The Knaus fully integrated range has a new, very keenly priced member of the family

August 28, 2019

Our top German manufacturer, Knaus have always been synonymous with quality motorhomes and none more so than their beautiful, fully integrated models. For 2020, they have truly stolen a march on the European market with the introduction of the Live I. This brand new model offers all the usual Knaus quality at a totally unbeatable price.

We saw the Live I at the Knaus Dealer Convention earlier this year and it was the sensation of the event. The Knaus marketing team stepped on stage to introduce it early on in the event and then the dealers had the chance to look at the show model. During the afternoon presentation, the price of the Live I was revealed and about 350 dealers literally said in unison “What did he say”?! Prices start from just €65645 for the 650 MEG (see more options below) so if you are looking for an incredibly spacious, luxurious, fully integrated motorhome from a top, German manufacturer you won’t find a better deal.

There are two models of The Live I, The 650 MEG and the 700 MEG. Both have twin beds (with a conversion kit available to turn them into one enormous double) and also a decent sized second bed that drops down from the ceiling above the dining table. As with most fully integrated motorhomes, the internal space and available storage feel more like a home than a motorhome so if you are planning a long trip and need comfort and space, these models are well worth a closer look.

The full photos and specifications will be live on the Knaus France website very soon with greater detail of what is included in the price and all the optional extras. In the meantime, you can see much of the detail and a few more photos of them on the international Knaus website.

 

KNAUS	Live I 650 MEG	Live I 700 MEG
120 hp manual gearbox	€65645	€68115
140 hp manual gearbox*	€66545	€69015
160 hp manual gearbox*	€68655	€71125
180 hp manual gearbox*	€70475	€72945
650 MEG 7 metres long twin beds (with option to join the twin beds to make one very large double bed) plus additional double, drop down bed.
700 MEG 7.5 metres long twin beds (with option to join the twin beds to make one very large double bed) plus additional double, drop down bed.

All figures quoted are based on a Fiat Ducato 2.3 multijet turbo diesel engine, prices include TVA (sales tax) and delivery to Veron from the factory.

*An Automatic Gearbox adds €3358 to the prices shown above (available on all engines with 140 hp or higher).

This style of motorhome is very popular in France and these new models will make all previous fully-integrated vehicles look like bad value. We think they are going be incredibly easy to sell as used vehicles with limited depreciation so they will make for a cost-effective choice even for a pretty short duration of trip/ownership.  Just one more reason to come and do that European tour in 2020!

If you would like a detailed quotation for a 2020 Knaus Live I, tell us which model, engine size and transmission you’d like plus any extras you would like to add and we will send one to you. If you are planning to order a new vehicle for a spring 2020 trip start, don’t forget the delay between ordering and production is typically around six months. That delay might become a little longer after the huge European Motorhome Shows which start soon as production slots fill up.
