Adria’s Renault-based camper has been available on the Continent for a couple of years now, but as is often the way, its transfer over to the right-hand drive environment of the UK has taken a little more time.
This is partly due to the base vehicle: Renault wanted the version of the Trafic with two sliding doors to be used for this purpose - hence the ‘Duo’ in the name – which meant a bit of juggling around with the design.
The vehicle made a brief debut at the Caravan, Motorhome and Camping Show at the NEC in February last year, only to be withdrawn for alterations. When it reappeared, it impressed the judges in our recent Motorhome of the Year awards so much that it won the Best Small Campervan category.
Just before it achieved that accolade, we took the Active Duo for a spin for almost a week – first around the coast of Essex, then up to West Yorkshire and back again. This is what we thought.
