Lunar Caravans has confirmed the details of its all-new brand Venus, which will be publically unveiled at the London Excel Centre tomorrow (February 14th).
This completely new range will come in a choice of four single-axle layouts, and with weights as low as 905kg, these tiny tourers can be towed by pretty much anyone.
The classic exterior design is just what we have come to expect from Lunar, while the interior boasts an impressive level of specification for such an affordable price.
Standout items in the Venus range include the Whale underfloor space heating system and rapid heat-up water heater, which have both proved so popular on the Elddis Xplore collection.
Move into the kitchen and you will find a three-burner gas hob and combination oven/grill, both of which are made by Thetford. What’s more, each caravan comes fitted with a Dometic fridge and a full-width freezer section, although there is no mention of a microwave.
In terms of upholstery, the Venus features a floral design called Lolita, which is complimented by Oak-coloured woodgrain panelling.
The fab four
At launch, this range will be offered in a choice of four layouts – the two-berth 320/2 and 380/2, as well as the four-berth 490/4 and 500/4 options.
Starting at the smaller end of the scale and the 320/2 is the one most likely to get people talking, as it weighs in with an MTPLM of just 905 kg, making it 25kg lighter than any other caravan built in the UK today.
This two-berth layout features a parallel lounge arrangement, a side washroom and an end kitchenette.
When set up at night, this model makes an amply sized double that measures 6’4″ by 4’7″ – and fitting this into a caravan that is just over 16-feet long is no mean feat.
Alternatively, for couples who want a little extra space…
