Is the Knaus Sport and Fun a practical toy hauler?
The Knaus Sport and Fun is a specialised caravan designed for active users, featuring a rear garage door and a substantial 450kg payload. At 6.7m long, it accommodates 2 to 5 berths through layouts such as dinette conversions and fixed transverse beds. It functions as a robust base camp for transporting bikes or kayaks, with prices typically ranging between £18,000 and £32,000.
- Unique rear garage door for loading large sports equipment.
- High payload capacity of 450kg for heavy gear.
- Compact 6.7m exterior length with a 2.32m width.
- Versatile layouts including dinette conversions and fixed beds.
- Robust chassis designed for toy-hauler functionality.
Worth knowing: The 1700kg MTPLM requires a capable tow vehicle, especially when fully loaded. Interior living space is prioritised for utility rather than traditional luxury. The distinctive exterior styling differs significantly from conventional UK caravans.
Buying a Knaus Sport and Fun
Who it suits
- Cyclists and watersports enthusiasts needing to transport large equipment internally.
- Active families who require a high payload for outdoor gear.
- Tourers seeking a robust, German-built caravan with a non-traditional layout.
Reasons to consider it
- It offers a rare rear-loading capability not found in standard UK caravans.
- The 1700kg MTPLM and 450kg payload allow for significant gear transport.
- Knaus build quality provides a durable platform for year-round active use.
What to check
- Verify the operation of the rear garage door seals and locking mechanism.
- Check the condition of the integrated tie-down points in the storage area.
- Confirm the specific berth configuration, as models range from 2 to 5 berths.
- Inspect the fixed bed and dinette conversion mechanisms for smooth operation.
Worth knowing: Towing stability should be monitored when the 450kg payload is fully utilised. The 2.32m width is standard for modern tourers but requires care on narrow lanes.

| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knaus Sport And Fun | 5 | 1700 kg | 6.70 m | £18,000 to £32,000 |

The Knaus Sport and Fun occupies a niche as a dedicated toy hauler, whereas alternatives like the Adria Adora or Swift Exclusive focus on traditional multi-berth living. While the Sport and Fun offers superior utility for gear transport via its rear door, the Bailey Pegasus Rimini and Coachman Vision provide lighter or more affordable 5-berth options for families who do not require a garage. The choice depends on whether the priority is internal storage volume or conventional lounge comfort.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Owning a Knaus Sport and Fun
- Utilise the 450kg payload by distributing weight evenly over the axle.
- Regularly clean the rear door tracks to ensure the garage remains easy to access.
- Use a towing calculator to verify the match between your car and the 1700kg MTPLM.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Overloading the rear garage without balancing the noseweight.
- Assuming all models have 5 berths; some configurations are limited to 2.
Worth knowing: Always secure heavy items using the integrated tie-down points before transit. Ensure the MTPLM of 1700kg is compatible with your vehicle's towing limit.
