Is the Knaus Van Ti a practical choice for UK touring?
The Knaus Van Ti is a compact semi-integrated motorhome designed for agility without sacrificing build quality. With a width of 2.2m and a length of 6.44m, it is narrower than standard coachbuilt vehicles, making it suitable for rural UK lanes. It offers between 2 and 4 berths and features a high 710kg payload, supported by German engineering and a choice of MAN or Fiat chassis.
- Compact 2.2m external width for easier handling on narrow roads.
- FoldXpand rear wall technology to increase internal living space.
- High payload capacity of 710kg for equipment and supplies.
- Choice of MAN TGE or Fiat Ducato base vehicles.
- All-season capability with Truma Combi heating and GRP hail protection.
Worth knowing: The narrow body design results in a slimmer aisle and lounge area. Internal storage may be restricted for larger families. Pricing is positioned at a premium level compared to entry-level models.
Buying a Knaus Van Ti: What you need to know
Who it suits
- Couples who require a high payload and agile handling for remote touring.
- Small families who prioritse German build quality and winter insulation.
- Drivers who prefer a narrower vehicle for navigating confined urban or rural environments.
Reasons to consider it
- The 710kg payload is exceptional for a 3500kg MTPLM motorhome.
- FoldXpand technology provides more interior room than the external footprint suggests.
- Excellent insulation and Truma Combi heating allow for year-round use.
What to check
- Confirm the specific layout type, such as Twin Single Beds or Transverse Bed.
- Inspect the FoldXpand rear wall for any signs of damage or wear.
- Verify the operation of the 2-burner cooker and large fridge in the kitchen.
- Check the condition of the EvoPore HRC mattress for sleeping comfort.
Worth knowing: Check the specific layout as aisle width is reduced by the 2.2m external profile. Verify the exact base vehicle as specifications vary between MAN and Fiat versions.
Compare the Knaus Van Ti with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knaus Van Ti | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.44 m | £45,000 to £85,000 |
| Auto-Sleepers Broadway Fb | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.30 m | £45,000 to £85,000 |
| Benimar Tessoro T413 | 4 | 3500 kg | 6.41 m | £48,000 to £72,000 |
The Knaus Van Ti occupies a specific niche, offering a narrower 2.2m body that is easier to drive than the 2.3m+ widths found on many competitors like the Benimar Tessoro T487. While it shares a 3500kg MTPLM with alternatives such as the Auto-Sleepers Broadway, its focus on FoldXpand technology and a 710kg payload distinguishes it for users who carry significant gear. The choice between this and its rivals often depends on whether the driver prioritises the slim 'Van' class exterior over the wider lounge areas found in traditional coachbuilt models.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Tips for Knaus Van Ti owners
- Utilise the 710kg payload to carry winter gear, taking advantage of the Truma Combi heating.
- Make use of the garage layout for secure storage of outdoor equipment.
- Regularly inspect the GRP roof to ensure continued hail protection.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming all models have the same bed configuration; layouts include Fixed Rear, Twin, and Transverse options.
- Overlooking the height of 2.76m when navigating low-clearance areas.
Worth knowing: The narrow body requires careful planning of interior movement when 4 people are aboard. Payload must be distributed correctly to maintain the stability of the 6.44m chassis.
