Full Review
More and more caravanners are choosing fixed bed layouts, which goes some way to explain why Lunar’s all-fixed-bed Lexon range is its best-seller. It also explains why the range has just grown by one…
Enter the Lexon SE. It rides on a single axle yet borrows from its ‘twin’ sister RS model the luxurious rear bathroom that has made the RS so popular.
So how does Lunar squash all that layout into little over five and a half metres? What you gain in the capacious rear dressing/shower room you lose in the lounge; the SE’s settees are the short type, which means the bed arrangement here at the front is strictly a double (or two singles for small children). But of course there’s still ample seating for four.
There are no compromises in the kitchen area. It’s a superbly-designed galley-style kitchen with the heater cabinet augmenting the already-large working surface of the cooking area of the kitchen on the offside.
And the nearside dresser unit, complete with huge drinks cabinet, gives you a good-sized kitchen cupboard – important as the one in the centre of the kitchen is very narrow. Correspondingly, cutlery is best accommodated in the larger drawer in the dresser as the fitted cutlery drawer in the kitchen is too small for all your items.
In total, kitchen storage is well planned. Storage elsewhere is generous, too, especially in the wardrobe area where four large drawers sit beneath the hanging space.

Our Verdict
The Lunar Lexon SE is a caravan to consider if you are seeking fixed-bed luxury in a layout that’s not much over five and a half metres – and also gives you a rear washroom with separate shower. It’s a new addition to the Lexon range for 2009, It’s modern in decor, it’s light in weight – and excellent value.
Advantages
Plenty of storage space
Luxury rear shower room

Not as spacious as twin-axle alternatives in the range
