Also check underneath as the steadies are just mounted on the wooden floor base on some lower spec models

Our neighbour's went through the ply and so the dealer put on a bigger piece

Thanks for all your pre-warnings, I am collecting my new Lunar (2005 model) Quasar tomorrow (12/11) and as I am staying for the night at Preston, I will have plenty of things to check over as this is my first caravan and any faults will have to be ammended on Sunday, before I make the long trek back to Bristol.

Just one question: When the caravan is completly empty, is there any weight on the coupling, which would need to be included within the nose weight,

best regards, Martin 

We were offered a really good deal on one with a fixed island bed, but when we tried the bed it seemed very very hard has anyone else found that with them ? not sure if they have any left now but a Local Caravan Centre was finishing selling tourers so all the stock was reduced to clear.

I managed to bring the van back to Bristol on Sunday, I had one Gas Bottle, the Spare Wheel and the Wheel Clamp as additional nose weight and the van was as steady as a rock, all the way, the children didn't complain about the fixed bunkbeds, so they must have been OK..  The only problem I have at present, is reversing the thing, but as this is my first van, then hopefully I will improve before the clutch burns out.

As for leaks, I just hope they appear before the 3 year warranty runs out .

Just one query, as I have an AKS3004 Stabiliser, can I leave the hitchlock on whilst I am towing (as stated in Towsure), or should this be removed for safety reasons,

best regards, Martin

You can leave it on but there is a problem for the emergency services if you are involved in a serious accident

Unlikely but

I have had enough of the Lunar . I have had problems for 2 years now, it has at least one problem every time i have taken it out. I collect a Bailey tomorrow. Wish me luck.

PS.    Beware of Robinsons Caravans of Worksop and Brimington, Chesterfield. They tried to sell me a caravan to heavy for my car. I paid a £500 deposit and they would not refund it even though they had mis-sold the caravan. In fact they wanted £900 for " loss of profit"- To add insult to injury they only guarantee caravans for 3 montht, the one I was buying was £9000 ! But they were prepared to sell me a longer one, I think it was £290! They are not a member of the National Caravan Council or subscribe to The Bailey guaratee on there used caravans. Buyer Beware
