A compact 5.41m motorhome with a 700kg payload.
The Knaus Boxtime is a compact motorhome measuring 5.41m in length and 2.05m in width, designed for agility. It offers a significant 700kg payload and a 3500kg MTPLM, making it accessible for most drivers. With berths ranging from 2 to 4, it features layouts such as fixed rear beds and optional pop-top roofs, catering to couples or small families seeking a nimble touring base.
- Compact 5.41m length for easier navigation of narrow lanes.
- Generous 700kg payload capacity for equipment and supplies.
- Flexible sleeping for 2 to 4 people depending on the specific variant.
- Standard 3500kg MTPLM suitable for standard UK driving licences.
- Layout options including fixed rear beds and pop-top roof configurations.
Worth knowing: External storage is more restricted than in larger coachbuilt motorhomes. The internal living space may feel constrained for 4 occupants on long tours. Resale values are sensitive to the specific layout and maintenance history.
Buying a Knaus Boxtime: Key Considerations
Who it suits
- Couples seeking a 5.41m vehicle that is easy to park and drive.
- Small families who require up to 4 berths in a compact footprint.
- Tourers who need a high 700kg payload for heavy outdoor gear.
Reasons to consider it
- The 2.05m width and 5.41m length offer van-like manoeuvrability.
- Knaus build quality provides a robust and durable living environment.
- The 3500kg MTPLM avoids the need for C1 licence categories.
What to check
- Verify the exact berth count and layout, as these range from 2 to 4.
- Inspect the condition of the integrated washroom and kitchen appliances.
- Confirm the presence of all-season insulation for year-round use.
Worth knowing: Confirm the specific bed configuration as layouts vary between fixed beds and dinette conversions. Check if the pop-top roof is fitted if 4 berths are required.
Compare the Knaus Boxtime with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knaus Boxtime | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.41 m | £38,000 to £65,000 |
| Auto-Trail Expedition 67 140BHP Auto | 4 | 3500 kg | 5.99 m | £48,000 to £62,000 |
| Elddis Accordo | 4 | 3300 kg | 5.99 m | £38,000 to £68,000 |
The Knaus Boxtime occupies a specific niche for those prioritising a 5.41m length without sacrificing a 700kg payload. While alternatives like the Elddis Accordo or Auto-Trail Expedition 67 offer 4 berths in a longer 5.99m body, the Boxtime remains focused on agility. The Swift Trekker 540 matches its length but at a significantly higher price point, making the Boxtime a mid-range option for those balancing compact dimensions with Knaus construction standards.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Managing your Knaus Boxtime
- Utilise the 700kg payload to distribute weight evenly across the 5.41m chassis.
- Regularly check the seals on the fixed rear bed area to maintain the Knaus build integrity.
- Monitor the 3500kg MTPLM when adding heavy aftermarket accessories.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming all models have 4 berths; some variants are strictly 2-berth.
- Overlooking the impact of the pop-top roof on insulation performance in winter.
Worth knowing: Payload capacity of 700kg must include all passengers and water. Height of 2.65m should be noted for restricted car parks and bridges.
