Ok so thinking about a part-exchanging for a newer van.
Want twin beds and not too heavy. Have looked online at Lunar 554 models (short front seats?), Elddis 574 models, Swift 564 model (longer front seats?), Bailey Pursuits. The firm that services our van does not rate Lunar or even Bailey models and recommended Adria. We had though these too heavy however I have found a light weight model Adria Adora 542 DL. Our max MTPLM will be that at 1500 kg.

Just wondered if anyone had any experience of any of these models..what you like/dislike etc.

Max spend would be about 14K

Thanks

I have a bailey Pegasus Rimini, always had A Swift so this is first Bailey and I quite like it. The only downside is you cannot set a timer for heating to come on and off and the fridge does not auto select.

Hi. Thanks. Bailey Rimini was another one that I had looked at but it was too expensive. I always thought Bailey were good vans.

Check the bed sizes on offer, some are either short or narrow, or both.

We have a 2014 Lunar Clubman SB and think it a great van and under 1500Kg even with a weight up-grade.

We have a Swift Challenger 565 and love it, should have got one sooner.

One of the beds is longer than the other (for me), the other is wider (for the wife..............), but the beds are fabulous and I sleep better in the van than I do at home.
Obviously SWMBO doesn`t read this..

We just have the Bailey Pursuit 2 berth and use the front seats as single beds. I'm 6'4" tall and find it big enough. Beauty is it gives us a nice roomy van which is still short and light.

We just use sleeping bags for bedding so simple to set up.
