Is the Knaus Boxdrive a capable long-distance tourer?
The Knaus Boxdrive is a premium campervan designed for two to four berths, utilising the MAN TGE chassis to provide superior driving assistance and safety. With a length of 6.84 metres and a 3500kg MTPLM, it balances a spacious interior featuring longitudinal or transverse beds with a generous 480kg payload. Its high-grade German construction and Truma Combi heating make it suitable for year-round touring.
- Built on the MAN TGE chassis for enhanced driving dynamics.
- Flexible sleeping for two to four people with optional pop-top roof.
- Available layouts include Transverse Bed and Longitudinal Twin Beds.
- Equipped with a Truma Combi heating system for all-season use.
- Features a rear garage layout suitable for bulky sports equipment.
Worth knowing: The length of the 680 variant can make urban parking difficult. Optional equipment will reduce the available payload capacity. Premium pricing reflects the high-end chassis and German construction.
Buying a Knaus Boxdrive: What you need to know
Who it suits
- • Couples who prioritise driving comfort and high-quality interior finishes.
- • Small families requiring the additional berths provided by the pop-top roof.
- • Active users who need a rear garage for sports equipment.
Reasons to consider it
- • The MAN TGE chassis offers automotive-style driving and safety features.
- • German engineering provides excellent insulation and build durability.
- • Versatile layouts include twin beds and smart storage solutions.
What to check
- • Inspect the kitchen block, including the compressor fridge and hob functionality.
- • Test the integrated shower and cassette toilet in the compact washroom.
- • Review the service history of the MAN TGE chassis and its safety systems.
Worth knowing: Confirm the impact of any fitted accessories on the 480kg payload. Check the specific dimensions of the rear garage if planning to carry large gear. Verify the operation of the optional elevating roof bed if four berths are required.
Compare the Knaus Boxdrive with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knaus Boxdrive | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.84 m | £65,000 to £95,000 |
| Auto-Sleepers ACTIVE FL635 P | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.36 m | £68,000 to £84,500 |
| Volkswagen Grand California | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.84 m | £65,000 to £95,000 |
The Knaus Boxdrive and its competitors, such as the Volkswagen Grand California, both occupy the premium 6.84 metre campervan segment with a 3500kg MTPLM. While the Boxdrive is noted for its MAN TGE chassis and German construction, alternatives like the Auto-Sleepers Fairford offer four berths in a shorter 6.36 metre body. Choosing between them involves weighing the superior driving dynamics of the MAN platform against the easier manoeuvrability of shorter models.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Tips for Knaus Boxdrive owners
- Utilise the rear garage layout to keep the living area clear of bulky gear.
- Regularly check the Truma Combi system to ensure all-season heating performance.
- Monitor the compressor fridge power consumption during off-grid stays.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Underestimating the 6.84 metre length when attempting to park in standard urban spaces.
- • Exceeding the payload by adding heavy optional extras after purchase.
Worth knowing: Ensure the 3500kg MTPLM is not exceeded when fully loaded for off-grid trips. Be mindful of the 2.68 metre height when navigating low bridges or barriers.
