A lightweight transverse island bed caravan with dealer-special upgrades.
The Lunar Ultima 554 is a single-axle, four-berth caravan measuring 7.37 metres in length. Built on the Quasar platform, this dealer-special model is distinguished by its transverse island bed and full-width rear washroom. It is noted for its low MTPLM of 1420kg, making it accessible to a broader range of tow cars than many fixed-bed alternatives. Standard equipment includes the Truma Combi heating system, AL-KO ATC, and a Thetford Aspire 2 oven.
- Transverse island bed layout with dual-side access and day/night flexibility.
- Full-width rear washroom featuring a separate walk-in shower.
- Lightweight construction with an MTPLM of 1420kg and a 155kg payload.
- High-specification dealer-special features including the Skyview sunroof and ATC.
Worth knowing: Lunar is no longer in production, which may affect the sourcing of specific exterior body panels. The island bed configuration reduces available floor space in the mid-section when fully extended.
Buying a Lunar Ultima 554
Who it suits
- Couples seeking a dedicated bedroom area with a hotel-style transverse bed.

- Tourers who prioritise natural light, provided by the panoramic Skyview sunroof.
Reasons to consider it
- It offers a high specification-to-weight ratio with a 155kg payload.
- The layout provides a clear walkway to the rear washroom, which doubles as a changing area.

What to check
- Verify the operation of the Truma Combi heating and digital CP plus control.
- Inspect the condition of the bespoke Ultima upholstery and soft furnishings.

Compare the Lunar Ultima 554 with similar models
| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lunar Ultima 554 | 4 | 1420 kg | 7.37 m | £13,500 to £18,500 |
| Lunar Clubman Es | 4 | 1450 kg | 7.30 m | £13,000 to £28,000 |
| Swift Challenger 560 | 4 | 1480 kg | 7.30 m | £16,000 to £34,000 |
The Lunar Ultima 554 occupies a specific niche for those requiring a 7.37 metre transverse island bed layout while keeping the MTPLM at 1420kg. In comparison, alternatives like the Bailey Unicorn Valencia or Swift Challenger 560 offer similar four-berth capacities and lengths but typically carry higher MTPLMs of 1480kg to 1498kg. While the Ultima 554 provides a weight advantage and unique dealer-special styling, buyers must weigh this against the fact that Lunar is no longer in production, whereas brands like Swift and Bailey continue to manufacture parts.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance
- Utilise the 155kg payload carefully to maintain the stability provided by the AL-KO AKS stabiliser.
- Ensure the Skyview sunroof seals are inspected regularly to protect the interior cabinetry.
- Use the 7.37 metre length as a guide when booking pitches to ensure adequate space for the single-axle chassis.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the 155kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories.
- Neglecting to retract the island bed to 'day mode' when maximum floor space is required.
Worth knowing: The 2.21 metre width is narrower than some modern luxury caravans, which aids towing on smaller roads but affects internal volume.
