Structure & Quality

Functional sandwich construction made of aluminium and insulating materials (XPS or EPS) with polyurethane plastic reinforcements and fully bonded structure make the whole structure of the vehicle more stable, more resistant to decay, and more durable. This is what Top Value Technology – in short: TVT represents.

Not all GRP is the same. Resistance depends on how high the glass content is. For maximum protection against hailstorms, we decided on the high‐strength variant with a fibreglass content that is almost three times greater than that of standard GRP.

Thanks to unique, three‐dimensional design, the FoldXpand rear construction and the flush‐integrated tail‐light carrier form a completely flat surface that looks particularly automotive and allows you maximum living space with the most compact exterior dimensions.

We install a thick, tough GRP layer in order to best protect the underbody against weather, impacts from stones, or similar.

Striking design and genuine KNAUS DNA. That’s what can be found with the alloy wheels, which are available in the black gloss front polished or titanium metallic paint variants, depending on the range. (Dependent on model / optional)

The low centre of gravity and the particularly torsionresistant chassis ensure exceptional driving and comfort features as well as maximum safety when driving. An additional benefit is that the low chassis height provides more room to stand and more loading volume even with compact dimensions.

For all our leisure vehicles, we offer you a 10‐year leakproofness guarantee on the body manufactured by us as well as a 24‐month guarantee from your KNAUS partner within the framework of our guarantee conditions valid at the time of vehicle delivery. (Across all series)

This is bodywork technology at a purely luxurious level: An outer shell made of highly‐resistant aluminium sheets, quality XPS insulation between them, and aluminium sheet on the inside with a textile wall covering. This doublewall structure increases the torsion resistance of the structure, and therefore ensures maximum durability. The aluminium sheet on the inside ideally collects and dissipates the heat in your SUN I, providing a uniquely pleasing atmosphere. The TVT+ structure also provides benefits regarding safety. Despite the GRP roof, the aluminium interior wall creates a Faraday cage that provides optimal protection even in heavy storms. (Dependent on model)

The aluminium and XPS combination is the best that can be used for the outer shell of a motorhome. It is therefore no surprise that the side wall is comparable to a typical house wall with regard to its insulating effect. Your benefit: Lower gas consumption in winter and ideal protection from heat in summer. (Dependent on model)

The textile wall covering does not just create a homely atmosphere with its pleasant and soft surface, but it also improves the acoustics and heat storage. (Dependent on model)

Coated aluminium and hydrophobic XPS insulation together make a side wall that is resistant to decay, and it also ensures a long vehicle life due to age‐resistant materials and high torsion resistance. (Across all series / Dependent on model)

For particularly easy access and even faster exchange of the gas bottles, we install a longitudinal gas box. This is suitable for two 11 kg gas bottles placed next to each other.

Optimum luminosity and visibility, low energy consumption and enormous durability: The headlights with low beam, high beam and daytime running light in full LED technology are convincing in design as well as on all other levels.

The front section of the dashboard is heated in a targeted manner in all integrated KNAUS vehicles. This does not just prevent misted windows, but the insulated porch area also works in a similar manner to an area heating system. This means that the same pleasant atmosphere in the vehicle also applies to the driver’s cab.

Optimal comfort regarding noise when driving, ideal insulation when still. We use a special high‐tech material in areas that are particularly heavily used, such as the wheelhouse and the engine compartment: Expanded propylene. This material has exceptional noise and heat insulation properties as well as being extremely resistant against mechanical effects.

Our double floor ensures cosy warmth due to double‐layer insulation even in the coldest outside temperatures. Water and heating pipes are installed in such a way that they are protected against frost and damage. Alongside the benefits with regard to insulation, the double floor has a practical advantage too. It also serves as a loading option for bulky objects such as skis or camping furniture, as well as several storage compartments for smaller utensils. A particular highlight: The storage space beneath the bench is easily accessible from both the inside and the outside.

The SUN I 3 axles can be optionally equipped with a waste water valve camera to simplify the positioning of the vehicle over the drain. The standard electric drain valve can be conveniently operated from the cab.

Timeless design means nothing if the vehicle starts looking old after only a few years. For this reason we only use quality products from renowned suppliers, such as 3M, Avery, and Oracal. (Across all series)

Our Blind Spot Warner helps you keep track of side and rear traffic. The system gives you the necessary all‐round view not only while driving but also when maneuvering. Pure safety! (Dependent on model / Optional)

The modern internal key system 1 slides smoothly into the lock and, due to its straight surface, it does not easily get entangled in clothing. So that you don’t have to individually unlock and lock each and every flap, we optionally install a convenient central locking system 2, 3 for the flaps and doors of the vehicle body. Everything is thereby secured at the touch of a button. The optional alarm system ensures even more protection. (Across all series / Dependent on model / Optional)

Our large panorama windscreens in combination with the perfectly adjustable GRAMMER seats and the large side windows grant the greatest possible view looking upwards, downwards, and to the sides. We do not install any universal solutions with regard to our windscreen wipers, but use systems that are ideally adapted to the curvature of the windscreen to provide optimal performance. And finally, our windscreen heater effectively prevents misted windows. Put in short: more active safety for you by having an ideal view and optimal visibility. (Dependent on model)

For your restful sleep at night we install solid locking elements made of h igh‐strength steel in our body doors. The flaps are also particularly secure thanks to multiple locking systems & weatherproof d ouble seals & easy to open thanks to one‐hand operation.

All important vehicle information can be seen at a glance. Touching the individual areas takes you to a more detailed range of adjustment options.

Centrally controlling the main living area light, the bathroom light or simultaneously the ambient lighting in the bedroom? Not a problem at all. The control panel can be used to ensure that you have the perfect lighting throughout your KNAUS.

Several climate control zones can be controlled depending on the range of incorporated features. Select the desired temperature and the automatic system monitors the heating or the air‐conditioning depending on the situation.

You can see at a glance here what the fill levels of the tanks in the vehicle really are. In addition, the device provides an acoustic signal when filling the fresh water tank is needed.

Monitor the charge status of your batteries on board. Further information can be accessed in connection with a battery sensor (as standard with a body battery.)

The settings menu can be used for the optional front blind to select from predefined options and then select the desired position at the touch of a button.

Quality materials are the basis of maximum durability. For this reason, we for example install solid cast‐iron grates, scratch‐resistant stainless steel sinks, quality metal handles, stylish acrylic glass compartments and much more. For an exclusive feel‐good comfort, we pay attention to a stylish lighting concept in the construction of our motorhomes: from natural light through the large roof hoods to the elaborate overall lighting concept.

The head‐up Display projects all important data such as navigation and speed into the driver’s field of vision via a transparent screen. This means you don’t have to take your eyes off the road unnecessarily and can concentrate better on what’s happening on the road. To make your journey even more stress‐free and entertaining at the same time, the new Pioneer navigation system offers everything you need for short and long journeys with a higher contrast 9" multi‐touch display, improved viewing angle and 24bit colour depth. Compatible with Wireless Apple Carplay & Wireless Android Auto, including promobil pitch radar and connection to the head‐up Display for navigation display.

There is also a spacious storage compartment 2 with well thought‐out shelves located next to the passenger seat, so that your co‐driver has everything which might be needed while driving at hand. Smartphone, tissues, sunglasses – everything is easily accessible and well stowed. And when you finally arrive and want a little privacy or sun protection, the entire cab can be shielded from the outside thanks to a practical darkening 1. As an option, an electric drive 3 ensures lots of comfort.

Our optional air‐conditioning systems pleasantly cool the interior in tropical temperatures. Choose between manual and automatic versions for the driver’s cab – always with a pollen filter included. For the air conditioning of the living space we offer the installation of different roof‐top air conditioning systems depending on the model series. Thanks to individually adjustable air flow, these provide efficient air distribution in different directions and can be conveniently controlled by remote control. They also have a heating function and can dehumidify the indoor air.

You can now continue to stream your favourite series & films even while on holiday. With the new optional SMART TVs incl. HD tuner in the living & sleeping area, you have a wide range of options at your disposal.

The furniture plays an important part in ensuring stability of the entire structure. That is why we use highly rigid aluminium profiles with our furniture. These are even more stable than solid timber profiles, and considerably lighter.

No thumping, no rattling, no reclosing. The soft‐close drawers close gently and lock automatically.

Our furniture is joined using elaborate dowelling as standard. This means we achieve great precision in fitting, as well as a considerably more stable structure so that your furniture will still serve you well even after many years.

High pressure laminates are laminates that are specifically used for heavy loads such as in kitchens. The multi‐layer construction is produced under extremely high pressure, then sealed with an exceptionally robust surface layer. This makes our work areas and tabletops particularly scratch‐resistant.

We work together with GRASS for our drawers, who otherwise mainly supply their goods to leading furniture manufacturers. You’ll notice the difference. Due to the fullextension slide, the drawers slide out so far that they can be filled or emptied easily right to the very back of the drawer. They are guided accurately and close quietly – for the life of the vehicle, and probably also beyond.

30 % lighter and 40 % less loss of hardness than comparable cold foam mattresses. No development of ’hollows’ even in onesided use. The 5‐zone EvoPore mattresses (1a) not only pamper you with excellent sleeping comfort, they also impress with exceptional durability. The High‐Resilience‐Climate technology ensures that the mattress remains highly elastic even under demanding climatic conditions. For even more exclusive sleeping comfort, the optional WaterGel layer is up to 50 mm thicker. The breathable foam adapts smoothly to the body.

For anyone who tends to shiver quickly, prefers winter holidays or simply likes to get into a comfortably preheated bed, comfort mattresses with an electric heating system are optionally available. Overheating is impossible thanks to the automatic reset function.

The best mattress is only ever as good as its base frame. That is why we install high‐quality slatted frames as standard. The distance between the individual slats offers optimum stability and superb ventilation at the same time.

Of course we want to ensure a maximum sleeping space for you. Special detail solutions also contribute to this, such as the precisely fitting roller slatted frames and mattress liners for single beds.

Reading a bit more, charging your smartphone overnight and having your glasses ready to hand. For all of that and more, you’ll find comfortable dimmable lighting, sophisticated storage options and sockets in the sleeping area.

Especially with several travel companions and larger families, privacy is an important factor for a restful night’s sleep. This is ensured by textile room dividers that are easy to pull out and provide pleasant privacy. Thanks to the soft‐touch wall panelling, the sleeping area becomes particularly comfortable.

Our precisely fitting, optionally available sheets optimise the lying comfort.
