Is the Lunar Lexon 550 2012 a practical choice?
The Lunar Lexon 550 2012 is a 4-berth caravan that balances a 7.36m length with a relatively low 1460kg MTPLM. It is defined by its fixed transverse island bed and central washroom, making it a strong candidate for couples or small families seeking a permanent bedroom layout without the weight of heavier competitors. With prices typically between 10500 and 13500, it offers a high standard specification including panoramic windows and external utility points.

The Lunar Lexon 550 2012 sits in a competitive mid-range bracket, priced between 10500 and 13500. Compared to the Lunar Clubman or Elddis Affinity, it offers a specific balance of a 7.36m length and a 1460kg MTPLM. While the Elddis Affinity provides a longer 7.42m frame and the Lunar Ultima 554 offers a lighter 1420kg MTPLM, the Lexon 550 remains a distinct choice for its specific transverse island bed and central washroom configuration. Potential buyers must weigh the benefit of its lightweight build against the 155kg payload limit.
