Less weight, full payload
At KNAUS, less weight means more payload, better efficiency and enhanced driving stability – delivering tangible benefits in both quality and comfort. LightWeight Technology enables more relaxed travel with greater freedom and fewer compromises.
- Weight: The innovative LightWeight Technology reduces the vehicle’s weight, which in turn reduces fuel consumption, increases payload and improves handling.
- More than 20 kg saved compared with a conventional front‐end construction: The use of innovative lightweight materials replaces traditional components with smart solutions – for increased payload, better handling and improved efficiency on every journey.
- 100% recyclable materials: This technology is as intelligent as it is responsible – conserving resources, closing the material loop and enabling more sustainable caravanning.
- Highly impact‐resistant and energy‐absorbing: The closed‐cell material effectively absorbs shocks, reduces vibrations and protects furniture and structures – for greater safety and durability in everyday use.
More space, more possibilities
Innovative materials offer more room and greater comfort. Compact components and flexible design options provide improved freedom of movement, clever details and a noticeably more spacious feel throughout the vehicle.
- Noticeably more headroom with the same interior volume: The overhead cupboards make optimal use of the available space. Slim in design yet offering a generous amount of storage space, they help to create an open, airy feel throughout the living area.
- Greater freedom of movement between the kitchen and bathroom: Thanks to the slim design of the LightWeight modules, the distance between the kitchen wall unit and the bathroom has been increased by up to 7 cm – giving you more room to move and noticeably increasing the sense of space.
- Full LightWeight Technology furniture module with shaped components for seating area, shelving and TV: The well‐designed furniture body is more than just functional – it combines the TV, shelf unit and the dinette’s rear bench seat into a single, cohesive element. Space‐saving, stylish and a true design highlight inside the vehicle.
- With built‐in storage compartments: Side‐mounted compartments provide practical, easily accessible storage space, blending seamlessly into the premium design of the front section.
- Integrated surround for panoramic window: The standard panoramic window is seamlessly integrated into the front section – for a high‐quality, seamless look. A well‐engineered, visually striking feature – fully in line with contemporary interior styling.
Constant pleasant interior climate
The integrated thermal insulation ensures a pleasant interior temperature. The result: noticeably improved comfort in all weather conditions and more efficient energy use.
- Significantly improved thermal insulation: The ceiling and floor panels are each manufactured as a single piece and fit the vehicle structure precisely – ensuring exceptionally even and efficient insulation throughout the interior.
- Integrated overhead cupboard housing: The cupboard housing forms part of both the wall panelling and the insulation – space‐saving, seamlessly integrated and more efficient than ever.
- Outstanding insulation: The wall panelling features LightWeight Technology and not only effectively insulates against heat and cold, but also reduces noise for enhanced relaxation and comfort.
- Innovative material for heat, cold and noise insulation: It ensures a pleasant interior climate and noticeably reduces noise – for greater comfort, improved energy efficiency and genuine peace and quiet in the vehicle.
Better sound insulation, more relaxation
The sound‐insulating material structure noticeably reduces external noise and vibrations – for greater relaxation while stationary and improved focus when driving. Even on the road, the vehicle’s interior remains pleasantly quiet.
- Outstanding insulation – including acoustic performance: Equipped with LightWeight Technology, the wall panelling reduces external noise, creating a quieter, more comfortable interior.
- Innovative material for heat, cold and noise insulation: It helps maintain a pleasant indoor climate while significantly reducing outside noise – for enhanced comfort, improved energy efficiency and true peace and quiet inside the vehicle.
- Increased occupant protection: The material’s shock‐absorbing properties also contribute to safety. In the event of an impact, it effectively absorbs energy, helping to reduce the risk of injury to the vehicle’s occupants.
