We have a new lunar quasar caravan 462. On our first trip out we unfortunately had rain, and found that the front gas locker leaked soaking everything inside. We have since been back to the dealer. They said the seal was not fixed correctly. On returning from dealer, some 15 miles, again in rain, the water was on the inside of the door and in bottom of looker. Has anyone else had this problem?

Our new Lunar Quasar had a problem with the front hatch. It is made of two sheets of GRP. But they are only riveted together at the top and not bonded. When driving through heavy rain they fill up with water. When we arrived on site and lifted the hatch to turn on the gas, the water drained out on us. It was water tight at the bottom, but not at the top! My dealer reckoned it was a known problem with a known fix. They drilled a series of holes along the bottom edge of the inside GRP panel so that the water could drain straight out. In theory, when I get on site the rain water should have already drained away. I was worried about any water freezing whist in storage and splitting the two parts.

Tony. I have the exact same problem on my 2017 quasar 574. Did the dealer drill the holes along the lower section as a warranty repair and also have you found it to be successful. I would appreciate your advice as I am thinking of doing exactly the same thing myself. but dont want to invalidate the warranty.

The locker door was replaced but still let water in. The workshop manager,at the time, sent an email to lunar, which I had a link to. Their reply was that it should not leak this much so to investigate. A fitter came to our house and adjusted the hinges as tight as possible. Finally the problem is cured. If only the workshop fitters bothered as much as the you lad who visited us, the problem would have been fixed months ago.

So found these old postings because I have this problem of a leaky gas locker on my 2019 Lunar Lexon 560.
I wondered
a) would it be possible to add a third lock in centre of door
b) has anyone tried it? and
c) would it work?
be very interested in views please
