Slovenian manufacturer Adria has unveiled the Alpina 2027, featuring a comprehensive redesign of its exterior, interior, and technical specifications. The flagship caravan is available with a new AL-KO chassis with a gross weight of up to 2300 kg, and models 663 HT, 663 PT, and 903 HT offer an optional Signature Lounge module with adjustable backrests and convertible sleeping space. The kitchen includes a combined hob with two gas burners and one induction zone, while the bathroom features an ALDE heating system. The model is set to premiere at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf from August 28 to September 6, 2026.

The number of registered motorhomes in Slovenia keeps rising: at the end of 2025 there were 10,355, more than double the 2017 figure of 4,880. Renting a motorhome costs between 80 and 200 euros per day depending on the model and season, and with fuel, tolls and campsite fees the total daily expense can reach 300 euros. Demand exceeds supply, and bookings are recommended 4–5 months ahead, sometimes a year.
