we are thinking of upgrading to a clubman sB or may be or the same with fixed bed to side. We would ideally like the new shape version so 2013 onwards but they are a little more than our budget allows so may go for a 2011 or 2012 model has anyone had any experience or can offer any advice on either please
Thanks in advance

We used to have a 2011 Clubman SE and really liked the van. Good storage under the fixed bed and the bathroom was a good size.
The only damp issue that we had with it was the access door for under the bed. Door was replaced under warranty, problem solved.

We have had a 2011 Clubman SB from new. Really like the caravan, and will be keeping it. No damp found at any of the services, floor delaminated after 4 yrs but was repaired under warranty. Have not had any serious issues and would buy one again.
Previous van, a Bailey also had a floor de-lam at 4yrs old, so whatever you buy, check the floor.

We looked at the 2011 Lunar Clubman, we found that the concertina blinds were very difficult to move, also it was reported that there could be some problems with the Aldi heating.
The blinds can be moved, you just have to have the knack.

We had 4 consecutive Lunar Clubmans from about 2004 to last year, second- hand and then new. We were very happy with all the Lunars but when looking to change last year we felt the new Clubman interiors had gone rather over the top, so switched to a Coachman VIP which we love. However, if in the market for a used van we would happily look at the older Clubmans. As always though, check for service history, tyre condition and especially age, no damp etc and thoroughly test everything you can. If buying from a dealer, insist on even little things (eg stiff or loose blinds) being put right before you take it.
