› Adria Owners Club UK
Adria Owners Club UK was originally formed back in 2006, with the intention of bringing together the owners of Adria and Sun Living leisure vehicles, to share their passion for the brand and have fun gathering at events and rallies, held both across the UK and overseas.
Club membership is open to all current owners of Adria caravans, motorhomes, Twins and campers, and Sun Living vehicles.
Members of the club receive a regular newsletter, full of the latest information about club activities, a personalised card on their birthday, and advice, tips and help through the club’s dedicated website and its Facebook page.
There’s also a strong rally programme, which aims to cover the length and breadth of the UK, and there are annual Continental rallies, plus regular factory visits to Adria’s HQ in Novo Mesto, Slovenia.
The club holds most rallies on regular campsites, with grass/hardstanding pitches, hook-up, toilet and shower blocks and use of site facilities.
Members also have access to a number of discounts and a range of merchandise.
