What about something like this - I think you will struggle to get Alde heating for under £13k (but I could be wrong) as I thought it was only fitted into 2011 models??

We have been looking for a new one that has a fixed island bed and Alde heating for 2 years and isn't a Lunar. To date nothing, so good luck. For £13k. I think not!!!!

Sorry

Have you looked at Adria & Hobby? I can't recommend any specific models but I know they're cheaper to start with, we saw a lovely Adria at the NEC show last year that had twin beds that could also be pushed together to make a double.

I do like Lunars but agree they probably aren't the most durable, my parents had an 18 month old one and only kept it for 1 holiday, the bottom fell out the drawer, the board at the end of the front seat pushed out if you leant on it & the edging around the worktops & drawers had already started to flake

Cheers John lol.

Have been looking at a couple of dealer websites and they are starting to clear the 2011 stock ready for 2012 so was hoping we may hit lucky. First of all tho i need to find what models suit our needs. Looks like a trip around the web may be needed lol

Hi Bill

The new Swift Sports models are very nice but they still have the Truma fire in them. Had a discussion with one of there guys over it and suggested they put in the new Whale system but apparently it is not that good. The Alde heating adds quite a bit more weight to the van which is why you only find it in rather flimsy Lunars. We we were tempted with a Lunar SI Clubman but eventually decided we really wouldn't be happy with a Lunar after years of owning Swifts.

Caravans wirth Alde heating are not easy to come by and any reductions on new vans certainly don't come down to your budget of £13k. The new Truma fires are apparently a lot more efficient than the older versions so I wouldn't rule them out altogether.
