From pioneering models in the 1960s to today’s advanced, precision-engineered RV range, Avida has been inventive for 60 years, driven by a commitment to evolving with customers’ needs and setting benchmarks across the industry.
The annual Awards celebrate the very best among a highly competitive field of businesses and professionals across the caravan, camping, manufactured housing and land-lease living sectors. Avida’s achievement underscores the company’s dedication to innovation, reliability, and the spirit of adventure that has defined the brand since 1965.

To be honoured in such a milestone year makes this achievement even more meaningful.”
