Throughout the week we’ve been bringing Caravan Times readers all the latest industry developments from the 50th anniversary Boat & Caravan Show. In today’s round up we take a closer look at two new models from Lunar Caravans.
Champions of ‘lightweight luxury’, Lunar has added two new models to its 21-strong portfolio; the Lexon 550 and Quasar 464.
The firm has homed in on the family market, as Martin Henderson, sales and marketing director, explains: “With increasing fuel and tax prices, the benefits of touring in a lightweight family caravan have become more evident in terms of greater fuel economy and the choice of a smaller towcar.”
These two new models highlight our rigorous commitment to producing lightweight caravans that combine home-from-home comfort with practical and flexible living space.”
The four berth Quasar 464 and the five berth Lexon 550 both feature bunk beds and good levels of kit.
