Adria, Hall 10/A29
Slovenian manufacturer Adria has re-designed not one but two complete series of its motorhome models. The Coral Supreme and Coral Plus as well as the Matrix Supreme and Matrix Plus models have been completely modernised. The result is twelve completely remodelled, partially integrated motor caravans with new furnishing layouts as well as up-to-date interior and exterior designs.
In the Adria caravan series the eleven Adora models boast a new design. The most eye-catching feature of the new Adora is the extra-large panoramic window at the front. But the vehicle’s rear has also undergone a re-design complete with a new LED lighting system. The panoramic window shows off the newly designed, modern interior to its best advantage with plenty of daylight.
For camper vans Adria proposes a new low-cost, entry-level version with lifting roof: the Active Base. Without a kitchen module the camper van sleeps four: two in the vehicle and two in the lifting roof.

Electromechanical stability programs – commonly referred to as trailer ESP – have considerably contributed to increasing caravan road safety over the past 15 years. AL-KO has now fundamentally re-worked and further improved its successful ATC system (AL-KO Trailer Control). The new ATC is faster, more sensitive and flexible in use. Lateral movements are detected right at the trailer axles even before an ESP installed in the car for trailers could register the pendulum movement.
