Is the Ace Award Firestar a practical choice for couples?
The Ace Award Firestar is a single-axle caravan that balances luxury with a manageable 7.18m length. It is particularly suited to couples or small families who prioritise a permanent sleeping area, as it features a fixed rear double bed and a spacious full-width end washroom. With a price range between 6500 and 11500, it represents a value-focused entry into the fixed-bed market.
- Fixed rear double bed with a domestic-style mattress.
- Full-width end washroom including a separate walk-in shower.
- Versatile front lounge converting to a double or two single beds.
- Kitchen equipped with a 3-way fridge and integrated microwave.
- AL-KO stabiliser hitch and chassis for towing stability.
Worth knowing: The 211kg payload may be restrictive for those carrying heavy equipment. Kitchen worktop space is reduced when the sink and hob are both in use. As an older model, units require inspection for damp around the seals.
Buying an Ace Award Firestar
Who it suits
- Couples seeking a fixed bed layout without the need for daily assembly.
- Small families of up to 4 people who require a separate shower cubicle.
- Tourers who prefer the easier manoeuvrability of a single-axle chassis.
Reasons to consider it
- The fixed bed and end washroom layout is typically found in larger caravans.
- Swift-group construction provides a robust and well-recognised build.
- The 2.29m width and 7.18m length offer a bright, airy interior atmosphere.
What to check
- Verify the condition of the seals to ensure no water ingress has occurred.
- Test the Truma blow-air heating and hot water system for full functionality.
- Check the operation of the large Heki panoramic rooflight.

Worth knowing: Payload limits require careful management of personal effects. Damp checks are essential due to the age of the production run.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ace Award Firestar | 4 | 1495 kg | 7.18 m | £6,500 to £11,500 |

The Ace Award Firestar competes in a popular segment against models like the Bailey Senator Indiana and Lunar Lexon. While its 1495kg MTPLM is typical for a 4 berth caravan of this era, its specific appeal lies in the combination of a fixed bed and a full-width rear washroom on a single axle. It offers a similar length to the Senator Indiana but provides a different interior aesthetic through its light wood finishes and panoramic windows. Compared to the Lunar options, it is slightly heavier but focuses on a robust interior feel.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
