Averso Plus - a trailer for a large family
The Averso Plus caravan is Burstner's proposal for a family larger than two adults and two children. Although the vehicle has quite standard dimensions, it can sleep six or even seven people. The downside is the modest standard equipment.
A bed on rails
Averso Plus is available in four variants, the shortest of which measures 656 cm , and the other 728, 740 and 751 cm. The width of each trailer is 230 cm, and the height is 274 cm. A person measuring less than 212 cm can fit in the threshold without bending the head.
Interestingly, the most sleeping places can be found not in the longest model. In the 740-centimeter version of the 510 TK there is a bunk bed (one place downstairs, the other upstairs), a single sleeping place transformed from a dining corner, a double bed created into a seating area, and additionally above it - a double drop-down bed .
And it is this last element that is the most important distinguishing feature of the Averso Plus series. A large bed measuring 194 x 144 cm , which is equipped with a five-zone foam mattress , can be lowered electrically by pressing a button. Then we will see how smoothly (though apparently a bit too loudly) it moves along special rails from the ceiling down to hang 70 centimeters lower .
A ladder can be attached to the bed, which will make it easier for children to climb up comfortably. Anyway, for children, this bed can be a very good solution. An adult who would like to read a book in a sitting position in such an "attic" may be too cramped. Another problem may be that when the bed is lowered, it is impossible to use the seating area under it. It's a pity - the more that the corner itself is very comfortable, which is largely due to the extended table .
The longest model, 520 TL, is also interesting - here, at the back of the caravan, there are two single beds , but the space between them can be filled by combining them into one large sleeping place. Theoretically, the caravan was designed for a maximum of six people, but with seven people on board, a small child would certainly fit on the bed together with its parents.
Shower and thermal bath for an extra charge
There are capacious lockers under the "ground" beds. Some of them were partially filled with devices and installation wires (unfortunately, they were not additionally covered). In the caravan you will find a fairly spacious wardrobe for jackets , a convenient storage for shoes (right behind the doorstep), and outside a storage for two gas cylinders. It is large enough to store tools and other small items.
Of course, there is also a bathroom - unfortunately, although we will find a paddling pool in it, we will not see a shower as a standard . Why? Well, there is no water heater in the basic equipment. A 22 liter waste water tank is also an option. In the standard, however, we find ... a TV bracket . Yes, comfortable, with a large range of adjustments, but if we do not plan a TV set, it will only spoil the interior.
The basic price also includes a 40-liter fresh water tank , a 142-liter fridge with a freezer compartment, an S 3004 gas heater (5004 for an extra charge), and a 300 VA converter. The list of paid add-ons includes, among others: hood, oven and microwave.
The Averso Plus 520 TL weighs 1,600 kg and its gross vehicle weight is 1,800 kg. The trailer is covered by a 5-year warranty covering protection against moisture - admittedly, some competitors provide longer protection. Prices for the Averso Plus with standard equipment range from €19,680 to €20,990 (in Germany).
Is it a lot or little? Unfortunately, the overall good impression is slightly spoiled by the fact that the manufacturer treats elements such as a water heater as a luxury that requires an additional payment. This is especially puzzling in the case of a caravan that is supposed to travel together even 6-7 people.
