Is the Knaus VAN TI 640 MEG a practical slimline motorhome?
The Knaus VAN TI 640 MEG is a slimline coachbuilt motorhome built on the MAN TGE chassis, measuring 6.89m in length and just 2.2m in width. It features a twin single bed layout and a 3500kg MTPLM, offering a car-like driving experience with a 520kg payload capacity. It is designed for those seeking the agility of a smaller vehicle without losing the amenities of a permanent rear bedroom and garage.
- Slimline 2.2m exterior width designed for easier navigation of narrow routes.
- MAN TGE chassis featuring advanced driver assistance systems.
- Twin longitudinal rear beds with EvoPore HRC mattresses and conversion to a transverse double.
- FoldXpand rear wall technology to maximise internal living length.
- Large rear garage with dual access points for outdoor equipment.
Worth knowing: The narrow body design results in less hallway space than standard coachbuilt models. The 3500kg MTPLM requires careful monitoring of the 520kg payload when fully loaded.
Buying a Knaus VAN TI 640 MEG
Who it suits
- Couples seeking a high-end, narrow-bodied motorhome for long-distance touring.
- Drivers who prefer the automotive handling and visibility of a 2.2m wide vehicle.
Reasons to consider it
- High payload capacity of 520kg for a premium coachbuilt vehicle.
- Year-round touring capability due to insulation and heating specifications.
- Intelligent space-saving features like the CI-Bus system and pivoting washroom wall.
What to check
- Verify the specific driver assistance systems included on the MAN TGE chassis.
- Confirm the operation of the swivel-wall bathroom and soft-close kitchen drawers.
- Check the dual access points of the rear garage for compatibility with your gear.
- Inspect the FoldXpand rear wall for any signs of damage or wear.
Worth knowing: The 2-berth focus with an optional 3rd berth makes it less suitable for larger families. The premium MAN chassis and German construction are reflected in the price range of 65000 to 88000.

The Knaus VAN TI 640 MEG sits in a competitive segment alongside models like the Hymer ML-T and Auto-Trail EXCEL 675 B. While it shares the 3500kg MTPLM common to this class, its 2.2m width and MAN TGE chassis distinguish it from wider coachbuilt alternatives. It offers a higher payload than some competitors but focuses primarily on a 2-berth or 3-berth configuration, whereas some alternatives provide 4 berths within a similar length.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Knaus VAN TI 640 MEG Ownership Tips
- Utilise the CI-Bus system to centrally monitor habitation functions and battery levels.
- Make use of the twin bed conversion to create a large transverse double when extra sleeping space is required.
- Regularly check the seals on the dual-access garage doors to maintain weatherproofing.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Exceeding the 3500kg MTPLM by over-loading the large rear garage.
- Assuming standard hallway width in a slimline 2.2m coachbuilt.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact payload of a specific unit as optional equipment will reduce the 520kg allowance.
