Adria Altea Tamar (542DT): key points
The Adria Altea Tamar (542DT) is a six-berth family caravan with triple bunks, a side dinette, a single axle and a recorded payload of 176 kg. Its 7.25 m length, 2.3 m width and 1,300 kg MTPLM should be checked against the tow car and the specific caravan record.
- Six berths with a triple-bunk rear arrangement for family use.
- Side dinette adds flexible seating and sleeping space.
- Recorded dimensions are 7.25 m long, 2.3 m wide and 2.58 m high.
- Recorded MTPLM is 1,300 kg, with a recorded payload of 176 kg.
- The listed price range is £9,500 to £18,500.
- The washroom and kitchen are functional parts of the layout, but the compact washroom, limited worktop when the hob is in use and absence of a separate shower cubicle on many model years are meaningful compromises.
Worth knowing: Specifications can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment. GVW is not recorded in the supplied data. Confirm the exact equipment, condition, payload calculation and washroom arrangement of any individual caravan.
Who should consider the Adria Altea Tamar (542DT)?
Who it suits
- Families needing six berths and a dedicated triple-bunk arrangement.
- Buyers who want a family layout with a side dinette and a recorded MTPLM of 1,300 kg.
- Owners whose tow car and driving requirements suit a single-axle caravan measuring 7.25 m long and 2.3 m wide.
Reasons to consider it
- The triple bunks provide a clearly defined sleeping area for children.
- The side dinette gives the layout additional seating and sleeping flexibility.
- The recorded 176 kg payload provides a useful basis for checking family loading, subject to confirmation on the individual caravan.
- Its listed price range of £9,500 to £18,500 covers a broad used-market budget.
What to check
- Match the recorded 1,300 kg MTPLM and 176 kg payload to the tow car, caravan plate and actual equipment fitted.
- Measure access and storage arrangements carefully because the caravan is 2.3 m wide and 2.58 m high.
- Check whether the washroom has a separate shower cubicle, as this varies across model years.
- Inspect the kitchen worktop and storage capacity with the three-burner hob in use.
- Confirm that the triple-bunk structure, side dinette conversion and all berths suit the intended family use.
Worth knowing: The supplied data does not identify production years, so age-related equipment and condition require direct confirmation. The price range is recorded for the model, not a guarantee of an individual caravan's value. A tow-rating check remains necessary; the stated MTPLM alone does not establish suitability for a particular car.

The listed alternatives also offer six berths, but each has a higher recorded MTPLM and a different length or price range. The better choice depends on the tow car, required layout, available payload and the condition and specification of the individual caravan.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Adria Altea Tamar (542DT) ownership checks
- Keep a clear record of loaded items against the 176 kg payload, including family equipment and optional accessories.
- Use the caravan's 7.25 m length, 2.3 m width and 2.58 m height when checking storage, access and pitch constraints.
- Plan loading around the triple bunks and side dinette so that sleeping conversion does not obstruct essential family equipment.
- Confirm the plated weights and dimensions before towing, particularly if the caravan has optional equipment or differs from the recorded specification.
- Check the washroom and kitchen layout in its converted and working positions, especially where the hob reduces available worktop.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the six-berth rating as proof that six occupants' belongings will fit within the recorded 176 kg payload.
- Assuming every Altea Tamar (542DT) has the same shower and equipment specification across model years.
- Ignoring the caravan's 2.3 m width and 2.58 m height when planning storage or access.
Worth knowing: No specific recurring faults are supplied, so inspection should focus on the individual caravan rather than assumed model defects. The supplied data does not include a production year or service history.
