|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knaus Südwind 450 FU | 4 | 1500 kg | 6.66 m | £14,500 to £32,000 |
| Elddis Riva Gold | 4 | 1450 kg | 6.50 m | £17,000 to £32,000 |
| Swift Freestyle S4 FB | 4 | 1350 kg | 6.45 m | £14,500 to £24,500 |

While the Knaus offers a 1500kg MTPLM and a 270kg payload, alternatives like the Swift Challenger 480 provide a lighter 1300kg MTPLM for those with lower towing limits. The Knaus is distinguished by its specific German design language and GRP roof, whereas UK-built alternatives often feature near-side habitation doors.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the U-shaped lounge for dining to keep the French bed area dedicated to rest.
- Regularly clean the GRP roof to maintain its protective properties.
- Make use of the 270kg payload to store heavier items over the axle for stability.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overloading the 270kg payload by not accounting for optional equipment weight.
- • Neglecting to check the clearance for the off-side habitation door in tight pitches.
Worth knowing: The 2.32 metre width is wider than some entry-level compact caravans. Ensure your tow vehicle is compatible with the 1500kg MTPLM.
