Lunar Clubman SB family of 4? (layout conundrum)

Doesn't bother us either BB lots of vans are like that. Could be bonus if its as small as DSB reported, you could sit on the loo and cook the breakfast all at the same time

We have a rear washroom with our Lunar and If kiddies were using the side dinnette for sleeping it would not be a problem. The problem comes though in vans that have fixed singles and toilet beyond as it stops the use of a table for kids to use for games etc.

We've ordered a new Bailey Pegasus which has fixed bunks, a family area at the front which turns into a double bed and then a separate single dinette at the back with a rear bathroom. we looked at so many different vans and decided this was the best layout for us. it means the kids' beds came be left made up yet they have their own seating area too and we still maintain our main family area. You can only choose what suits your family needs best. Good luck!

When we were considering a new van back in 2007/8, Swift had a layout with the bed at the rear and a split shower/toilet+WHB layout, so it is nothing new.

Well done Swifty7, sounds like you have made a good choice, enjoy it when you get it.

Thanks for all your comments however we are none the wiser lol, i guess thats how it is buying a first caravan. we are going to the NEC so will have a better idea (hopefully) from there. The Sterling seems logical but the Luner is desirable :)

The show will let you look at what layouts the manufacturers favour at the moment, and some will be seriously barmey. These are by no means all the layouts that have been produced in the past and you may be surprised at good layouts now "abandoned".

Remember, the driver for manufacturers is to produce something new and different from their competitors - not something that caravaners will find practical for their needs. You may be concerned at older vans being damp - but according to the hushed up CC survey it is factory fitted on most vans now.

You could always go for an older van made before damp was part of the spec.

Are you saying all new caravans suffer from damp?

..If you read some of the posts that appear on here you would think so ,     but as most UK manufacturers now offer a ten year warranty  against water ingress,   then you read into it what you want?

What I will advise that is very important is   ,when looking at c/vans or even motor caravans,(any make)   do not be swayed by a "better"deal from a dealer that that is a long way from where you live,   because you will probably not have much assistance from a local dealer if you need warranty work,, the dealers do not get the "going rate" for remedial"warranty " work
