Is the Lunar Champ a practical choice for touring?
The Lunar Champ is a versatile motorhome range designed for couples and small families, offering between two and four berths. Built on Ford Transit or Fiat Ducato chassis, it combines a manageable six metre length with a 3500kg MTPLM. With prices ranging from 18000 to 40000, it provides a balance of essential amenities including integrated washrooms and functional kitchens within a compact footprint.
- Choice of two to four berths depending on the specific layout configuration.
- Standard MTPLM of 3500kg allows for operation on a standard UK driving licence.
- Compact external dimensions with a length of six metres and width of 2.25 metres.
- Generous payload of 700kg for equipment and personal belongings.
- Available layouts include French beds, overcab beds, and dinette conversions.
Worth knowing: Payload capacity can vary between specific models and requires careful packing. Older versions may lack contemporary infotainment systems or safety features. Interior living space may feel restricted for larger families during extended trips.
Buying a Lunar Champ: What you need to know

Reasons to consider it
- The 3500kg MTPLM makes it accessible to most UK drivers without additional testing.
- A 700kg payload offers significant flexibility for carrying touring gear.
- Compact 2.25 metre width is well-suited for navigating narrower country roads.
What to check
- Verify the specific layout as options include French beds and overcab beds.
- Confirm the operation of the heating and hot water systems.
- Check the condition of the integrated washroom and shower facilities.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lunar Champ | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.00 m | £18,000 to £40,000 |

The Lunar Champ sits in a competitive segment alongside models like the Elddis Autoquest 150 and Autocruise Starfire. While the Champ offers a lower entry price of 18000 and a significant 700kg payload, its alternatives often provide different length options or higher maximum price points. All these models share the 3500kg MTPLM standard, making the choice dependent on specific layout preferences such as the Champ's French bed or overcab configurations versus the interior finishes of its rivals.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Tips for Lunar Champ owners
- Utilise the 700kg payload to distribute weight evenly across the six metre chassis.
- Make use of the overcab or fixed bed areas to keep the dinette clear for daytime use.
- Regularly service the Ford or Fiat chassis at authorised centres to maintain reliability.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 700kg payload by failing to account for the weight of water and gas.
- Assuming all models have four berths when some configurations are limited to two.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact MTPLM and payload for your specific vehicle before travel. Interior space is optimised for the 2.25 metre width, which may feel snug for some users.
