Finally, you decided to get motorhome — but are you getting lost in the wide range of types? In this guide, you will find 4 main types, their differences, and Adria models for each category.
Campervan / Conversion
Compact motorhome · van converted insideYou can recognize a campervan because it retains the body of the base vehicle around the perimeter, but the interior is converted into a camping vehicle.
The conversion has two main advantages: smaller dimensions compared to other types, and practicality for everyday use. It can be used as a recreational vehicle as well as a personal car (just slightly larger) for commuting or shopping.

Semi-integrated motorhomes
Semi-integrals · chassis + cab + superstructureThe vehicle chassis with the driver’s cab is combined with the motorhome body. The original cabin is preserved — by turning the driver and passenger seat, the living space is complemented.
For the capsule, Adria developed and refined the design over decades construction over decades — torsional strength of wood, polyurethane durability, and moisture-blocking polyester.
Semi-integrals are larger and more spacious than conversions. Standard: bedroom at the back, bathroom (with integrated shower or separate cubicle), living area (can be converted into a bed). Some also have a pull-out bed at the front. Garage for bicycles or equipment.
Alcoves
With sleeping space above the cab — familySolid construction with sleeping space above the driver’s cab (usually for 2 people). Alcoves allow accommodation for up to 6 people — that is why they are particularly popular with families.
Historically, alcoves were small — people slept sitting up. Today, windows, ventilation, and a bed length of up to 2 m are standard.
The body is comparable to semi-integrals — but instead of a roof hood there is a fixed alcove superstructure. Driving characteristics are noticeably different — watch out for bridge heights and low clearances.

Fully integrated motorhomes
Special body directly from the manufacturer — top categoryFrom the base vehicle remains only the chassis, dashboard, and controls. The front part and the rest of the body are a special construction from the manufacturer.
The driver’s cab smoothly transitions into the living space — more space and a more attractive appearance as a single unit. High-quality interior finish, wide equipment options, comfort is top priority. Storage space is one class higher than alcoves and semi-integrals.
Most have a front folding bed — comfortably fits 4 people.
