Sun Living: What's new for this budget motorhome brand in 2025
Slovenian manufacturer, Adria Mobil’s Sun Living brand has compiled 15 years of experience into the 2025-season range to offer a more affordable entry into the world of campervans and motorhomes.
The vehicles are designed to appeal to both newcomers and experienced owners, and are said to be ‘convenient to own, simple to use and enjoy’, while also offering ‘everything you need and nothing you don’t’. The coachbuilt motorhomes are based, for the first time, on the latest Ford Transit chassis with a new darker blue on the exterior graphics providing a new look. On coachbuilt models with a coloured cab, this black or grey hue is neatly flowed into the motorhome body.
The entire Sun Living range is designed to be suitable for those with only a standard (Class B) car licence. New Style Packs are also available, consisting of a metallic black cab, 16in alloy wheels, special graphics, and special interior fabrics and carpets in both the cab and living area.
For UK residents, the Sun Living range is available at the following dealers: Brownhills Motorhomes (Newark), Geoff Cox Leisure (Derbyshire), Highbridge Caravan Centre (branches in Somerset and Devon), Wandahome (South Cave branch, near Hull), and Yorkshire Caravans & Motorhomes (Doncaster).

Sun Living S Series motorhome overview
In Sun Living terminology, the S Series is the low-profile range, offering a choice of three fixed bed layouts. All are built on the latest Ford Transit chassis, with the option of the new eight-speed automatic transmission (featuring a rotary controller - that's a dial on the dashboard to select forward and reverse, etc), as well as a comprehensive suite of standard safety and assistance systems.
These vehicles can cater for families as well as couples, as each has a drop-down bed over the front lounge as well as the fixed beds at the rear.
Inside, the new vehicles have been redesigned to feature more contrasting materials, offering a fresh ambience. Light-coloured woodwork is mated to white doors for the top lockers and contemporary dark details such as catches, handles, taps and shower door frames.
All models come with Truma Combi heating, an integrated system that creates hot water and vented warm air in one compact unit, and features the easy-to-use CP Plus control panel.
Compressor fridges are installed to help cater for those travelling to hot Mediterranean climates in the summer as they offer quicker cooling. These fridges also offer greater tilt tolerance; the conventional three-way fridges that run off gas can be less efficient when parked on slopes.
Washrooms have been redesigned and now have a wet zone with rotating shower doors, and a foldaway basin to create more space, while features such as a large mirror, robe hooks and plenty of storage have not been forgotten.
Also new for this year is the Adria Mach app, which has long been a feature of the parent company’s motorhomes. This allows you to remotely control many of the living area functions of the vehicle via your smartphone.
The Sun Living motorhomes have the option of three different interiors (above), each with their own unique name. The options are called Gavin, Joey, and Leo.
The body sides are made out of white polyester, with aluminium side skirts for durability (dents in the latter can be more easily repaired). The standard cab colour is a matching Frozen White, but Agate Black and Grey Matter are available options, too.
While every model sports a rear garage (a large storage area for bikes, barbecues and furniture, etc), these are still 3,500kg motorhomes so can be driven on a standard car licence.
The standard power unit is Ford’s 130hp 2-litre Eco Blue engine, though this can be upgraded to 165hp in combination with the new AT8 automatic gearbox.
The range starts with the S 72DC, a 7.29m motorhome which comes with parallel sofas up front and a rear island bed (measuring 1.95m by 1.50m). The settees convert into a pair of rear travel seats in this four-berth model, while the fixed table folds in half to create more room. Spaciousness is further enhanced by the overcab sunroof. Up above, the manual drop-down bed (1.95m by 1.25m) accounts for the additional berths. Simply pull it down at bedtime for a second comfortable bed.
Family meals can be concocted in the L-shaped galley with a three-burners-in-line hob that frees up more worktop space. A combined oven and grill is added with the All-Inclusive Pack.
Water capacities are 115 litres for fresh and 90 litres for waste.
Optional extras include bike racks, solar panels and luggage organisers for the garage area.
If you prefer single beds, then the S 72DL is broadly similar to its island bed compatriot, except of course in the bedroom (although it also benefits from slightly more room in the shower). It has the same specification throughout, but with twin beds in the stern measuring 2.00m by 75cm and mounted high over the garage.
The bedroom has windows on either side, reading lights, USBs and a roof vent.
Completing the S Series line-up is a slightly longer model, the S 75SL. The ‘L’ indicates that this is another single bed layout, while ‘S’ means that it swaps the ‘D’ side sofas for the classic continental favourite of a half-dinette with wall-mounted table and a side seat.
This model can also be upgraded to have a fifth travel seat if you order it as a 4,100kg vehicle (you'll need Category C or C1 on your driving licence, though).
As with all the S Series, Isofix is included for secure fitting of child seats.
All S Series motorhomes sold in the UK also come with the All-Inclusive Pack, which includes:
- Alloy wheels
- Cab blinds
- Fittings for a bike rack to be added
- Flyscreen on the door
- Overcab sunroof
- Awning
- Carpets
- Sink cover/chopping board
- Oven/grill
- Insulated/heated waste tank
- 100Ah leisure battery
- TV bracket
- Truma D 6 E diesel/electric heating
A Ford Luxury Pack is also available, adding the Trend dashboard, LED daytime running lights, front fog lights and colour-coded exterior plastics.

Introducing Sun Living's A Series overcab family motorhome
The new A Series shares a lot with its S Series sister models (including the All-Inclusive Pack), but with an overcab bed in the luton (the term for that protruding moulding above the cab), rather than a drop-down bed over the lounge.
Although this motorhome is more compact in length than any of the S Series low-profiles, it has the most berths. A true family motorhome, the A 70DK (the only layout in the range) has six sleeping berths and four travel seats, upgradable to five seatbelts on a 4,100kg chassis.
Previously described as ‘motorhomes with a bit of extra space’, the A Series has the same benefits and specification as the S Series but is designed to suit surfers, skiers and those with kids.
It has a floorplan with bunk beds at the back, reintroducing a past favourite from Adria’s Coral XL but at a lower price point. So, it incorporates child-friendly sleeping in two beds each measuring 2.10m by 85cm across the rear, with the lower berth that's foldable to create a good-sized garage area for bikes, etc.
Parents, meanwhile, will surely climb the ladder to the large overcab double (2.10m by 1.50m), although it is also possible to convert the lounge into a bed. Unusually, the overcab bed area not only has windows at either side but a large rooflight at the front, while half of the bed rises to allow an easier walk through into the Ford cab.
Down below, the lounge area feels very different to the S Series layouts as it has a pullman dinette as well as a side setee and swivel driver’s seat – it’s a super-spacious area for family dining and relaxing.
