Sleeping facilities

Options

The KNAUS VAN TI PLUS offers different sleeping configurations depending on the model. In the VAN TI PLUS 650 MEG, two cozy single beds in the rear ensure a high level of sleeping comfort. These can optionally be combined to form a large sleeping area. The VAN TI PLUS 700 LF, on the other hand, has a comfortable French bed in the rear, which fits perfectly into the room concept. In addition, the lounge in the 700 LF can optionally be converted into a guest bed.

Comfort

Both models are equipped with high-quality mattresses for a restful night's sleep. The soft-touch wall panelling in the sleeping area of the VAN TI PLUS 700 LF creates a particularly cosy atmosphere. In the VAN TI PLUS 650 MEG, the optional connection of the single beds creates a large, continuous sleeping area that offers plenty of space for a relaxing night's sleep.

Flexibility

While the lounge in the VAN TI PLUS 700 LF can optionally be converted into a guest bed, this is not possible in the VAN TI PLUS 650 MEG. However, this layout offers a different kind of flexibility thanks to the variably usable single beds. Both models rely on a well thought-out room concept to optimally integrate the sleeping area into the motorhome.
