What defines the Knaus VAN TI 650 MEG?
The Knaus VAN TI 650 MEG is a slimline coachbuilt motorhome designed for manoeuvrability, featuring a 2.2m width and a 6.96m length. It offers a flexible layout with twin fixed rear beds and a large garage, accommodating two to three people within a 3500kg MTPLM.

The Knaus VAN TI 650 MEG occupies a specific niche between traditional campervans and full-sized coachbuilt motorhomes. While alternatives like the Auto-Trail Excel 675 B and Adria Compact Supreme DL offer similar three-berth capacities on 3500kg chassis, the Knaus distinguishes itself with its 2.2m width and specific FoldXPand technology. The Rapido V68 provides a shorter alternative at 6.36m, whereas the Knaus utilizes its 6.96m length to provide a dedicated garage and twin bed layout. Choosing between these models depends on whether the buyer prioritises the Knaus slimline coachbuilt engineering or the different dimensions offered by its competitors.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 630kg payload carefully to maintain the 3500kg MTPLM limit.
- Take advantage of the 2.2m width when navigating routes that are challenging for standard 2.3m wide motorhomes.
- Regularly inspect the GRP roof and woodless body components to maintain the integrity of the winter-ready insulation.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming all 650 MEG models have the same chassis; check for MAN or Fiat specifications.
- Overlooking the narrow aisle width when considering daily movement inside the cabin.
Worth knowing: Always confirm the exact payload of a specific vehicle before adding heavy fixed extras.
