I hope someone can help. Have recently purchased a 2006 Lunar Chateau 450 in good conditions, with just a few niggles we thought we be easy to rectify (?!!).

Main one being the shower (or lack of it). The seller said that he had done something to the shower to stop his kids from keep pulling on the shower cable. We can see no way that the tap in the bathroom can turn into a shower as it is identicle to the kitchen sink tap ?.... can someone please  describe to me (or photograph) what the tap looks like. Does it pull out ?, hook up when in use ??... we are starting to think he may have changed the tap head. any comments welcome.

Also, we have tried to contact a few places re spares to sort out a couple of other issues, but with no luck. Does anyone else know where to get parts from ?... I understand that the 'chateau' part of Lunar no longer exist.

And finally, dosen't it seem crazy that the table can't be used outside. Feels almost like a spare leg would come in handy ....

Its a fantastic van, just want to iron out all the issues before we head off on summer hols.

Sorry, we had a  2002 470, the shower was a proper shower head but the tray wasn't sealed.  Not the best idea but I believe this changed in latter models.  Also the table was fine to use outside the 'van, so I haven't really been a lot of help I'm afraid.  I didn't realise the Chateau side of Lunar didn't exist anymore.  The reason we got rid of ours after only a year was the refusal of a repairer to do an insuarance repair due to the spare parts being difficult to get hold of.

We used to have a 2002 Chateau 450, the tap on the sink used to pull out to be used as the shower. As above the shower tray was not that well sealed so we never used it, i suppose with a good shower curtain you could have.

Our tables where the same as they used to double up as the bed base.
