Knaus Tabbert

Knaus has emptied the tricks out of both sleeves in its latest attempt to change the RV game. Its new VW T6.1-based Tourer CUV sizes shorter than many camper vans but lives like a Class B+ motorhome thanks to a pop-up roof and expandable dry bathroom.

Knaus Tabbert has revealed its E.Power Drive research prototype at the 2021 Düsseldorf Caravan Salon. The motorhome dumps diesel for an all-electric powertrain supported by a rotary engine generator that doubles as a campground power source.

Knaus Tabbert is adding some serious pop to its 2021 CUV camper vans. Its new pop-up roof brings cool, clean ambient lighting, smart features like wireless induction charging, and a panoramic window, creating the best room in the house.

Possibly the most convincing bike-hauling camper van we've seen, the Weinsberg MEG [Outlaw] has an extra-high bed above a tall 4,500-liter garage.

Camper vans usually sleep two to four. Occasionally we see a van that can sleep five or six. The latest Knaus Boxlife goes further, sleeping up to seven people on four available beds. And the van's variable, multifunctional furniture makes it an outdoor adventure powerhouse like no other.

Knaus will show the latest fruits of its innovative camper van thinking at the 2018 Düsseldorf Caravan Salon, fruits that will include two all-new concept vans that show the path for a sportier, more aggressive future. Knaus has taken camper vans full-on "fast and furious."

Just a few months after we looked at the multipurpose Deseo 400 TR camping trailer, Knaus is back on the show circuit with the equally impressive Travelino Skyview. This light caravan concept slides a tint-adjustable picture window between campers and the great outdoors.

This year saw inspiring new camper vans and motorhome introductions for those looking to get out there and stay for a while. Here we look at the best of the best, from big, angry all-landers with homestyle comforts, to versatile everyday commuters that weekend as vacation homes.

After showing one of the first camper concepts based on the new VW Crafter, Knaus has now shown the production Boxdrive camper, and it's calling it a CUV - that is, caravanning utility vehicle. We're not sure it breaks the mold that much, but the Boxdrive is a roomy, versatile VW camper van.

The new second-generation Crafter will launch next month, but the first camper vans based on the latest VW offering have already started arriving, at least in show van form. The Saint & Sinner design study from Germany's Knaus Tabbert combines retro flair with modern amenities.

A market of extremes, the motorhome segment hosted debuts of everything from ultra-premium luxury carriages to toppers sliding a bit of roof over pickup truck beds this year. The following field homes have all parked on a plot in our memories with innovative designs and features.

The 2016 Knaus Sun i doesn't have the smooth, fluid style of the Caravisio, but Knaus' new flagship motorhome does share some high-tech inspiration with that 2013 caravan concept. The luxurious motorhome is packed with features, including smartphone lighting control and a slide-out outdoor TV.
