Caravelair Antares 455 at a glance
The Caravelair Antares 455 is a four-berth, single-axle caravan with a fixed French bed and corner washroom. Its 1100kg MTPLM, compact 6.4m length and 2.1m width make towing weight a central consideration, while the 183kg payload requires careful loading.
- Four berths with a fixed French bed and a front lounge that converts into sleeping accommodation.
- Single-axle layout measuring 6.4m long, 2.1m wide and 2.58m high.
- 1100kg MTPLM and 183kg payload, subject to confirmation for the specific caravan and equipment fitted.
- Corner washroom and side kitchen layout, with the available working space requiring inspection.
- Recorded price range from £9500 to £19500, with condition, specification and model year affecting any individual example.
Worth knowing: Specifications can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment. The supplied data records no production-year range, so the age of an individual caravan should be confirmed. The supplied data gives an MTPLM and payload, but no GVW figure. Verify the relevant weight plate and documentation.
Who should consider the Caravelair Antares 455?
Who it suits
- Couples who want a fixed French bed while retaining four-berth flexibility.
- Small families who can work within the compact corner washroom, side kitchen and modest payload.
- Towers whose car and legal towing limits are compatible with the caravan’s 1100kg MTPLM.
Reasons to consider it
- The fixed French bed avoids converting the main sleeping area each evening.
- The four-berth layout combines a dedicated bed with a front lounge that can provide further sleeping accommodation.
- Its 6.4m length and 2.1m width offer a relatively compact footprint for a caravan with this layout.
- The 183kg payload provides useful carrying capacity, provided occupants load carefully and account for optional equipment.
What to check
- Confirm the specific caravan’s weight plate, MTPLM, payload and fitted options before purchase.
- Inspect the fixed French bed, front lounge conversion, corner washroom and side kitchen for condition and usability.
- Check that the tow vehicle is suitable for the 1100kg MTPLM and that the combined legal limits are satisfied.
- Measure storage needs against the four-berth layout and the caravan’s 2.1m width, particularly if regular touring involves carrying substantial equipment.
Worth knowing: The supplied evidence does not establish a production year or a particular trim level. No current marketplace listings are recorded, so availability and individual condition cannot be inferred. The recorded price range is a guide to the model data, not a valuation of a specific caravan.

The Caravelair Antares 455 is distinguished by its recorded 1100kg MTPLM, fixed French bed and compact four-berth layout. The listed alternatives generally have higher recorded MTPLMs, while the Swift Archway Sport is shorter and the Bailey Pegasus Genoa is close in length. The right choice depends on towing capacity, payload needs, layout preference, individual condition and the verified specification of the caravan being considered.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership checks for the Antares 455
- Keep a written payload allowance for passengers, gas, water, leisure equipment and optional fittings, because the recorded payload is 183kg.
- Use the caravan’s 6.4m length, 2.1m width and 2.58m height when checking storage, access and towing-route restrictions.
- Recheck the weight plate and paperwork if equipment is added, since the 1100kg MTPLM leaves limited scope for unplanned loading.
- Practise the front lounge conversion before touring so the four-berth arrangement works for the intended occupants.
- Review the fixed French bed and corner washroom layout against the users’ height and daily routines before committing to ownership.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the 183kg payload as spare luggage capacity without accounting for fitted options and touring equipment.
- Assuming every Antares 455 has identical specification without checking the individual caravan’s model year, trim and equipment.
- Selecting a tow vehicle without checking compatibility with the 1100kg MTPLM and the relevant legal limits.
Worth knowing: These are verification and use checks based on the supplied dimensions, weights, berths and layout, not claims of known faults. The supplied data does not identify a production year, so age-related checks should be tailored to the individual caravan.
