Who should consider the Caravelair Antares 420?
Who it suits
- Couples seeking a two-berth caravan with a front lounge, convertible double and separate rear washroom.
- Owners of smaller tow cars who need a recorded MTPLM of 1100 kg, subject to checking the tow car and caravan documents.
- Buyers who value manoeuvrability and a compact footprint over extensive storage or kitchen workspace.
Reasons to consider it
- The 210 kg recorded payload provides a defined allowance for touring equipment, although the actual usable capacity should be checked against the individual caravan documents.
- At 5.95 m long and 2.1 m wide, the Antares 420 is compact relative to larger caravans, which can help with campsite manoeuvring and storage considerations.
- The front lounge gives the two-berth layout a flexible daytime seating area that converts into the sleeping accommodation.
- The recorded equipment includes a rear washroom with integrated shower, Truma heating and hot water, LED interior lighting and an AL-KO chassis.
- The recorded price range is £9500 to £18500, offering a reference point when assessing an individual listing.
What to check
- Verify the actual MTPLM, payload and fitted options from the caravan documentation, rather than relying only on the catalogue figures.
- Check that the tow car is suitable for a caravan with a recorded MTPLM of 1100 kg and confirm the relevant weights before towing.
- Inspect the front-lounge bed conversion, kitchen equipment, rear washroom and shower for condition and operation.
- Assess whether the limited worktop and storage provision suits the intended length of trips and packing needs.
- Measure the available storage and check external locker access, as the editorial record identifies these as compromises of the compact design.
Worth knowing: No production year range is recorded, so condition, specification and pricing may differ between examples. The marketplace currently records no listings for this model, so availability requires checking separately. Specifications can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

The Caravelair Antares 420 occupies a compact two-berth position with a recorded MTPLM of 1100 kg and price range of £9500 to £18500. The Swift Finesse 400 is similar in length but heavier, while the Elddis Xplore XC Duo, Bailey Discovery D4 2 and Swift Sprite Compact offer shorter alternatives with different recorded weights and price ranges.

Ownership points for the Antares 420
- Plan loading around the recorded 210 kg payload and keep a written check of touring equipment, water and other carried items.
- Use the 5.95 m length, 2.1 m width and 2.58 m height when checking storage, access and pitch suitability.
- Practise the front lounge conversion before departure so the two-berth sleeping arrangement can be prepared efficiently.
- Keep kitchen packing restrained because the compact layout has limited worktop space and less storage than larger caravans.
- Check the recorded AL-KO chassis and towing equipment as part of routine pre-departure checks, with any maintenance based on the individual caravan’s documentation and condition.
- Confirm that the rear washroom and integrated shower can be used as intended, particularly after the caravan has been stored or unused.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the 210 kg payload as spare capacity without accounting for everything carried in the caravan.
- Assuming every Antares 420 has identical equipment when specifications may vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
- Overlooking the 2.58 m height when planning storage or access.
Worth knowing: The supplied data does not identify model-year-specific maintenance intervals or known faults. Have the individual caravan and its documents checked before relying on any recorded specification.
