The engine room of Lunar’s operations is in the factory where all the designs are taken through to the end product by a highly qualified, experienced and skilful workforce of 150 fitters, installers and skilled craftsmen.

Projects Manager, Chris Talbot, whose father co-founded Lunar back in 1969, talks us through the process of making a Lunar caravan and motorhome

“It’s a 17 stage process that our 150 strong team goes through to ensure each and every Lunar model is built to specification. From taking the drawings and cutting list from the design team, our teams of specialists work on a specific area, whether it be machining, assembly, roofing, interior, exterior, electrics, gas/water and a final inspection,” said Chris, who has worked at Lunar since 1982.

“The raw materials we use allow us to build the lightweight caravans that make Lunar so famous. Our products are 35% lighter than MDF, meaning the caravans are lighter to pull, giving drivers an easy ride both on fuel consumption and the environment.

“Our recent investment in leading edge CNC machinery means we’re able to build our caravans with even greater accuracy and quality. Over the years, in response to customer feedback, we’ve added extras such as alloy wheels, ABS stabilisers and a new range of fabrics. We’re continually looking to enhance the build quality of our products, whilst paying stringent attention to health and safety regulations from the National Caravan Council.”
