Had our van just under a year, a Lunar Solaris 3.
We bought it brand new £15,000, other half was just outside getting van ready for our trip away to Sandy Balls on Monday. He has come across damp in our bedroom and the bed was held on by staples and just about to collapse. £15,000 for a fixed bed held together by a few measly staples????
I wonder what Lunar have to say about this?

Blimey! Good job he checked it, I'd get down to the dealers straight away, Try not to let it ruin your holiday though, If they can't get it in straight away get it booked in for as soon as you get back.

I'm not sure if we will be able to go away as the bed isn't safe and we wouldn't all fit on the double at the other end of the van and we have no awning.
Lunar were not particularly helpful when we phoned them earlier so we phoned the place where we bought the van and they were not surprised when we told them what was wrong with the van, he had heard of dodgy beds before!
I just can't believe the shoddy workmanship of our van considering what we paid for it. We are extremely disappointed.
I just wish we had kept our Swift, we had no problems whatsoever with that van.

You must be gutted!!! I'm so sorry.
It makes me so cross when there's no quality control on the stuff we buy with hard earned/saved money.
At least the bed didn't collapse while you were in it, so no one has been hurt.
I really hope Lunar step up and get everything sorted quickly.

Not 'fit for purpose'. It really is worth taking advice and guidance from Consumer Direct. You have a very good case for full refund.-------------

Unfortunately they didn't seem interested, they just told us to take it back to the dealer.

The dealer will put it right under warranty on behalf of Lunar once they have received a report and given the go ahead for the works. That's how it works I'm afraid.

They are correct, its the dealer who sold you it, as with the snapped off wheel thread.

Yes, your complaint is against the dealer, not Lunar.

I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure!
