It would.
I'm now retired, and on my own, and I want to explore spontaneously. A
trailer caravan isn't practical. I want a bit more comfort and
convenience than a tent.

More or less what I'm looking for. The Lunar is based on a slightly
larger vehicle, but still 'car sized' - and low enough to get into
multi-story car-parks. In 'car' mode it has 4 proper seats, each with a
door, so I'm hoping that it will be acceptable as an 'only vehicle'.

Cross-posted and Followup set; perhaps we can get some life back into

You never know - the groups might pick up towards the beginning of the
season. Incidentally, was that the February NEC show, you saw the
Lunar at? I've just had a mail shot from the Camping and Caravanning
Club advertising it. I usually go along, although I must admit it was
a lot more interesting when it included the boats as well. Which
reminds me, I must put up some details of a new show which may well be
of interest to readers of this, and the other camping/outdoorsy
groups. I'll just dig out the details and start another thread.
