hello fellow caravanners!

going to view the lunar quasar 546 (new) again tomorrow, this will be the 3rd weekend in a row i've got hubby to do this and his paitence is running short, so i need to make my mind up before he says 'forget it' !!

does anyone own this van would love feedback good and bad, and any alterations which have made a real difference to you,

love than van initally but alittle worried that it's quite narrow 7'1" wide, and with 3 kids in tow, not sure if it's too narrow!

let me know your thoughts!

thanks everyone x

We've got the Bailey Ranger which is 7ft 2" wide.  We used to have a 7ft wide 'van and can't really feel the difference.  When someone is at the sink and someone wants to come past its a bit of a squeeze but manageable lol.

We love the versatility of the 3 bunks room.  We use the bottom bunk for the dogs to sleep under (the bed lifts up and lays along the wall)

It's a good idea to keep going and look at it and working out how it will all work for your family.  I used to go and look at mine and work out where i was going to put everything and whether it would fit or where it would fit :)

My dh used to hate me going to look at new 'vans on the market because he thought i'd want a newer one but as soon as i saw the GT60 i knew she was the one :) and she still is :)

When the kids want to bring friends they can because there is plenty of beds to accomadate them :)

We have the 2010 Lunar Quasar 546 and absolutely love it. We looked at a few triple bunk models and knew this was the one for us as it had a more open and bright feel to it than all the rest we looked at. Some of the rear bunk/dining areas felt dark and too shut-off from the rest of the space for us.

It is light and easy to tow as well as having a spacious front lounge and rear diner. The long front lounge also means if you don't fancy manking any beds up at night (too tired!) you can use them as two singles.  We don't use all three bunks so use the bottom bunk for storage. The fact that this storage area can be shut off and easily accessed both externally or internally is a bonus for us. The separate shower in such a light caravan was also one of the reasons we chose the Lunar. I was surprised how good the shower was - better than some on site!

We haven't found it to be too narrow and our toddler can run up and down whilst I am preparing food in the kitchen quite happily. The only alteration we did have to make ourselves was to add a piece of wood to the middle bunk to make it safer for my two year old as there was no guard there.

Happy looking, and I hope you find the caravan that's right for you!

Hi holiday-kate

We picked up our 2010 Lunar Quasar 546 on Friday and are absolutely delighted. We went away Friday and Saturday nights and loved the spacious open feel. The finish inside was excellent.

We had a couple of extra items to make life a little easier, an extra socket over the work space so that you could have kettle and toaster plugged in and also 2 extra spot lights in the front lounge (the kitchen/wardrobe end) just so that if you are reading you can easily see what it is.

All in all a brilliant van and we looked at all of the other fixed bunk models and still know we've made the right choice. If you need extra living space then consider and awning, we bought the Kampa Rally 260 which took 30 mins to put up (first time hoping that this will come down to about 15 next time).

Can't wait for our next holiday and our 4 yr old son is super excited about having one. Towing was brilliant and was suprised how much stuff we could store inside without creating an issue with weight.

All the best in convincing your other half.
