Leap into the past // Start of the motorhome production

After several prototypes have been made the initial production of motorhomes, which were then marketed under the brand name Adriatik, started in February 1986 in Deinze. The model range at that time included only two models, both of which were alcove versions made on the Fiat Ducato 14 base vehicle. It quickly became clear that for successful sales of motorhomes more models were needed, so new layout versions were developed in the following two years.

In 1987 square exterior body shape with sharp contours and broken lines, which was typical for first motorhomes, was changed, and rounded lines defined the new design of motorhomes. With growing popularity 1991 saw the introduction of the first semi-integrated model of Adriatik motorhomes, which was available in five layout versions.

Due to difficult economic and geopolitical situation in that period Adria Caravan was faced with demanding financial situation and the production of Adriatik motorhomes in Deinze consequently stopped. In the same year a new company Adria Mobil, d. o. o., was established and today we can say that this meant a new beginning and revival of the Adria brand.
