Just a quick thread to see if anyone has one and what do they think of it?

Hubbie is quite taken with themand is thinking of swapping our dethleffs for one. Do they do a twin axel?

Many thanks
Gina

Be careful about buying a foreign van! most insurance company's will not touch them.

I must admit the are a nice van and well built though, but i believe Knaus only do 2 models and are both single axles

I have a Knaus Sudwind 500, I have no trouble in insuring it what so ever & no site has ever turned me down I just mention I have a german van. Quality wise it makes British vans look silly I'm Sad to say.

I have to say my van is French (Caravelair) and its really good. I have only had it since February but already had two trips out. The buid quality is good and I have never had any problems at sites accepting it. I had to choose between this one and a Bailey Pageant Majestic 2 berth and I chose this as it was much better. I insured through Caravan Club and its not that expensive.

Hi, we have a Knaus Starclass 470, its a 2006 model and we think it is great. 

The quality of the fittings is excellent, as is the build quality.

 

We got ours new from Orpington Caravans in Kent, (now called Discover) and found them to be most helpful when we had a problem with a tap.

We have not had a problem insuring the van nor in booking at sites.

I am not sure if they do a twin axle model, but they are certainly great caravans.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
