    Rear Island Bed Motorhomes

    Last updated: 01 August 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    Is the Knaus L!VE WAVE a practical family motorhome?

    The Knaus L!VE WAVE is a versatile semi-integrated motorhome designed for families, offering between four and six berths. It combines a low-profile aerodynamic exterior with a standard longitudinal drop-down bed, allowing for a spacious lounge during the day. With a length of 6.98 metres and a 3500kg MTPLM, it provides a payload of 520kg and features a large rear garage with dual-side access.

    • Standard integrated longitudinal drop-down bed for flexible sleeping arrangements.
    • Available layouts including French Bed, Transverse Bed, Twin Beds, and Large Garage options.
    • KNAUS ServiceBox provides centralised external access to water and electricity connections.
    • Large rear garage featuring dual-side access for efficient loading of outdoor equipment.
    • Ergonomic kitchen area equipped with a high-performance 3-burner hob.

    Worth knowing: The 3500kg MTPLM may require careful payload management when travelling with six passengers. Access to the lounge area is restricted when the drop-down bed is in use. Pricing reflects a premium build quality compared to entry-level coachbuilt models.

    Buying a Knaus L!VE WAVE

    Who it suits

    • • Families requiring up to six berths who prefer the driving dynamics of a semi-integrated model.
    • • Active owners who need a large garage with dual-side access for bulky gear.
    • • Drivers looking for a 3500kg MTPLM vehicle that can be driven on a standard UK licence.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • High-quality German construction with durable cabinetry and energy-efficient LED lighting.
    • • Aerodynamic low-profile design which can offer better fuel efficiency than traditional overcab models.
    • • Centralised utility management via the KNAUS ServiceBox.

    What to check

    • • Verify the specific layout as options include Twin Beds, French Bed, and Transverse Bed configurations.
    • • Confirm the number of belted travel seats, which can reach six in selected layouts.
    • • Inspect the operation of the longitudinal drop-down bed to ensure it meets your accessibility needs.

    Worth knowing: Payload capacity should be monitored closely if the maximum of six belted seats are occupied. The price range of 62000 to 88000 reflects the high-end German engineering and standard features.

    Compare the Knaus L!VE WAVE The versatile model with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Knaus L!VE WAVE The versatile model63500 kg6.98 m£62,000 to £88,000
    Itineo SBD700 140BHP Auto63500 kg6.99 m£68,000 to £84,500
    Bailey Adamo63500 kg7.49 m£58,000 to £82,000

    The Knaus L!VE WAVE occupies a specific niche by offering up to six berths within a 6.98 metre semi-integrated body. While alternatives like the Swift Voyager and Bailey Adamo also provide six berths on a 3500kg chassis, the Knaus distinguishes itself with its longitudinal drop-down bed and centralised ServiceBox. The choice between these models often depends on the preference for specific internal layouts, such as the Knaus Twin Bed or French Bed options, versus the different lengths and price points offered by its competitors.

    Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

    Ownership and Maintenance

    • Utilise the KNAUS ServiceBox for easy winterisation and water system maintenance.
    • Make use of the fold-out television bracket to optimise space in the lounge area.
    • Regularly check the seals on the dual-side garage doors to maintain the integrity of the storage space.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Overloading the rear garage without considering the impact on the 3500kg MTPLM.
    • • Assuming all layouts include six belted seats; some configurations may offer fewer.

    Worth knowing: The 520kg payload must account for all passengers, water, and additional equipment.
