Caravelair trailers up to 3.5 t – class O2: French touring caravans from the Trigano group in the register, A 4004-style type codes, weights from 524 to 1,980 kg
Caravelair is a French touring caravan brand belonging to the Trigano group, Europe's largest maker of caravans and motorhomes. The O2 vehicle class covers trailers with a gross weight of 0.75 to 3.5 tonnes, which includes every touring caravan the brand makes. Caravelair type names usually follow the pattern of a letter A plus a four-digit number, such as A 4004 or A 4204, with the digits coding body size and equipment level; older models also carry simple numeric codes such as 400 or 470.

The register lists 340 versions with unladen weights from 524 to 1,980 kg and gross weights from 795 to 2,090 kg. Lengths are recorded for 128 models and range from 4,640 to 8,080 mm.
Caravelair positions itself in the value-conscious segment of the caravan market, competing chiefly with other Trigano brands as well as Hobby and Knaus; the range targets buyers looking for a light caravan that a typical mid-size car can tow.
When buying used, check for damp on the floor and around the roof lights, the condition of window and door seals, the gas system with regulator and inspection sticker, the overrun brake mechanism with its linkage, and tyre age, which is easily underestimated on lightly used caravans. Given the comparatively low unladen weight of many models, it is also worth checking the frame for damage from past overloading.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
