Its compact exterior hides a surprisingly airy interior, thanks to the clever use of light wood tones and large windows that flood the living space with natural light. The build quality emphasizes durability while keeping the overall mass low, making it one of the most accessible options for those new to caravanning or looking to downsize.
Inside, the Antares 406 features a versatile front lounge that easily converts into a comfortable double bed, alongside a well-equipped kitchen and a functional washroom.

Compare the Caravelair Antares 406 with similar models
| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caravelair Antares 406 | 3 | 1000 kg | 5.70 m | £8,500 to £18,500 |
| Bailey Discovery D4 2 | 2 | 995 kg | 5.84 m | £15,500 to £21,500 |
| Sprite Alpine 2 | 2 | 1150 kg | 5.90 m | £8,000 to £25,000 |
The Caravelair Antares 406 occupies a specific niche for those requiring a 1000kg MTPLM caravan with a three-berth capacity. While the Sprite Alpine 2 offers a longer 5.9m body and the Swift Basecamp provides a four-berth alternative at 1100kg, the Antares 406 remains a competitive entry-level choice for its GRP construction and French design efficiency. It balances a 5.7m length with a 2.1m width, making it narrower than many UK-built rivals.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 2.1m width to access narrower country lanes that wider caravans cannot reach.
- Regularly clean the LED lighting fixtures to maintain the bright interior atmosphere.
- Check the AL-KO chassis components annually to ensure continued towing stability.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Exceeding the 133kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories.
- • Attempting complex meal preparation without utilizing the lounge table for extra work surface.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the specific MTPLM on the weight plate as specifications can vary by year.
