VENUS 570 (2017)

Andrew Jenkinson finds lots to like about the lightweight 2017 Venus 570
-
VENUS WAS ONE of the most popular entry-level ranges in the UK, beaten only by Sprite.
Venus was launched at the Excel Caravan Show in 2012.
The range didn't quite hit its target until its profile was revamped along with its interior for 2015. Over the years Lunar had produced various entrylevel ranges, but Venus was by far the most successful.
Build quality and damp were problems in some early Venus models. A bigger spec pack was introduced and the 2015 range was much improved.
Smarter interiors and exteriors gave the Venus extra kudos and demand rose.
The Venus range also included some novel family layouts and value for money options.
Model history
Venus was launched as a lightweight, well-equipped, entry-level range of tourers in 2012. It had just a few layouts but after its 2015 makeover Venus became a best seller for parent company Lunar.

BEST 4-BERTH CARAVAN - Bailey Phoenix Black Edition 640
