Brock Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Lunar ceased making motorhomes in 2008 so yours would have been one of the last built. It did start building them again in 2013 but it remains primarily a caravan manufacturer. It has also dabbled in 'badged' engineering having some motorhomes built in Belgium [Home Car/Champs] until that firm went bust. Have a look of this tale of woe which suggests your Pinnacle was built in the UK. Lunar has an owners club so you could try there for more information. http://forums.motorhomefacts.com/67-lunar-motorhomes/42607-lunar-motorhome-made-lunar-caravans.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 This 2008 MotorHomeFun thread https://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/lunar-lunarcy.7699/ suggests that the “Pinnacle” range was built in Belgium (by the company producing “Home-Car” motorhomes) and then marketed in the UK via Lunar dealerships. My understanding is that Lunar had a management buyout in 2007 that (one might think) would have severed ties with the Belgium company (“Chateau”) that had owned Lunar (and the “Home-Car” brand). However, the Ford Transit-based “Pinnacle” models (see following links) https://www.gumtree.com/p/campervans-motorhomes/lunar-pinnacle-gt-rl-2008-2-berth-ford-2.2-tdci-u-shaped-lounge-awning-vgc/1298144293 https://www.caravanguard.co.uk/news/lunar-pinnacle-rk-motorhome-405/ certainly look similar to Home-Car equivalents that were being marketed in Continental-Europe then and - to the best of my knowledge - no UK motorhome manufacturer ever built coachbuilt models on a front-wheel-drive Transit base. Results of a GOOGLE-search here https://tinyurl.com/y6unje6y Lunar and Chateau/Home-car were having a financial tough time when the “Pinnacle” range was being marketed and I’m guessing that the number of “Pinnacle” sales was very modest.
