My boss has a Knaus.

Not sure which model though... (Snow wind was mentioned??)

He had me standing on it's roof with the pressure washer removing the green algae!

Yes I did say 'STANDING ON THE ROOF WITH A PRESSURE WASHER'!!

I warned him about leaks etc, but he's done it several times before in the past and it's not leaked anywhere...

Damned if I do...

Damned if I don't!!!!

Knaus Sudwind perhaps. Seen quite a few of them at a rally on a French site.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?

There is now a Company in Bournemouth who will import Knaus vans. However, strangely enough, the best place to buy a Knaus ( new) is from a Dutch dealer. In March 2022 I purchased a Knaus 580FDK Sudwind Exclusive from budgetcaravans.nl
They speak perfect English and will guide you through every step of the purchase. We bought a German caravan mainly due to reputation and reliability of build, and the fact that there is no UK manufactured van that has both a fixed double bed and fixed bunks. Although a trifle heavy, we have now towed our Knaus through France, Holland, Belgium and Germany as well as most of the South of England. Couldn't wish for a better home from home.

That must be newer than most people could hope to buy

I agree they are very well built vans.

Welcome to UKCS. Someone on here will say, once they realise yours is a new post on a pretty old thread.
Meanwhile, you can download catalogues off the internet: “knaus starclass caravan fuse box” works on Google.

Greetings. We have owned a Knaus 580 Exclusive since March 2012. We bought German as it was the only layout that we could find that offered a fixed bed and fixed bunks for the kids. Very well made and robust van that we have regularly serviced. No sign whatsoever of damp. Some of our friends are on their second and third van within that time frame. You will need a motor mover on it because as you have recognised, they are quite heavy. The only thing I would change my Knaus for would be another Knaus! In our 9 years of ownership I’ve changed the pump in the onboard water tank (I did it myself and I’m not remotely diy able!) we fitted a new fridge last year as the Dometic version we had, failed totally and there wasn’t a suitable replacement (over wheel arch step fridge) so we replaced it with a Thetford, which so far, has been just as good and only about 66% of the cost of the Dometic.
