4 Knaus Travelino 400 QL

The real showstopper for the PC team was the UK debut of the tiny Travelino. Using an ultra-light chassis and ‘Fibreframe’ construction to weigh in at a flyweight 750kg, this compact four-berth could bring about a revolution in the tourer market. There’s a fixed double bed across the front – or L-shaped seating if you prefer – plus a small rear dinette. Clever details include the space-saving washroom design and an amazing photovoltaic front window that can be dimmed to black to make curtains redundant. This 5.19m van weighs in at a hefty £18,499 – a fair amount for such a tiddler, but what price innovation? AC
