Fendt Tendenza 560 SFDW (2027): High-end caravan with French bed and hot water heating

If you're not willing to compromise in the high-end caravan segment and you want year-round comfort, take a closer look at the Fendt Tendenza 560 SFDW. If you're looking for a spacious single-axle caravan with genuine four-season equipment, the manufacturer from Mertingen delivers a well thought-out concept for the premium class with this model.

The Fendt Tendenza 560 SFDW is aimed primarily at discerning couples or small families who value space, solid build quality, and a fully equipped heating system on the road. With its impressive body width and standard hot water heating, it stands out from most competitors in this size class.

Exterior & design: Elegant outside, thoughtful in the details

The sheer scale of the Tendenza 560 SFDW becomes clear the moment you look at the specs. With an overall length of 772 cm and a width of 250 cm, this is a genuinely imposing caravan, sitting on black polished alloy wheels.

The LFI technology at the front is neatly integrated into the sandwich construction, while the white cover for the drawbar and overrun device creates a tidy transition to the tow vehicle.

• Chassis components: Fully galvanized AL-KO lightweight system chassis with Euro axle system, shock absorbers, low-profile tires, and a 100 km/h approval as standard.

• Safety: Equipped with the AKS 3004 anti-snaking coupling and AL-KO's self-adjusting AAA brake for stable handling.

• Exterior functionality: Fully insulated wheel arches, an extra-wide entry door with an integrated step, blackout pleated blinds and insect screen, plus an exterior storage hatch for outside access.

• Lighting: A dual-switch LED awning light and brake lights integrated into the upper position lights at the rear.

Living space & sleeping: apartment feel on wheels

Step into the Tendenza and the generous sense of space hits you right away. Thanks to a standing height of 198 cm and a full width of 2.50 m, it creates an airy feel that's more reminiscent of a small holiday apartment than a classic caravan. The loose-laid, whipped-edge carpet sits on a hard-wearing vinyl floor and is easy to clean when needed.

At the rear sits the French bed, measuring 150 cm x 190 cm. A 7-zone comfort foam mattress on a slatted frame with permanently elastic joint bridges and adjustable firmness provides the ergonomics you need here. The built-in Liftomat lets you lift the bed easily to access the storage space underneath.

At the front is the large round seating group, built with ergonomically shaped upholstery. If needed, you can convert it into an additional sleeping area measuring 142 cm / 121 cm x 224 cm in just a few steps.

Kitchen & bathroom: practical solutions for everyday life

In the functional areas, Fendt relies on proven detail solutions. The L-shaped kitchen offers a practical layout: a 3-burner stove with auto-ignition is installed separately from the stainless steel sink, both fitted with glass covers.

The 157-liter slim tower compressor fridge has a reversible door that opens comfortably from both the seating area and the kitchen. The drawers feature self-closing and soft-close mechanisms.

The central bathroom between the living area and the rear bed, separated from the living space by a folding sliding door, is the heart of this floor plan. It offers a separately usable shower cubicle, a sanitary acrylic washbasin with illuminated mirror cabinets and large overhead cupboards, plus a flush toilet with a diode level indicator.

Technology & four-season comfort: built for winter

One major selling point of the Tendenza 560 SFDW is its standard climate tech. Instead of a basic forced-air heater, Fendt fits the ALDE hot water heating system as standard, including hot water underfloor heating. That gives you even, draft-free warmth throughout the van — especially handy for winter or early spring trips.

• Onboard control: With Fendt CaravanCONNECT, you control the key vehicle functions either via the central TFT touchpanel with its glass finish or through a smartphone app.

• Lighting: A full 12V/230V LED lighting setup with a dimmable ceiling light, indirect storage compartment lighting, and reading spots. The wardrobe even has motion-sensor lighting that switches on automatically.

• Connections: Several dual USB-C sockets for charging smartphones and tablets, plus pre-installed TV wiring.

• Water system: A 45-liter fresh water tank with external filling and a level gauge, plus a wheeled 24-liter wastewater tank.

Conclusion & context

The Fendt Tendenza 560 SFDW is aimed squarely at campers who head out even in colder weather or want to use their caravan for longer stays. The combination of a large central washroom with separate shower, a French rear bed, 2.50 m width, and the ALDE hot water heating makes this a solid year-round model.

At a starting price of €44,470, the Tendenza sits in the upper price bracket. But factor in the generous standard equipment — especially the hot water heating, which many competitors only offer as a pricey option — and that price tag starts to make a lot more sense.

If you're after a well-built, winter-ready caravan with plenty of space, and you've got a tow vehicle rated for 1.8 to 2 tons, the 560 SFDW adds up to a solid overall package.
