Caravan names

[Beachball]

We also owned Avondale Mayfly caravan for a few years

Our caravan is an Abbey 620 Vogue dealer special, a Cardinal.
We once owned a Lunar Satellite, a nice little 2 berth and we upgraded to a used Lunar Clubman which was so damp that it could have been called a Lunar Submarine 😳

Probably why they were known as Leaky Lunars. Our first 2 Lunars were brilliant and no issue with leaks. In 2012 we upgraded to a Delta and had no end of issues with damp around the front windows and the cassette door at the rear. With the latter the caravan must have gone back to the dealer 3 times for the damp repair. Eventually we could see pit marks where the rust had affected the aluminium skin. At that point we traded it in when it was 4 years old. Normally we kept a caravan for several years if it was a good one.

Actually i would agree with you because when we brought our Abbey the owner said don"t touch the leaky Lunar so far we haven"t .

Translation is "country home". They are lovely inside with I think the older ones had a small balcony on one end.

When we rejected our Buccaneer we travelled to view one of these caravans and there is no doubt that it is well made however it is very spartan. Just about everything was an extra taking the price to near the £40k mark. Disappointed in some of the fittings as blinds did not cover windows and on pulling down the front skylight blind, it came apart in my hands.

If i brought one of these i would put it on a seasonal site because you need a big SUV to pull it .
