Is the Knaus SUN I the right luxury liner for your needs?
The Knaus SUN I is a premium 4-berth A-class motorhome designed for four-season continental touring. With a length of 8.82m and a 5000kg MTPLM, it offers a significant 1050kg payload and luxury features including a yacht-style interior, heated double floor, and integrated 32-inch LED TV. It is positioned in the high-end market with prices ranging from 115000 to 185000.
- 4-berth liner-class A-model with a 5000kg MTPLM.
- Available layouts include Rear Island Bed and Rear Twin Beds.
- Features an electric drop-down front bed and L-shaped lounge.
- Built on a high-performance AL-KO chassis with a heated double floor.
- Substantial 1050kg payload for long-distance touring equipment.
Worth knowing: A C1 category driving licence is required to operate this 5000kg vehicle. The 8.82m length and 2.34m width may prove difficult on narrow rural roads. Pricing varies significantly between 115000 and 185000 depending on specification.
Buying a Knaus SUN I: What you need to know
Who it suits
- • Long-term tourers who require a large 1050kg payload for extended trips.
- • Winter enthusiasts seeking four-season capability via the heated double floor.
- • Drivers comfortable with a large 8.82m vehicle on a heavy-duty chassis.
Reasons to consider it
- • Exceptional storage capacity provided by the double-floor construction and large garage.
- • High-end interior finish featuring premium wood, ambient lighting, and a panoramic windscreen.
- • Superior stability and driving dynamics from the AL-KO chassis.
What to check
- • Verify the specific layout as this model features both Rear Island Bed and Rear Twin Bed configurations.
- • Check the operation of the electric lift mechanism for the 32-inch LED TV.
- • Inspect the condition of the extra-wide entrance door and integrated umbrella stand.
- • Confirm the service history of the AL-KO chassis and heating system.
Worth knowing: Ensure you have the correct C1 entitlement on your driving licence for the 5000kg MTPLM. The 2.94m height requires careful route planning for low bridges.
Compare the Knaus SUN I The exclusive one with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Knaus SUN I The exclusive one | 4 | 5000 kg | 8.82 m | £115,000 to £185,000 |
| Swift Kon-Tiki 894 180BHP Auto | 4 | 5000 kg | 8.96 m | £85,000 to £135,000 |
| Rapido i196M Distinction 170BHP Auto | 4 | 4500 kg | 7.54 m | £115,000 to £155,000 |
The Knaus SUN I sits at the upper end of the A-class market, competing with models like the Adria Supersonic 890 LC and Swift Kon-Tiki 894. While the Adria offers a higher 5500kg MTPLM and the Swift provides a more accessible entry price, the Knaus distinguishes itself with its specific 1050kg payload and 8.82m German-engineered frame. The choice between these vehicles often depends on whether the buyer prioritises the Knaus yacht-style interior and double-floor insulation over the different berth configurations or weight limits found in its rivals.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and maintenance tips for the SUN I
- Utilise the underfloor storage for heavier items to maintain the low centre of gravity provided by the AL-KO chassis.
- Regularly check the seals on the panoramic windscreen to ensure long-term visibility.
- Test the electric drop-down front bed mechanism periodically to ensure smooth operation.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Underestimating the 8.82m length when navigating tight UK campsites.
- • Neglecting to drain the double floor systems during periods of extreme cold if not in use.
Worth knowing: The 5000kg MTPLM is a fixed limit; always weigh the vehicle when fully loaded to ensure the 1050kg payload is not exceeded.
