Balancing luxury interiors with lightweight and energy-saving considerations, the new Lexon range from Lunar Caravans offers a range of smart solutions and extra bathroom space.

It's all change in the mid-range models, with only the Lexon 550 remaining unaltered for 2012 - and that caravan was only introduced four months ago.

Launched last week at the Farington Lodge Hotel near Preston, the new 520 model is an interesting addition to the range, with its flexible four-berth layout - ideal for small families taking a touring holiday.

On the outside, Lunar has given the Lexon range sharp new graphics and a redesigned back end, but it's on the inside where buyers will really notice the difference.

The spacious end-bathroom unit features several domestic-style fittings, including a 'swan neck' basin tap and an LED-lit vanity mirror unit.

Furthermore, the shower features the Eco-Camel showerhead (as seen on BBC One during last year's series of the Apprentice), which reduces water consumption by 20 per cent, while keeping the pressure as high as ever.

LED lighting can be seen throughout, in order to keep the energy consumption levels down, meaning you won't need to charge the batteries too often.

Lunar's green credentials don't stop there, either... Read more
