Full review

In a medium-sized caravan, accommodating six at night is far easier than providing enough space for a big brood by day. It’s during the daytime that you value play space, especially when weather forces activities to come into the confines of the caravan.
The 556’s layout puts the kids first, by giving them the larger of the two lounges. Two full-length settees each make single beds and bunks rise above them, secured up against the walls by day.
This splendid family area has its own two-drawer unit with pull-out extending table top and space beneath the drawers for books or DVDs – and it’s identical to the front cabinet.
The under-settee storage compartments have large drop-down doors – and, usefully, exterior hatches, too. The bunks have wooden shields to prevent occupants from rolling out. The table for this area is free-standing, a duplicate of the one for the front, which means you can use either of them (or both) in an awning. Lunar, it seems, thought of everything when they designed this family area. They even put pelmets above the windows, creating a small amount of extra shelf space.
There’s another aspect of the 556’s layout that we think families will love – a separate shower, with a little seat created specially for toddlers. (It’s actually the wheel arch cover, but don’t tell the kids.)
The cook, though, doesn’t get it so good. Kitchen storage space is confined to a slim cabinet between the fridge and the oven.
Apart from lack of storage space, the kitchen works well. And there are a couple of aspects that we really love. One is the electric hotplate along with the three gas burners. The other is the large  sink. Washing up plates and pans for six people would be no problem here.
The 556 caters well for television-watchers, with three connection points, all of which have satellite inputs. One is at floor level in the lounge. There’s another in the children’s area. Both are near to the central drawer units, the natural place on which to put a TV. But there’s a puzzle. There’s a set of TV points in the kitchen, too – but nowhere to put a TV here. Usefully,  alongside it are two mains sockets. That’s the toaster and the kettle sorted, then.
Quasars are at the lower end of the Lunar price range. Yet they look and feel anything but economy class. Evidence of this is clear as soon as you step inside and see the array of cushions that combine to create extreme cosiness. You get four square scatter cushions and two rectangular bolsters for each of the lounges. And the microwave is a high-end model, with auto-cook facility which features buttons for beverages, frozen pizza and pasta. You also get a radio with a MP3 point and a CD player. All of this demonstrates that, although Quasars are Lunar’s lowest price range, they’re well above that level in terms of equipment.
