Introducing Venus Caravans… the new lightweight tourers from Lunar

by Chris Jefferies
Lunar Caravans has announced plans to launch the UK’s lightest range of tourers under a brand new name – Venus Caravans.
Weights in the new compact range are expected to start from under 900kg, meaning that a Venus caravan can be towed by almost any family car.
By comparison, a Lunar Ariva weighs in at 995kg, but the company is keen to stress that Venus is a completely new brand that has been designed from the ground up.
Due for launch at the Motorhome, Caravan and Camping Show 2012 at the London Excel Centre, the Venus Caravans range will include four single-axle layouts, ranging from two to four berths, with fixed beds in the larger models.
The company adds that these models have been designed to satisfy the needs of caravanners who want a compact, lightweight caravan that is great for a short breaks and longer touring holidays.
Martin Henderson, Sales and Marketing Director at Venus Caravans, said: “There has been a substantial growth in the popularity of two-berth and fixed bed caravans that are affordable, compact, and lightweight.
“We are, therefore, extremely excited to put 40 years of expertise into this new caravan brand. We are confident that Venus Caravans will be the lightest, most compact and most practical value for money caravans available in the market place.”
Further details and pictures are yet to come, but if you want to look around these new lightweight tourers for yourself, be sure to head along to the Excel Centre in London’s Docklands between February 14th and 19th.
