"Newbie", but use day-van for short camping trips
Help! Can anyone tell me what the differences are between the 650 and 640 Van TI plus? Both on VW chassis, 2wd, same layout.
Someone, IIRC, mentioned the 650 has a higher bed and taller garage.

TIA

A quick squint at the specs gives a payload figure of 122 kg!! Probably a miss print, but worth checking.

There is a pdf file attached that talks about weight/mass. On that, it mentions 127kg as remaining load capacity IF the vehicle has 150kg of extras factory fitted and is also carrying 3 x 75 people as passengers. The whole weight issues need hugely simplyfying. It's madness.
Sorry OP....don't know the answer to your original question but my wife and I had a good look round these vans at a show a few months ago. Very impressed with them.
 
From the blurb provided in the link above:

The 640 is 2 beds, the 650 is 3. Assume the dinette table drops to form the 3rd bed with passenger seat rotated. You may need to ensure the infill mattress/cushion is on the order.

The 640 is on a Fiat, the 650 on a VW.

Slight difference in length, 640 is 689cm, 650 is 696cm

Payload ex works on 640 is 245Kg vs 650 at 227Kg
 
I have just taken a peak at the spec for the Knaus Van TI 650 MEG Plus Platinum .... Payload ex works ..... 54 kg!!!!!!


So impossible to make that work with a B licence! Such a shame because it it is, in other respects, a decent vehicle.

EDIT: But elsewhere on the same Knaus website it quotes a MIRO of 2920 kg and a payload of 147kg!!


If they have not got a clue about their own vehicle how are we poor shmucks supposed to know?!!!
