Hymer Nova Light 470: key facts
The Hymer Nova Light 470 is a three-berth caravan with a transverse-bed, front-dinette and compact-end-washroom layout. Its recorded length is 6.07m, width 2.17m and height 2.57m, with an MTPLM of 1300kg, a recorded payload of 250kg and a stated price range of £16500 to £32000. Specification can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
- The layout combines a transverse bed, front dinette and compact end washroom, with three berths recorded.
- Its compact width of 2.17m is relevant when assessing towing on narrow lanes and storage access.
- The recorded MTPLM is 1300kg and the recorded payload is 250kg, so the loaded caravan, accessories and personal equipment need checking against the applicable limits.
- Recorded dimensions are 6.07m long, 2.17m wide and 2.57m high.
- The marketplace currently records no listings, although five images are recorded for the model page.
Worth knowing: The supplied data does not identify a production year or model-year-specific equipment. The existing editorial mentions features including PUAL construction, a Smart-Tower refrigerator, an AL-KO chassis, a Delta axle and LED mood lighting, but these should be confirmed for the individual caravan before purchase. No gross vehicle weight is recorded separately from the MTPLM.
Who should consider the Hymer Nova Light 470?
Who it suits
- Couples or small touring parties needing three berths and a fixed transverse-bed layout.
- Buyers whose towing and storage plans suit a caravan that is 2.17m wide, 6.07m long and 2.57m high.
- Those prepared to check the recorded 1300kg MTPLM and 250kg payload against their tow car and intended touring load.
Reasons to consider it
- The transverse bed and front dinette provide a defined sleeping area alongside a convertible living space within a three-berth layout.
- Its recorded 2.17m width may be useful for owners concerned about access through narrower routes or storage spaces.
- The 250kg recorded payload provides a clear basis for planning equipment, though the usable allowance must be checked on the specific caravan.
- The stated price range of £16500 to £32000 gives buyers a reference point for comparing asking prices, subject to condition, age and specification.
What to check
- Confirm the exact model year, trim and optional equipment because the supplied source notes that specifications can vary.
- Check the tow car's permitted trailer limits against the caravan's 1300kg MTPLM, rather than relying on the model name alone.
- Measure the intended storage route and pitch access against the recorded 6.07m length, 2.17m width and 2.57m height.
- Establish the actual unladen and laden weights, then calculate how much of the recorded 250kg payload remains after fitted equipment and touring items.
- Inspect the transverse-bed arrangement, front dinette conversion and compact end washroom in person to ensure they suit the occupants.
Worth knowing: The supplied data does not confirm the age, condition or equipment level of any individual example. The three-berth limit may not suit families or groups needing more sleeping capacity. The marketplace records no current listings, so availability and asking prices require separate confirmation.
Compare the Hymer Nova Light 470 with similar models
| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hymer Nova Light 470 | 3 | 1300 kg | 6.07 m | £16,500 to £32,000 |
| Eriba Touring 430 | 3 | 1100 kg | 5.54 m | £14,000 to £32,500 |
| Swift Sprite Alpine 2 | 2 | 1218 kg | 6.05 m | £8,500 to £22,500 |
The Hymer Nova Light 470 sits between the allowed alternatives in capacity and size: it offers three berths, a recorded 6.07m length and 1300kg MTPLM, while alternatives provide either two or four berths, or a shorter or longer recorded body. The right choice depends on whether the transverse-bed layout, three-berth capacity, recorded payload and towing limits match your use. Compare each individual caravan's age, condition, equipment and verified weights before deciding.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership checks for the Nova Light 470
- Plan loading around the recorded 250kg payload, including luggage, water, accessories and any equipment fitted after manufacture.
- Keep the total loaded caravan within the recorded 1300kg MTPLM and confirm the figures from the specific caravan's documentation.
- Use the recorded 2.17m width, 6.07m length and 2.57m height when checking storage, gates, covered spaces and route restrictions.
- Treat the transverse bed, front dinette and compact end washroom as fixed planning constraints when arranging bedding, clothing and washroom items.
- Because the model is recorded as a three-berth caravan, ensure the sleeping arrangement remains suitable for the regular occupants rather than assuming extra capacity.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overlooking the effect of fitted options and touring equipment on the 250kg payload.
- Checking only the caravan's length while failing to allow for its 2.17m width and 2.57m height at storage or access points.
- Assuming all Nova Light 470 examples share identical equipment despite the stated variation by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Worth knowing: The supplied data does not provide a maintenance schedule or model-specific fault pattern. Use the individual caravan's weight plate, documents and measured dimensions where they differ from catalogue records.
