Lunar Solar 524 - any issues when buying?

[tentmonster]

I'm new to caravanning and am looking at buying a starter van. I will be viewing a 1998 Luna solar 524 in the next few days that fits our needs.

Are there any forum members who own one? What issues have you had with them? What should I be looking out for when buying?

Thanks

Sean

Hi Tentmonster, welcome to the forum.
Used caravans have many similar issues no matter what make they are, damp being the chief caravan killer :dry:
There are basic things to look out for no matter what make of tourer you buy.
First and foremost make sure that the weights add up, it's no good buying a caravan that is too heavy for your towcar.

Sometimes caravans are not quite 'as advertised' which is why it's vital to inspect your prospective purchase to verify it's true year of manufacture, the sellers right of ownership and the condition of the caravan.

Good luck and if there's anything at all that you're not sure of just ask
