Three cars - one Matrix

Three cars - one Matrix – main image

Adria - a manufacturer of caravans and motorhomes from Slovenia, currently offers as many as 23 models of tourist vehicles. The icing on the cake are the fully integrated Sonic models, but just below them, like a crème de la crème, the manufacturer has placed the semi-integrated Matrix models. All the others are lower in this hierarchy.

All Matrix series motorhomes are low-roof models - i.e. they do not have an alcove, but have a pull-down bed in the front part of the cabin. The distinguishing features of this model are also a large dining room and an L-shaped kitchen (although the manufacturer insists on marking this shape with the letter V). Also noteworthy is the relatively large bathroom space and - apparently - comfortable beds.

In the 2017 season, a new interior design appeared, as well as the graphics on the bodywork. However, it is also worth noting more significant changes - the Matrix can be built on three different vehicles. Matrix Supreme is Renault Master, Matrix Plus - Fiat Ducato, and Matrix Axess is based on the Citroen Jumper . The engines of all offered vehicles meet the Euro 6 emission standard.

Italian and French to choose from

Supreme is the highest specification of the Matrix. Motorhomes based on Renault Master are also the longest - they come in three variants with lengths from 7,672 to 7,790 mm . They are also distinguished by adjustable beds at the rear, an electrically lowering bed at the front, and combined panoramic and roof windows. These cars can be approved for 4 or 5 people (while driving), while there can be up to 7 sleeping places . The Alde brand is responsible for heating in this motorhome.

The Matrix Plus comes in six variants, ranging in length from 6993 to 7480 mm . Motorhomes in this series are distinguished by Truma heating as standard and great attention to the aesthetics of the interior. Though Plus is a bit shorter than the Supreme, it's just as spacious inside. In five layouts, the bathroom was separated from the shower cubicle , and in one, the integrated bathroom was placed at the rear of the vehicle (behind the beds). Interestingly, in each variant, it was possible to separate the bedroom and bathroom from the dining area.

Matrix Access is a high-end motorhome, but at a lower price than the above-mentioned brothers. He also has Truma heating. There are also five homologated seats as standard. Axess tempts with eight versions ranging in length from 5980 to 7480 mm . In longer variants, the bathroom was separated from the shower cubicle, in the shorter variants the toilet with shower was quite tightly compressed in a small area.

One is waiting

Since we've already entered the Matrix, it's worth noting that the Axess limited edition Platinum model is available on Allegro. The vehicle is exhibited by Elcamp , the official distributor of the Adria brand in Poland. The vehicle on display is sold as new, manufactured in 2017.

The motorhome has AL-KO air suspension, and the vehicle is powered by a 2.3-liter 150 HP engine connected to an automatic gearbox. The equipment includes, among others heating Truma Combi 6, 150-liter refrigerator and shelves illuminated with LED strips. It is also important that the car is protected by a 24-month warranty on components and accessories and a 7-year warranty on the tightness of the body .

The vehicle is available in an interesting interior design. In terms of colors - it is a combination of wood and cream upholstery . The system has two separate beds that can be joined together, filling the space between them with an additional mattress. The bathroom has been divided into two parts, and after closing the door on both sides, we will get space across the entire width of the vehicle.

Unlike this year's Axessa, the base of the motorhome on offer is also the Fiat Ducato . For many people, the fact that the car is in the showroom and is ready for collection may be a very big plus. Meanwhile, if you wanted to buy the 2017 version, you would have to place an order and wait - probably many months.

So who has approx. 365 thousand free PLN and dreams of a new motorhome, he has a reason to seriously consider the purchase. Just click here .

Tips
Motorhome accident repairs
When we have a motorhome with a minor or larger accident, or we intend to buy a collision car, it is always worth contacting a proven service, specialized in repairing motorhomes. The Elcamp company from Krakow, known as a manufacturer and seller of motorhomes and a distributor of car parts and accessories, also runs a camping car repair service. Not only what's outside Most often, during a collision, elements of the outer skin of the car are damaged. The effects, however, can be much more serious. It is always worth checking if the equipment inside the vehicle and installations: water, gas, electricity, TV and others have not been damaged. The next stage of repair is the replacement of damaged parts . It is safest to get a specific, new part directly from the manufacturer. Elcamp gives a guarantee for all work performed, unless the repair at the customer's request was not carried out in accordance with the recommended technology. Then no one will take responsibility for any future faults. The biggest enemy of any building is its leakage . The vast majority of motorhomes have "sandwich" coverings. After a collision, check if there are any leaks through which water enters the interior, causing the frame to rot. In the event of damage or leakage of the roof, we will usually have nothing else to do but replace it with a brand new one. This usually takes a lot of time and money. Is the repair worth it? In the autumn and winter period, the workshop is working at full speed. A company with as much experience as Elcamp undertakes every repair of a damaged vehicle . Clients usually ask two questions: about the cost and duration of the work. Unfortunately, post-accident repair can take up to several months . This is due to the fact that not all parts are available "out of stock". The cost obviously depends on the degree of damage to the vehicle or its equipment. When the initial cost , which is usually estimated at the first inspection, exceeds the value of the car, it makes no sense to undertake repairs. Repair expenses are, of course, a river topic. They can be up to 100% of the market value of the vehicle. It is worth emphasizing, however, that it is not synonymous with the actual selling price - well-kept cars, repaired with the use of original parts, reach prices above average market prices. Please check before buying Sometimes it's a good idea to buy a used vehicle. However, be careful with new (or almost new) cars at bargain prices . Then we can almost be sure that they have had an accident. Of course, you can do something with them, but it is important to know about a possible collision. The purchase of an accident motorhome can even be profitable, provided that the vehicle is thoroughly inspected and, during the inspection, as much damage as possible related to the incident (or even earlier) is noticed. It even happens that the cost of post-accident work is lower than in the case of non-damage repair. Remember that previous defects are easy to hide in a damaged car, in which the seller will not allow us to connect, for example, electricity or gas during the inspection, explaining that the installations may be out of order. Sometimes it is of course true, but in this way we are deprived of the possibility of checking individual pieces of equipment. Haste is a bad advisor To find a used motorhome in good condition, you need to spend some time searching for it. It is rare that the first copy that catches our eye is actually worth buying. Here there is a small problem - buying a car abroad. Since we are going far and spending money to see the car, even if it does not correspond to the description, we often decide to buy it anyway. This is a serious mistake. When we are not specialists ourselves, it is best to opt for an advisor - it is an expense much lower than the unexpected repair later. Elcamp's experts often advise on the purchase of damaged or used cars, both at the company's headquarters and at the seller, at the request of customers. However, as they say themselves, nothing can replace a car inspection in a professional service prepared for the comprehensive service of camping vehicles, which has all the necessary equipment. Thanks to them, it is possible to detect defects that even an experienced specialist will not notice with the naked eye.
