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.

Knaus Yaseo 340 PX

"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!"

"Brilliant long A-frame for improved stability and space to fit a cycle carrier. Quality ABS mouldings meet an AL-KO coupling. Commended for fitting a premium AL-KO noseweight measuring jockey wheel as standard."
