Hi, new to this forum. We've sold our motorhome and are looking to buy Lunar. Couple of questions if I may...........

When do Lunar launch their 2012 models? As there sappears to be a number of new vans offered (showing online) at a 10-15% discount currently.

Does anyone have anything really negative to say about Lunar vans or the Lexon 540?

Your help is appreciated

Cheers!

I recently defected to Lunar after years of buying Bailey because the last two bailey vans (2007&2009) both had problems .
The 2007 developed a water leak in the awning rail at 20 months of age and the 2009 van had floor delamination at 12 months .
The Lexon SB is far better built than the two previous Bailey Pageants and the quality of the fitments is better .
I will most probably buy Lunar again when I change in 2012

We had a lunar prior to the swift we have now, ok ours was a 2005 van but have to say couldn't fault it, good quality built nothing ever broke , we only sold it as we wanted another layout and spec, but would definatly buy lunar again.

New models normally come out August/Sept but availability will be limited due to the time it takes to produce sufficient of each models and get them out to dealers as demonstrators etc.

I like my Lunar and it feels comfortable and homely for me, some 'vans just don't feel right. No major problems except a few minor cosmetic issues over interior edging and a light switch that seems to only work when it wants to. Nothing that a day at the dealers won't solve.

I had a couple of extra 240v sockets and a few other bits fitted when new to meet my needs and the dealer was ok to do this before I picked it up.

The only downside is that I like the 'van so much I spend more time in it than at home and then struggle to do enough work to earn my pennies to live on!
