Chateau Anhänger bis 3,5 t (Class O2) – Dutch caravan brand of class O2 with Comfort, Elite and Grand Prix trim lines, 490 to 1,610 kg kerb weight
Class O2 also includes caravans registered as trailers up to 3.5 t gross vehicle weight. Chateau is a Dutch caravan brand with several trim lines visible in the model names: "Comfort" and "Elite" as upmarket versions, "Grand Prix" and "Touring Elite" as sporty, prestige ranges, the "C" at the end of the name presumably standing for "Caravan". The three-digit type numbers (such as 350, 380, 406) order the size within the respective model generation.

The register lists 86 versions with kerb weights from 490 to 1,610 kg, gross vehicle weights from 800 to 1,800 kg, widths from 1,880 to 2,500 mm and, for around half the models, lengths from 4,490 to 7,600 mm.
Like other caravan brands of weight class O2, Chateau can still be towed in many European countries on an ordinary car licence, as long as the combined train weight does not exceed the national limit; the model variety, from entry-level to "Royal" or "Grand Prix" trim, targets different buyer groups.
Used, what counts is a moisture check on walls, floor and roof, the condition of windows, roof hatches and seals, the function of the gas system and heating, the condition of the axle and overrun brake, and a valid roadworthiness sticker; spare parts are mainly stocked by the specialist caravan trade.

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.
