Lunar Quasar 626, 2009

Price new: £15,795

This caravan is a: six-berths with fixed beds.

There are several big six-berths with fixed beds around. Examples include Swift’s Challenger 625 (Which Caravan’s current long-term-test model) – and Lunar’s offering, the Quasar 626.
The character’s in the detail
They’re the same layout. But there the comparison ends. For the Quasar 626 has character of its own. And it’s all in the detail. Two of the biggest plus-points of this model are in the bedroom arrangements. More specifically, it’s the way in which the bedroom and offside dinette-bunk areas are divided from the rest of the caravan. The corridor between bedroom and kitchen area is narrow. Disadvantage at first glance? No – it’s a positive point. From the living area, even with the concertina divider open, you feel that the bedroom is a totally separate room. And when you’re in the bedroom you get the feeling this is a cosy, cohesive en-suite area.
The second plus-point is the curtain that runs around the single-with-bunk-above on the offside. It tracks into its own slim cupboard, giving a neat appearance. And this little cupboard has another function. It helps to make that division between bedroom and living area even more distinct; it juts out in an L-shape to cocoon the rear end of the dinette, making this, too, feel like a cosy bedroom at night.

Our verdict

Both the price and the weight look good. The kitchen’s fantastic. The styling’s great, too. Everything about the layout spells out family holidays. Space for everyone in daytime and night-time mode. And the dividing arrangement between double bedroom ensuite and living area gives the caravan a head start above its same-layout competitors. Give it another mains power socket and this could just be the perfect six-berth.
