Advice needed please - Lunar Champ motorhome

Hi everyone, my first post. My wife and I are looking to purchase a motorhome for the first time, and the idea really appeals to us. After much looking, we decided upon a particular one -a 2008 Lunar Champ, and we're about to purchase.

However, I have learned today that both the Lunar Company and the Belgian parent company no longer exist. As a first timer I have no idea how much of a problem this may be in the future if we need parts or repairs etc. Perhaps we are better waiting for something else to become available. Any advice would be most welcome

There would be a number of things to consider if you really have your heart set on the lunar, the main one is use the fact that the manufacturer is no longer in business to try to push the price down. Try to find out which dealer used to be the main agent not only here in Ireland but also in England as they may have some parts available. The engine and chassis will be easy enough to repair/maintain as they are fairly common across all makes, they are all a commercial van at heart.

My worry would be the availability of the little things like rear light clusters which can be broken so easily thus creating a demand from all Lunar owners.

At the end of the day it's your money and your choice and the likelyhood of needing specific parts is probably slim, but unless it's a bargain I personally would look at other van options. There are many variations to layouts across all makes and it pays to find the right one for your needs, so go to as many dealers and look at as many as you can irrespective of price after all it's the layout you are after, then start the search for that layout in the price range you can afford.
