Helmet Knaus established Knaus in Marktbreit, Bavaria in 1961. Their first caravan, Schwalbennest, a small lightweight caravan, was launched the same year. The company launched the Südwind the following year, a range that it is still available today, though almost unrecognisable from the classic caravan launched in 1962.

Knaus UK, which produces caravans unique to the British market, has received many awards at our Caravan Design Awards.

The Judges’ said …

The Knaus Sport&Fun its outstanding in its field for lockers and access, there's a main entrance door on the nearside but also a huge rear door that allows bikes/motorbikes to be loaded into the caravan without adjusting their handle bars.  As if this wasn't good enough, there's a whole motorhome-style garage at the front, with an enormous access door on the nearside and a slightly smaller access door on the offside.  The gas locker is also here at the front, separately accessed through a locker door.

Knaus has carefully considered every aspect of this design, resulting in a truly distinctive creation. The drop-down double bed is an excellent space-saving solution. Cycling enthusiasts will appreciate the ability to store their bikes inside the caravan during transit, thanks to the two garage doors and secure strapping points. Thoughtful details like the pop-up storage in the kitchen worktop, along with an abundance of storage options, make this a highly functional caravan

This compact caravan is truly cutting-edge and perfectly suited for owners of electric tow cars. Despite its small size, it offers a wealth of features and amenities. The drop-down bed is well designed and I love the ability to store a bike in the lounge area that can be accessed via the garage door. The crowning glory is the fact it is an electric caravan - bravo! This is the future!
