt body. While alternatives like the Auto-Sleepers Kemerton XL or Adria's own Compact Supreme DL offer similar 3500kg MTPLM specifications, the Max DL distinguishes itself through its 2.12m width and specific face-to-face lounge layout. Buyers must weigh the premium price and narrower storage lockers against the superior driving dynamics and agile exterior dimensions.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and maintenance tips for the Compact Max DL
- Utilise the 480kg payload efficiently by storing heavier items in the dedicated garage area.
- Make use of the swivel-wall bathroom feature to maximise floor space when the shower is not in use.
- Regularly inspect the seals on the panoramic sun roof to maintain the bright interior environment.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the upper lockers, which are smaller than standard due to the slim-line 2.12m exterior width.
- Assuming a 4-berth capacity when the model is strictly limited to a maximum of 3 berths.
Worth knowing: Always verify the total weight when fully loaded to remain within the 3500kg MTPLM.
