    Temporary Caravan Insurance (1 day)

    I am presently insured with Wise Insurance, very good (rather cheap) but this is for a caravan which we keep on site all year round. We are presently in the process of changing vans and need to pick up our new one from another location, only trouble being, the van will not be insured for...

    Westpoint Caravan Show - Not impressed

    Although I was warned that this show hasn't, in the past, been very good for caravan owners, I still, against advice, decided to take the plunge and travel down to have a look - What a mistake - Apart from three dealers that turned up with a very limited stock of caravans (one of them there...

    3 yrs old and got damp

    Hi Darrel and welcome to the club - I haven't had dealings with Abbey/Swift but have with Lunar, if the warranty clauses were the same as Lunar you wouldn't have been covered anyway even if it was within the 3yr period. Lunar place the warranty on the purchaser, not the item! I bought...

    Lunar Warranty

    Hi Meister, Most manufacturers warranties are transferable, even though it may be at a price, but it still would have been nice to have a choice - Lunar's warranty doesn't give you this - It suggests to me that its easier for Lunar to keep the buyer happy than it is to back their own...

    Help with fitting an inbuilt Microwave?

    I own a Lunar Quasar EB 2006 and would like to move the microwave off the worktop as it does take up a fairly large proportion of space. Added to this, I have recently found out, following a forum article on this site, that the later model of the Quasar EB (Interior looks identical to mine) has...

    Our first caravan

    Just a word of warning - if you are looking to buy a relatively new caravan, with some warranty still left on - I advise to check the small print as some manufacturer's warranty's are not transferrable - I bought, our first caravn, a Lunar that was just over a year old, the service identified a...

    Proving Damage not your fault.

    John, Sorry to hear about your troubles but I would suggest putting it through the insurance and finding a good repairer, not one that Lunar recommend, as you may need to read the small print on the guarantee for the work completed. I had a problem with a Lunar Eb 2006 and had to deal with...

    Anyone had troubles with Discovery (Mendip Caravans) after Sales

    I thought I had problems but my sister in law bought a brand new Magnum from Mendip Caravans at Weston-super-Mare, delivered to the site at Easter 2008. Since then the furniture has become thread bear, with the threads actually becoming loose and hanging. Went back to after sales at Mendip...

    National Caravan Council

    Due to the problem I've had recently with Lunar's warranty, I hoped that National Caravan Council may have been able to assist as they are supporting the makers warranty by proudly showing their seal of approval under the explanation of the companies "Extended Peace of Mind Warranty" in Lunars...

    Lunar Warranty

    I have recently purchased a 2 year old Lunar Caravan and after having a service carried out found there was water ingress present and sought to claim off Lunars 3 year peace of mind warranty. I was surprised to find out that the three year warranty is only valid on the person who bought from...
