Knaus Eurostar

Knaus Eurostar – main image

A streamlined front, a dynamic rear with sharply cut lights and an aluminum strip, and a gray print on the side wall - all this makes the Knaus Eurostar caravan look very modern (the manufacturer even describes it as "3D optics"). Black lacquered alloy wheels can also be liked.

Through the shower tray to the wash basin

The Eurostar comes in three varieties, each 2.5 meters wide.

The 500 EU model was created with five passengers in mind. The total length of this caravan is 808 cm, but inside it is only 532 cm (the so-called effective length). The internal height is 196 cm. The trailer with its equipment weighs 1730 kg, and its permissible total weight is 2000 kg.

This model has three beds - two single beds, placed permanently on both sides of the caravan, and one fold-out bed, designed for up to three people. The two sleeping areas can be separated by a fabric curtain.

The kitchen area is slightly bent, but it is not an L-shaped arrangement. The burners of the gas cooker are arranged in series. The manufacturer did not include a refrigerator on the catalog plan of the 500 EU model.

There is a lockable bathroom on the opposite side of the kitchen. Unfortunately, there is a problem with it. Well, using not only the toilet seat, but also the washbasin requires ... access to the shower tray. In a modern caravan of this class, this should be considered a serious drawback.

Better use was made of the space in the 500 FU model, which can accommodate up to four people and is the same size as the EU. In the bathroom you have to walk through the paddling pool to get to the sitting area, but at least you don't have to wet your feet to wash your hands. In the kitchen there is space for a 108-liter fridge.

The most comfortable, however, is in the trailer marked with the 590 FUS symbol, which indicates the available interior length. The total length is 866 cm. In this model, the toilet part is also not impressive, but the L-shaped kitchen is worth appreciating. It's a pity that one of the beds has a large indentation, which may turn out to be inconvenient.

Lots of windows and lights

The manufacturer decided to use the possibilities offered by both the floor and the ceiling. The multifunctional floor hides electrical appliances and a 45-liter clean water tank. In the roof, on the other hand, there can be a window, air conditioning, lighting, and a TV set.

The materials used inside the trailer seem to be of good quality, and the upholstery is made of hypoallergenic fabrics. The ceiling lamp in the form of a wide rim makes an impression. As standard, we will receive three roof vents (40x40 cm) with a mosquito net and double heat insulating windows with a mosquito net and a roller shutter. The trailer will also have a separate space for two 11-liter gas cylinders.

In addition, as standard, we can expect various types of LED lighting, including dimmable lights, Truma S 5004 heating system with a 12V blower, a boiler with a capacity of 5 liters and sewage system (central drainage of dirty water under the trailer). Unfortunately, there is no waste water tank.

To sum up, the Knaus Eurostar is a caravan that promises a bit more with its appearance than we can find in it. The inconvenient bathroom layout or the lack of a standard sewage tank are among the inconveniences that undermine the high class of the caravan. For whom, however, this is not a problem, in all other respects will receive a trailer worth attention.
