Knaus Sport 500 EU at a glance
The Knaus Sport 500 EU is a four-berth caravan with twin single beds at the rear, a front dinette, and an end-bedroom layout. It is 7.31 metres long, 2.32 metres wide and 2.57 metres high, with an MTPLM of 1500 kilograms and a stated payload of 275 kilograms.
- Twin longitudinal single beds and fixed single-bed layout details are recorded, with a front seating group that converts into a double bed.
- The recorded equipment includes an AL-KO Euro-Axle chassis with AAA Premium Brakes, a GRP roof, Smart-Block kitchen design, a Dometic refrigerator and integrated LED ambient lighting.
- The listed price range is £16500 to £32000, while the current marketplace record shows no listings and four images.
- Specifications can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment, so individual examples require confirmation.
Worth knowing: The supplied data does not identify a production-year range. The supplied data does not provide a separate gross-vehicle-weight figure beyond the stated MTPLM. The front lounge is described as potentially compact when the table is fully extended, and the European-style door placement is recorded as being on the UK offside.
Who should consider the Knaus Sport 500 EU?
Who it suits
- Couples or small families needing four berths and a twin-single-bed arrangement.
- Buyers whose tow vehicle and storage arrangements can accommodate a caravan measuring 7.31 metres long, 2.32 metres wide and 2.57 metres high.
- Owners who value a 275-kilogram stated payload and a layout combining an end bedroom with a front dinette.
Reasons to consider it
- The twin longitudinal single beds provide separate sleeping spaces, while the front seating group can convert into a double bed.
- The recorded 1500-kilogram MTPLM and 275-kilogram payload provide clear figures for checking towing and loading suitability.
- The equipment list includes the AL-KO Euro-Axle chassis with AAA Premium Brakes, a GRP roof and a kitchen with a 3-burner hob and large drawers.
- The layout combines Twin Bed, Fixed Single Beds, Front Dinette and End Bedroom descriptions in one four-berth caravan.
What to check
- Confirm the specific model year, trim and optional equipment because the recorded specifications may vary.
- Check the tow vehicle against the 1500-kilogram MTPLM and assess the loaded caravan against the 275-kilogram payload.
- Measure the available storage or pitch space against the recorded length, width and height.
- Inspect the twin-bed arrangement, front dinette conversion and washroom in the individual caravan, rather than relying only on the catalogue description.
- Confirm the offside door placement is suitable for the intended use and pitch access.
Worth knowing: The supplied data does not state the unladen weight, noseweight or towball requirements. No current marketplace listings are recorded, so availability and condition cannot be assessed from the supplied marketplace data. The supplied price range should not be treated as a price for a particular year, trim or example.
Compare the Knaus Sport 500 EU with similar models
| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knaus Sport 500 EU | 4 | 1500 kg | 7.31 m | £16,500 to £32,000 |

The Knaus Sport 500 EU sits among four-berth alternatives with broadly comparable lengths and recorded weight figures, but the exact trade-off depends on layout preference, payload, towing limits, price and the specification of the individual caravan. The Sport 500 EU offers a stated 275-kilogram payload and twin single beds, while the alternatives have different recorded dimensions, weight figures and price ranges. No overall winner can be identified from the supplied data alone.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership checks for the Knaus Sport 500 EU
- Before loading, allocate luggage and equipment within the stated 275-kilogram payload and recheck the loaded caravan against the 1500-kilogram MTPLM.
- Use the 7.31-metre length, 2.32-metre width and 2.57-metre height when checking storage, access routes, pitch dimensions and towing clearance.
- Set up sleeping arrangements in advance: the rear twin single beds suit separate sleeping, while the front dinette provides the additional double-bed conversion.
- Check that the offside door position works with the intended pitch layout and access arrangements.
- When buying used, compare the individual caravan’s installed equipment with the recorded specification because trim and optional equipment can vary.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the four-berth rating as four permanently available beds without checking the front dinette conversion.
- Checking only the caravan’s MTPLM and overlooking the stated 275-kilogram payload when adding personal equipment.
- Assuming every Sport 500 EU has identical equipment despite the recorded variation by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Worth knowing: The supplied data does not provide maintenance intervals or model-specific fault patterns. Tyre, brake, damp and appliance checks are not detailed in the supplied evidence and require an inspection appropriate to the individual caravan.
