What Awning Knaus

[SirHector]

What fits in the channels of a Knaus sport and fun ……or a wind out canopy options be better.

Sorry I’m new to caravaning and looking at this Caravan option to carry my motorbike also. Not seen anything else as good.

I’m not aware of anyone on the Forum that owns a Knaus, perhaps a call to a Knaus dealer might provide accurate information.
When I was looking at a Knaus I spoke to Blackmore Vale who are a Knaus dealership. They were very helpful.

Any sort of motorbike is going to almost certainly weigh a lot more than a caravans available payload! (They all have maximum legally permitted total weight)

I have assumed from the above that's what you are thinking of doing? If so, forget it!!

The caravan of interest to the OP does not have an end loading facility, But it’s not your conventional caravan. What its payload is I’m not sure, but the Knaus Deseo featured in a recent thread is designed for carrying a motorcycle via end loading.

Incorrect. Here is a twin axle Knaus caravan designed for carrying a motor bike and I posted a picture of it about 3 weeks.

That fact was pointed out to me some 2 hours prior to your post

However I posted a picture of the offending unit. Double whammy so you don't forget!

I need to update my above post as there is now a Knaus Sport and Fun Black Edition that does have a rear door and a 300kg payload. So it could be feasible to load a motorcycle. But the OPs question related to the fitment of awning(s) which is probably best answered by a Knaus dealer or Knaus.

The one in Buckmans post is a DESEO

Have a word with Jeff Bowen Awnings. They do awnings for a range of caravans including Eribas, tab and knaus. I bought a Walker awning from them some years ago and they were really helpful. Give them a ring.

Should support anyof aftermarket side awnings for side door. Awning to cover end maybe issue as doesn't look like single axle version posted has rear awning rails, also ladder is in way.
There are rear awnings designed specficially for Swift bascamp, might fit other rear entry caravans assuming there are rails.
