I am going to view this van this afternoon...

http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/lunar-delter-590-twin-axal-45-berth-1993-full-size-awning/98887501

From the pictures it looks HUGE!

From what I can gather the published tow weights for the van are:


Overall Length = 7.5meters
Internal Length = 5.9 meters
Awning = 933
MIRO = 1080 Kg
MTPLM = 1460

I can't understand how the MIRO can only be 1080kg for such a large twin axle caravan?

My last van was a 2003 Lunar Zenith 6. It was alot newer (you would assume vans would get lighter as technology develops) than the Delta I am going to see, it was a single axle and shorter yet its MIRO was only 55Kg lighter than the twin axle Delta.

How can this be?

Lunar have always made lightweight caravans. Hopefully you will check it out with a damp meter before committing yourself. Good luck.

Absolutely gutted. Drove a long way to go and see the van, but when I arrived the seller told me that he had just sold the van to someone else despite him knowing I was on route to see it.
