May 27, 2025

To change the rear side light bulb (red/white) on a Lunar Venus 540 (2016), follow these steps:

1. Ensure the caravan is safely parked and power is off.
2. Locate the rear side light unit.
3. Open or remove the light cover to access the bulb (method may vary by unit design).
4. Remove the existing bulb, which is a 5W, 12V bulb.
5. Insert a new 5W, 12V bulb of the same type.
6. Refit the light cover securely.
7. Test the light to ensure it works properly.

Always handle bulbs with care and avoid touching the glass with bare hands.

The taps and the toilet flush don’t work. The water pump is switched on and the number one fuse has not blown. What is wrong?

1 comments:

Mr. Anderson

May 9, 2025

If the taps and toilet flush in a Lunar Caravan do not work despite the water pump being on and the number one fuse not blown, possible issues could include:

- Air trapped in the water system
- Faulty tap microswitches not activating the pump
- Wiring connections being loose or cut during pump replacement
- A faulty pressure switch
- Blockage in water lines

Even if the pump runs, if switches or wiring are faulty, the system may not activate properly.
