Doesn’t matter how many times I see those bathrooms, can’t stop thinking how brilliant they are! Small space great management. Innovation on kitchens will have to catch up into a fold away kitchen! Wonderful tour, keep them coming, please!
We looked this model over at the 24 NEC show ,ideal for older couples with good storage & the two single beds ,nice lighting light wood colour my preference is on a VW or Fiat Ducato .
Very smart design on the bathroom and shower. I think those spending time in an RV, besides a nice bed really appreciate a proper bathroom and shower. Also agree, the external color scheme looks very sharp. Hope you guys are doing well Nick. Wishing you the best as we approach the holidays! Cheers Mate! - Mark from NorCal
Hi Nick, And thank you for this nice show of this Knaus Van TI Plus 650 Meg wow what a long name for a motorhome but its a beautiful model big garage in the back nice the great bathroom with that folding wall for the shower the only thing what is strangs is where the tv is placed thanks again Nick a great show👍👍👍👍👍
Nick Whale up plate these to 3850kg so there is 650kg payload. From what I remember there is an underbed short wardrobe. Those storage places at the front are ashtrays! Germany is very smoker friendly so I’m sure they are an MAN/ Knaus essential. Knaus fit a gas oven for the U.K. market but it cuts a lot of kitchen storage space, I’d rather have one without and somewhere to put my baked beans.
That's pretty nice.Great for a couple to travels about.I wonder the towing capacity though?It has a nice diesel and they usually have loads more torque than horsepower.I'd imagine you could pull a trailer with a couple trail toys or a fishing boat.?.
Just a note re gearbox… The gearbox in this vehicle is not DSG (8 speed DSG does not exist), it is a “conventional” 8 speed torque converter automatic… Great gearbox, same as used in VW Touareg and VW Amarok V6… And of course in the VW brother of this MAN TGE chassis, VW Crafter…
Funnily enough man is also owned by scania who are also owned under vw, that gives me hope that vw may make scania vans as scania is more of a luxurious and sporty commercial name. But its unlikely, still a nice thought that you may be able to get a "scania v series" vw transporter with probably a v6 instead of the i4.
True. Cost of raw materials, equipment, machinery, labour, taxes etc. are different in every country and so is the exchange rate. At this price point for the above mentioned vehicle and with similar or better interiors, it is quite possible to build an RV in India for almost half the price, which is still expensive from Indian standard of living for most Indians.
True. Prices have shot up over the last three years - this little van might have been £50k back then. Whatever has happened, these mad prices for tiny motorhomes can't be sustainable - all those retirees with their pension lump sums are going to walk away and spend £25k on a caravan instead.
OKish van but only 100 ltrs of water and 300kg of payload, it really isn’t workable unless you travel extremely light. My current Cathago is 20cm shorter at 6.8m, and has hanging space, bigger bathroom, L shaped kitchen, L shaped lounge seating with an extra seat, more storage, much bigger water tank etc. I can only conclude that this looses a whole load of usable space vs the Fiat van chassis.

Thank you, will do! 🙂
Hi Nick. I like the subtle back lighting. The magic shower, awesome. Welcoming colour tones. Great video thanks 😊
Glad you liked it! 🙂
Hey, Nick thanks for another great video. The shower is very clever, with limited space, the best I've seen so far.
Thanks for watching them! 🙂
Its amazing how much is squeezed into such s a small space. Such comfort for camping. Thank you Nick
It's a pleasure! 🙂
I hadn’t seen a Knaus vehicle before, very nice and not over complicated.

Nick as someone else commented before, l wonder when the yacht builders will start installing these shower/heads into their under 40 foot boats?
Good question, they're clever aren't they?
imagine industries working together to make better products for consumers thats a funny joke
Looks like so much fun! 👍
Another lovely motorhome nick 👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you! 🙂
Very good nick not a bad little van 👍👍

Another enjoyable Video Review. Looks very smart 😊
This is a really nice and modern looking design, with everything included except a hanging locker. If only it was £15,000 cheaper...
That's pretty nice.Great for a couple to travels about.I wonder the towing capacity though?It has a nice diesel and they usually have loads more torque than horsepower.I'd imagine you could pull a trailer with a couple trail toys or a fishing boat.?.
Amazing vehicle. Thanks Nick~! :)
You're very welcome! 🙂
Does that forward TV slide? The upper right side is covered by the storage...
Rest is a beautiful design though.
That storage thing in the front is a smokeless ashtray,
Aaaahh!

Hi Nick
We have the knaus sky ti 650 mf on the fiat absolutely love it 👍
Awesome! 😃
A fantastic quality build motorhome
Great spec at a good price in today's market 👍
Nicely done compact camper. Interesting that VW decided to brand it as MAN. Wonder what the reason is. Thanks for the tour!
My guess is because it would have been sold as a cab and chassis for completion by Knaus, so would have come from their commercial arm, which is MAN.
Funnily enough man is also owned by scania who are also owned under vw, that gives me hope that vw may make scania vans as scania is more of a luxurious and sporty commercial name. But its unlikely, still a nice thought that you may be able to get a "scania v series" vw transporter with probably a v6 instead of the i4.
Didn’t know MAN used the VW nav/media system, interesting!
MAN is part of the VW Group, it's basically their commercial vehicle arm.
Why not lpg
The motorhome, in itself, would probably be rated 6. Nick does the presentation and lo, we unquestioningly give it a 9.
As ever, Nice Nick.
You're very kind! 🙂
£75 K and only a 2 burner hob and no electric hob what were they thinking
No wardrobe ?
Would be good if i did not have to shove all the clothes in the 3 cubby holes above the bed ?
Great videos but all are out of most people's price range..

You can finance up to 30 years for these.
