Water ingress in a Lunar Stellar 400

[mauron]

I own a 2001 Lunar Stellar 400 and have just been informed it is going to cost about a thousand pounds to repair the damp caused by leaking window seals. Has anyone else experienced what I can only describe as the apalling build quality of this model?

Thanks Jon, and here's me thinking only Lunars are 'crap'. What really rankles however is the total disinterest shown by most of these manufacturers once they've sold their products.

I was told by the repair man, that the problem is caused by the recent 'boom' in caravanning. Apparently, the manufacturers are throwing their vans together as fast as they can in some kind of feeding frenzy to make as much money as possible. Not a good sign for the future of British caravanning. (Quite a passable Victor Meldrew rant wasn't it?)

boom and BUST springs to mind !!
