Does anyone know if the weight of the spare wheel is included in the MIRO, we have a 2015 Lunar Stellar and in the handbook it tells me the weight 17.5 kgs but is unclear wether it is included in the MIRO.

    From everything I have ever read, NO.  Neither is a motor-mover, if fitted.

    Traditionally, a battery was not even included! ....or a gas cylinder.  This may have changed for more recent 'vans, and I'm sure someone will fill in the latest details.

    Only standard ex works fitments are included, but no factory fitted options and nothing that the dealer or the owner may have added (except the said gas cylinder and 5kg for the EHU cable).

    I believe that when I enquired of Swift it was included as a factory fit

    From my 2012 Lunar handbook.

    Mass in Running Order includes:

    6Kg Hook-up cable

    1Kg Winding handle

    16Kg gas bottles

    10Kg water in heater

    2Kg toilet water

    Anything else comes out of the user payload.

    As the spare wheel and carrier are part of the caravan specification I would have thought they were included, the things listed by D Miller are loose items and the gas bottles are not even supplied with the caravan. Possibly the best bet is to ask Lunar though.

    You may find the National Caravan Council paper useful, for all NCC approved touring 'vans since June 2010 - see

    Some odd inclusions and exclusions in the various payload and allowance categories, but there you go.

    Everything that forms part of the standard spec of the van is in the MIRO, so unless you ordered the spare as an optional extra, it will be in the weight.

    Loose items supplied are also included, in our case the step, a waste water container, the EHU cable, the winding tool and the water uptake pipe.

    I believe an allowance of 10kg for gas is also made.
