Monaco Knight 32PBD: American motorhome with a 5,900 cc six-cylinder engine, 10,886 kg gross vehicle weight, 10,200 mm length and European registration
Monaco was a US manufacturer of motorhomes, and Knight was one of its model lines. Such vehicles were built on chassis designed specifically for motorhomes, with a diesel engine, as is usual for large American motorhomes, rather than on an ordinary truck or van chassis.

The six-cylinder engine of 5,900 cc drives a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of 10,886 kg and an unladen weight of 9,838 kg, leaving around 1,048 kg for payload, water and luggage. At 10,200 mm long and 2,550 mm wide on four wheels, the 32PBD belongs among the large motorhomes with correspondingly generous living space.
At 10,886 kg the 32PBD sits in EU class N2, which covers vehicles up to 12 tonnes, as it is registered here on Dutch plates. Motorhomes of this size are built in the US but are occasionally imported into Europe by enthusiasts and registered there; a length of over ten metres and a high gross weight call for corresponding experience with long, heavy vehicles.
For a used example of such an imported American motorhome, the condition of the seals around the roof and window fronts matters most, since moisture damage is the most common cause of costly follow-on damage to the living cabin. It is also worth checking the tyres and brakes at this weight, and the availability of spare parts for the living-area systems, which is limited for imported American vehicles in Europe.
