Knaus Van I - more space

Caravanning markets in North America and Europe are very different from each other. Completely different customer expectations and different travel conditions contribute to the shape of the offers of leading manufacturers. In the old continent, campers that provide at least sufficient usable space are the most popular. Basic models, built on the basis of delivery plates, constitute a small part of the total sales. Customers eagerly reach for more extensive integrated motorhomes .

The motorhome can also be liked

We can find such equipment in the catalog of every European manufacturer. For example, the German company Knaus offers us the Van I model . The shapely shape of this motorhome in no place resembles the popular delivery car ( Fiat Ducato ), from which the supporting frame, mechanics and chassis are derived. The large-area windshield attracts attention, as it not only improves visibility while driving - when parked, it perfectly illuminates the interior, making family meetings more enjoyable. Unfortunately - it is positioned almost completely vertically, thus it is exposed to stone impact , which often forces the owner to replace it.

The designers have inserted the headlights into eye-catching tubes , enriching the whole with daytime running lights in LED technology . The white rectangular body traditionally leaves the factory with a complete set of patterned stickers . Interestingly, the side tinted windows are small. Behind the rear axle there is a door leading to a spacious storage room (below the sleeping area), inside it can even fit a few bicycles or other tourist equipment. The motorhome is obligatory on light alloy rims.

please, step inside

There are two doors to the interior. Some are reserved only for the driver, while the other - in the middle of the vehicle - will lead us to the living room. The front seats are equipped with two independent armrests, which can be turned in the blink of an eye towards a rectangular table (we can enlarge it if necessary). Right behind the table there is a double sofa with seat belts and headrests (the motorhome is adapted to transport four people ). In the night configuration , a double bed appears in place of the table .

Bathroom, kitchen and bedroom

Right behind the sofa, the designers "put in" a bathroom - it was equipped with a shower cubicle, a chemical toilet, a washbasin and numerous cabinets . One person can fit inside it. There is a well-equipped kitchenette on the opposite wall. The manufacturer has put at our disposal a three-burner gas stove, a single-chamber sink - the whole can be covered with glass covers at any time. Below, apart from spacious cabinets, a refrigerator is mounted. As in every motorhome - at the very end of the interior there is plenty of space for a double bed and a tall built- in wardrobe .

By investing nearly PLN 290,000, we can become the owners of one of the most interesting campers on the market. Proven Fiat drive units (2.3-3.0 Multijet) in combination with a spacious and functional interior will be appreciated in all conditions, even with a full set of passengers on board.
