Compare the Knaus Südwind 500 EU with similar models
| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knaus Südwind 500 EU | 4 | 1700 kg | 7.31 m | £18,500 to £34,500 |
| Coachman Vip | 4 | 1650 kg | 7.43 m | £18,000 to £39,500 |
| Elddis Crusader Mistral | 4 | 1650 kg | 7.38 m | £18,500 to £38,500 |
The Knaus Südwind 500 EU occupies a premium position in the 4-berth market, distinguished by its 1700kg MTPLM and 310kg payload. When compared to alternatives like the Coachman Vip 565 or Elddis Crusader Mistral, the Knaus is slightly shorter at 7.31m but carries a higher MTPLM than the 1650kg found in those models. While the Sterling Eccles Quartz offers a lower price entry point, the Südwind 500 EU focuses on specific German engineering features such as the Pro.Tec-Frame. The choice between these models often rests on the preference for the Knaus offside door configuration versus the standard UK nearside layout found in the Coachman and Elddis alternatives.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and maintenance for the 500 EU
- Utilise the 7.31m length and 2.32m width to plan storage and pitch suitability.
- Regularly check the AKS stabiliser on the AL-KO chassis for wear.
- Clean the panoramic skylight with non-abrasive materials to maintain natural light levels.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Underestimating the towing requirements for the 1700kg MTPLM.
- • Forgetting the offside door orientation when booking narrow UK pitches.
Worth knowing: Payload limits must be strictly observed when loading the 310kg allowance.
