Description
The Knaus L!VE WAVE 650 MEG BLACK SELECTION is a 6.94-metre low-profile motorhome with a factory-fitted drop-down bed, placing it between a conventional low-profile (TI) and an overcab motorhome. Built on the Fiat Ducato chassis, it combines twin rear single beds, a front electric drop-down bed and a relatively compact overall length, making it suitable for couples who occasionally travel with additional passengers or families looking for a motorhome under seven metres. The BLACK SELECTION package adds a large amount of factory equipment together with exclusive exterior and interior styling.

Interior Layout
At the rear are two longitudinal single beds that can be converted into one large transverse sleeping area using an infill cushion. Below the beds is a large rear garage suitable for bicycles, outdoor furniture and larger camping equipment.
The front lounge consists of swivel cab seats, an L-shaped sofa and side bench around a central dining table. Above this area is an electrically operated drop-down double bed, allowing four adults to sleep without converting the seating area.
142-litre compressor refrigerator
Although built on a 3,500 kg chassis, buyers should pay attention to payload once optional equipment has been added, particularly if travelling with four people.
Driving Characteristics
The Fiat 140 hp engine is generally regarded as providing sufficient performance for touring throughout Europe, while the standard 8-speed automatic transmission fitted to the BLACK SELECTION model improves driving comfort considerably.
The relatively narrow body and moderate overall length also make the vehicle practical on smaller roads.
Comparable Motorhomes
1. Bürstner Lyseo TD 690 G Harmony Line
A similar twin-bed layout with a premium interior and excellent washroom design. The Bürstner generally offers a more luxurious interior finish, while the Knaus provides a more comprehensive factory equipment package in BLACK SELECTION specification.
2. Carado T459
One of the strongest competitors in the value sector. Similar dimensions and twin-bed layout, but with simpler furniture construction and fewer standard driver assistance features.
3. Dethleffs Just Camp T7052 EB
A practical twin-bed motorhome with generous garage storage and good payload. The Dethleffs offers a spacious interior, while the Knaus provides a standard electric drop-down bed.
4. Sunlight T68 Adventure Edition
Built within the Erwin Hymer Group, the T68 shares a similar market position with a focus on practicality and value.
5. Weinsberg CaraSuite 650 MF
Perhaps the closest competitor, as Weinsberg is part of the same Knaus Tabbert Group. Similar dimensions, similar concept and comparable layout. The CaraSuite targets buyers seeking a lower purchase price, while the Knaus includes more premium materials, higher equipment levels and a more refined finish.
Buyers should pay close attention to payload if travelling fully equipped within the 3,500 kg weight limit.
