FIVE DIRECT COMPETITORS
1. Adria Twin Supreme 640 SLB
The Adria has a similar rear longitudinal single-bed arrangement, but offers a more premium interior specification. Its standard specification includes a swivel bathroom, a 2.2-litre Fiat engine starting at 140 bhp, and a 84-litre refrigerator, with a larger 138-litre option available.
The Adria is available with diesel heating.
Its principal advantages are its more upmarket interior, optional larger refrigerator and more extensive equipment choices. The Sunlight offers a larger wastewater tank and a simpler, more straightforward specification.
2. Knaus BoxLife 630 ME
Uses longitudinal single beds and a manually adjustable rear lifting bed arrangement, allowing the storage area underneath to be adapted.
Diesel heating is standard, and an optional front lifting bed.
282 cm externally, with 218 cm of interior headroom.
3. Weinsberg CaraBus 630 ME
The Weinsberg shares the familiar longitudinal single-bed arrangement, with rear mattresses measuring 195 x 85 cm and 200 x 85 cm.
It has a 102-litre freshwater tank, 90-litre wastewater tank and a 95-litre refrigerator.
The Weinsberg's principal advantage is its longer individual rear mattresses and extensive equipment options. The Sunlight offers a different balance of equipment, with a slightly taller standard body and a larger stated freshwater capacity including its boiler.
4. Pössl Summit Shine 640 – 635.8 cm
The Pössl is almost exactly the same length as the Sunlight. It has rear longitudinal single beds measuring approximately 200 x 80 cm and 190 x 80 cm.
Its main distinguishing feature is the swing-wall bathroom. The rotating partition changes the available space between the toilet and shower, providing a more flexible bathroom arrangement.
Other specifications include a 100-litre freshwater tank, 110-litre wastewater tank, approximately 100-litre refrigerator and Truma Combi 4 heating.
The Pössl has a more generous wastewater capacity and a larger refrigerator. Its swing-wall bathroom is a particularly useful design feature.
5. Hymer Yellowstone 640 – 636 cm
The Hymer is a more premium alternative, with a greater emphasis on interior materials, insulation and independent touring.
It has a Fiat Ducato chassis, 140 bhp engine, 3,500 kg maximum weight and longitudinal rear sleeping accommodation measuring 190 x 119 cm and 188 x 77 cm.
Its freshwater tank holds 110 litres, with a 95-litre wastewater tank. The refrigerator holds 90 litres.
Notable features include heated and insulated underfloor water tanks, optional battery capacity of up to 240 Ah and Hymer Connect app control.
The Hymer's strongest advantages are its winter-oriented equipment, larger freshwater capacity and more sophisticated interior specification. It is a more expensive proposition than the Sunlight.
USPs,
The Cliff 640 is not the most luxurious or technically sophisticated campervan in this comparison. Its appeal lies in its conventional layout, practical dimensions and flexible sleeping arrangements.
The most important alternatives are the Knaus BoxLife 630 ME for flexible storage, the Adria Twin Supreme 640 SLB for its premium specification, and the Hymer Yellowstone for winter equipment and greater self-sufficiency.
