The register lists here 5 versions with displacement from 2,500 to 2,800 cm³ from four-cylinder engines, unladen weights from 2,662 to 3,060 kg, gross vehicle weights from 3,200 to 3,500 kg and widths from 2,300 to 2,340 mm.

The Traveller is among the established semi-integrated motorhomes on the Fiat Ducato base in the German market and competes there with semi-integrated models from Hymer, Dethleffs and Bürstner; the overcab bed provides extra sleeping places for families.

When buying a used semi-integrated motorhome of this type, key points are damp at the roof, windows and overcab bed, the condition of the furniture and sanitary installations, rust on the Fiat Ducato chassis, and the currency of the gas inspection, the age of the tyres and the condition of the battery; chassis parts are supplied through the Fiat Professional network, body parts through Knaus authorised workshops, which also stock upholstery and furniture components.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
