Knaus Südwind 450 UE – 2020 Caravan

German engineering with a genuinely flexible layout: this pre-owned 2020 Knaus Südwind 450 UE pairs a U-shaped front lounge with rear twin fixed single beds, giving couples the option of separate beds every night, or joining them into one large bed using the pull-out slatted frame when they want a double.

It is built on Knaus's Pro.Tec-Frame – a heavy-duty aluminium profile framing the bodyshell for strength and a well-sealed structure – topped with a GRP roof designed to resist hail damage. Underneath sits an AL-KO chassis with the ATC anti-snake system, confirmed fitted in our photographs, along with AL-KO's premium self-adjusting AAA brakes.

The weight plate on this caravan confirms an MTPLM of 1600kg, with a maximum axle load of 1700kg and a maximum noseweight of 100kg. We are still confirming the exact Mass in Running Order and payload figures, which German-format plates like this one don't always print, and will update the listing once verified. As a guide, Knaus suggests a tow car with a kerbweight of around 1765kg or more for a comfortable match using the 85% rule of thumb. You can compare this caravan against the rest of our used caravans, and research its history on the CRiS website using the VIN below.

    Front U-Shaped Lounge / Central Washroom & Kitchen / Rear Twin Fixed Single Beds

  • What Owners Love About The Südwind 450 UE
    • Twin fixed beds that join into one – sleep separately most nights, or slide the frame out to make a genuinely large double when you want it.
    • A U-shaped front lounge – wraps around a central dining table, giving proper seating for meals as well as relaxing.
    • Serious German build quality – the Pro.Tec-Frame and GRP roof are built for weather resistance and structural longevity.
    • AL-KO ATC fitted – confirmed at the hitch, giving reassuring stability on the road.
    • A central washroom and kitchen – positioned opposite each other in the middle of the caravan, keeping the bedroom private at the rear.
  • Interior Highlights

    Bedroom: Twin fixed single beds sit at the rear with a central nightstand between them, each with its own reading light and storage. A pull-out slatted frame allows the two singles to be joined into one large bed when required.

    Washroom: A dedicated washroom sits centrally, opposite the kitchen block, keeping washing facilities away from both the lounge and the bedroom.

    Lounge: The front U-shaped lounge wraps around a central table, offering genuinely sociable seating for dining as well as relaxing, and converts to a double bed for additional sleeping capacity.

    Kitchen: The central kitchen block includes a three-burner hob, sink and a compressor fridge – a more efficient and quieter alternative to the absorption fridges found in many UK-built caravans.

    Technology: A TV bracket mount is fitted in the lounge area with a mains socket and aerial point nearby, along with the caravan’s standard 12v and consumer unit systems.

  • EXTERIOR & TECHNICAL HIGHLIGHTS

    The Südwind tows on an AL-KO chassis with the ATC electronic anti-snake system and AL-KO’s premium self-adjusting AAA brakes, both confirmed in our photographs. The Pro.Tec-Frame aluminium bodyshell and GRP roof give this caravan genuine European-spec weather resistance.

    A spare wheel is carried in the front locker alongside the gas connection point, and there is an external gas BBQ-style connection point on the offside. This pre-owned example presents well. If you would like to compare, our full range of used caravans includes UK-built island beds, fixed singles and family layouts.

  • FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Q: How is a Knaus different from a British-built caravan?
    A: Knaus caravans are built in Germany with different construction standards and materials, such as the Pro.Tec-Frame aluminium bodyshell and a GRP roof designed for hail resistance. The compressor fridge in the kitchen is also different from the absorption fridges found in most UK-built caravans, running quieter and more efficiently.

    Q: Can the twin beds really become one big bed?
    A: Yes. Knaus fits a pull-out slatted frame between the fixed singles, so you can slide them together into a genuinely large double when you want to, and separate them again the next day.

    Q: Has the caravan been checked for damp?
    A: Every used caravan we sell at Golden Castle is inspected before it goes on sale. Ask us for the details on this Südwind when you enquire or visit.

    Q: Can I tow this on my driving license?
    A: Yes, with an MTPLM of 1600kg it is towable on a standard UK license with a suitable tow car. Since the rules changed in 2021, drivers who passed after 1997 can tow up to 3,500kg of combined trailer weight.

    Q: Will my car tow it?
    A: Using the 85% rule of thumb, a car with a kerbweight of around 1,880kg or more is a comfortable match at this MTPLM. Tell us what you drive and we will check the match for you once the exact MRO figure is confirmed.

    Q: Do you take part exchange?
    A: Contact us with the details of your current caravan and we will be happy to discuss a part exchange valuation.

    Q: Can I check the caravan’s history myself?
    A: Absolutely. The VIN is WKN55362JLW010139 and you can verify it independently on the CRiS website – we encourage every buyer to do so.
