Sadly it’s a bit of a hit and miss affair when it comes to caravans. Every manufacturer (and I mean every manufacturer, including the Continentals) turn out lemons every so often. Many issues are niggles, but on occasions there are real problems.
From a personal point of view, we are on our third Lunar. Before that I had a succession of Abbeys (Cosalt and Swift). The first Lunar (2009) was a REAL lemon, and with our dealer’s support, we got rid after nine months. That was the worst caravan we’d ever had. But, we replaced it with a 2010 Lunar Clubman that was absolutely brilliant. Our current incarnation is a 2015 Clubman SE that has had the odd niggle (all very quickly sorted by our dealer) and has, this week, just had it’s third service. Absolutely nothing to report, despite it being used all year and in all weathers!
If YOU like it, go for it. Like any forum, if you look at any manufacturer, be it cars or caravans, you’ll see that most folk on there have issues, which may taint your view and almost make you paranoid. But, if they had nothing to say, then the forum wouldn’t be very interesting would it.
We buy caravans that we like and suit us. Next time it might not be a Lunar, but then again it might be. I have no particular brand loyalty, but thus far I’ve had no issues with Lunar’s back-up service. Having said that, neither did we with Cosalt or Swift. Much depends upon your dealer.
