Who should consider the Avondale Argente 550-4S?
Who it suits
- Families seeking four berths, a side dinette that converts to bunk beds and a separate end washroom.
- Buyers whose tow vehicle and licence arrangements can accommodate a caravan with a recorded MTPLM of 1400 kilograms and length of 7.01 metres.
Reasons to consider it
- The layout separates the front lounge from the side-dinette sleeping area and full-width rear washroom.
- The 215-kilogram recorded payload provides a defined allowance for personal equipment, subject to the plate and paperwork on the individual caravan.
- The 2.22-metre recorded width and 2.58-metre height are important planning dimensions for storage, access and towing routes.
- The recorded price range of £4500 to £7500 places this model in a used-caravan buying discussion rather than a new-caravan comparison.
What to check
- Confirm the actual MTPLM, payload and plate details on the caravan, because specifications may vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
- Measure the available bunk width and assess whether it suits the intended occupants, particularly older or larger teenagers.
- Inspect the full-width washroom, circular shower cubicle, heating and water systems, and confirm that the equipment operates as expected.
- Check the condition of the AL-KO chassis, Euro-axle, tyres, bodywork and interior before purchase.
- Verify the towing vehicle against the caravan's recorded dimensions and 1400-kilogram MTPLM using the supplied towing calculator.
Worth knowing: The available evidence does not provide a production-year range, so age and year-specific specification must be confirmed for each example. The listing count is currently zero, so availability and asking prices may not reflect the recorded price range at a particular time.

The Avondale Argente 550-4S combines four berths, a side-dinette bunk layout, an end washroom and a recorded MTPLM of 1400 kilograms. The allowed alternatives cover similar four-berth use but vary in length, weight and recorded price range. The Avondale's recorded £4500 to £7500 range is lower than the alternatives shown, while its no-longer-produced status and the need to verify individual condition remain important considerations. The most suitable choice depends on tow-car limits, sleeping arrangements, storage dimensions, budget and the specification of the particular caravan.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership checks for the Avondale Argente 550-4S
- Use the recorded 7.01-metre length, 2.22-metre width and 2.58-metre height when checking storage, gates, access routes and towing clearances.
- Keep the loaded caravan within its confirmed 1400-kilogram MTPLM and account for the recorded 215-kilogram payload when adding equipment and personal effects.
- Plan loading around the four-berth side-dinette layout so that the convertible bunk area, front lounge and end washroom remain usable.
- Check the single-axle running gear and AL-KO chassis as part of routine inspections, with particular attention to the condition of the individual caravan.
- Test the Truma heating and water system, kitchen appliances and washroom fittings before each extended trip.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the recorded payload as an allowance that can be exceeded after adding accessories or equipment.
- Assuming every Argente 550-4S has identical equipment without checking model-year, trim and optional-equipment differences.
- Overlooking the 2.58-metre height or 2.22-metre width when planning storage and access.
Worth knowing: These are checks based on the supplied dimensions, weight, payload, layout and recorded equipment, not a diagnosis of known faults. The individual caravan's plate, paperwork and condition take priority over catalogue figures.
