About the Lunar Champ A551
The Lunar Champ A551 is a highly regarded coachbuilt motorhome that strikes a perfect balance between compact external dimensions and a surprisingly generous interior. Often built on the robust Fiat Ducato chassis with either 2.0 or 2.3 JTD engine variants, it is particularly well-suited for the UK's narrower B-roads and coastal routes. Its manageable length makes it an ideal entry point for those new to motorhoming, offering a driving experience that feels more like a large van than a cumbersome bus.
Internally, the A551 excels in layout efficiency. The rear-kitchen design frees up the central living area, creating an open-plan feel that is unusual for a vehicle of this size. The side dinette serves as the social heart of the motorhome, providing a comfortable space for meals that easily converts into a bed, while the permanent over-cab double ensures there is always a dedicated sleeping area ready for use. With its practical washroom and ample storage throughout, the Champ A551 is a versatile companion for both quick weekend escapes and longer continental tours.

Is the Lunar Champ A551 a practical choice for small families?
The Lunar Champ A551 is a compact four berth coachbuilt motorhome that balances manageable external dimensions with a versatile interior layout. Its 5.61m length makes it suitable for navigating narrower roads, while the combination of an over-cab bed and a side dinette provides flexible sleeping arrangements for up to four people.
- Four berth capacity with a permanent over-cab double bed and a convertible side dinette.
- Compact coachbuilt dimensions with a length of 5.61m and width of 2.27m.
- Practical end kitchen layout featuring a three burner hob and grill.
- Built on the Fiat Ducato chassis with 2.0 or 2.3 JTD engine options.
- Substantial payload of 620kg within a 3400kg MTPLM.
Worth knowing: The 2.0 JTD engine variant may feel underpowered on steep inclines when the vehicle is fully laden. Kitchen worktop space is limited due to the compact end kitchen configuration.
Lunar Champ A551 Buying Guide
Who it suits
- • New motorhomers seeking a vehicle that drives more like a large van than a bus.
- • Drivers with a standard Category B licence looking for a lightweight coachbuilt model.
- • Small families or couples who require a dedicated sleeping area without sacrificing the living space.
Reasons to consider it
- • The end kitchen and side dinette layout creates an open plan feel in a vehicle under six metres.
- • A high payload of 620kg allows for significant storage of personal gear and equipment.
- • The 3400kg MTPLM ensures broad licence compatibility for UK drivers.
What to check
- • Test the operation of the electric entry step and the condition of the flyscreens and blinds.
- • Verify the service history of the Fiat Ducato mechanical components.
- • Check the condition of the safety netting on the over-cab double bed.
Worth knowing: External styling is functional and may appear dated compared to modern coachbuilt alternatives. Confirm the specific engine variant, as performance differs between the 2.0 and 2.3 JTD units.
Compare the Lunar Champ A551 with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lunar Champ A551 | 4 | 3400 kg | 5.61 m | £14,500 to £22,000 |
| Compass Drifter 410 | 4 | 3400 kg | 5.95 m | £12,500 to £22,000 |
| Swift Trekker 540 165BHP Auto | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.41 m | £72,000 to £82,000 |
The Lunar Champ A551 occupies a specific niche for those prioritising a compact footprint and high payload. While alternatives like the Compass Drifter 410 offer similar weight specifications at a longer length, the A551 focuses on manoeuvrability. Modern alternatives such as the Swift Trekker range provide updated technology and styling but require a much larger financial investment. The A551 remains a functional choice for those valuing the traditional over-cab layout and Fiat Ducato reliability within a sub-six-metre frame.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Lunar Champ A551 Ownership Tips
- Utilise the 620kg payload carefully to maintain the vehicle's handling characteristics.
- Take advantage of the 3.03m height by using the over-cab area for permanent bedding to keep the dinette clear.
- The 5.61m length is ideal for coastal routes and B-roads where larger motorhomes may struggle.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overlooking the limited kitchen worktop space when planning complex meals.
- • Assuming all models have the same engine; check if it is the 2.0 or 2.3 JTD variant.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact MTPLM and payload for your specific unit before travel.
