Thu 24th September 2015 category - general Lunar Caravans has enjoyed a positive start to the new 2016 season with an increase of 75% on orders taken at The Caravan Extravaganza, held at The Lawns in Hull (5th & 6th September). It was the debut outing for the 2016 Lunar Caravan collection and the Venus range. The new season Lunar models have been carefully restyled and feature a whole host of new features and specifications. Highlights for the new Venus range include exterior decals, soft furnishings and a new washroom sink. All models were well received by both trade and consumer visitors but the best performing range was Clubman and Delta, achieving over 60% of the sales. New features for this range include a ‘Maxi Skyview’ roof light, soft furnishings, restyled kitchen and washrooms and the AL-KO Automatic Adjustment Braking system. The highlight of the show was the performance of the new Delta RI, which sold five units. The four-berth Delta RI offers an innovative new layout, featuring a spacious mid washroom which leads to a rear bedroom with a transverse island bed with ‘Easy Action’ day/night mode, fittings for a wall mounted flat screen TV and an end window. Also well received, and contributing directly to tourer sales, was Lunar’s innovative new optional island bed mattress extender. This padded mattress strip works in harmony with the transverse island bed and makes the total mattress length 6'4" when in night mode without imposing on space in the caravan during daytime use. Says Lunar’s National Sales Manager, Lee Roberts; “This is a very positive response to the first public appearance of our 2016 caravan collection and fills us with optimism for the year ahead, and the NEC show next month.”
