Fendt Caravan touring caravans up to 3.5 t (Class O2) – Apero to Brillant trim lines: upmarket trailers from Mertingen, weights from 805 to 2,280 kg, gross weight from 1,000 to 2,800 kg
Fendt Caravan, based in Mertingen in Bavaria, is a separate company despite sharing its name with the tractor maker Fendt (AGCO), from which it is independent, and belongs to the Hymer/Erwin Hymer Group. The “Class O2” collector page lists Fendt Caravan models recorded in the registration data from the Netherlands and Finland as EU Class O2 trailers, with a gross weight of 0.75 to 3.5 tonnes. The type logic combines numeric codes for series and floorplan with trim lines from Apero (entry level) through Bianco up to Platin, Diamant and Brillant as the top tiers, visible in designations such as “495 TG PLATIN” and “590 FSD BRILLANT”.

The register lists 268 versions with unladen weights from 805 to 2,280 kg, gross weights from 1,000 to 2,800 kg and widths from 2,100 to 2,550 mm; length figures are available for 190 vehicles and range from 5,850 to 9,340 mm. The high minimum weight shows that light small models are absent; the focus lies on medium to large family caravans with sturdy construction.
The five-tier naming from Apero to Brillant acts as an equipment and price ladder above the plain floorplan number, similar to the trim lines of other Hymer brands such as Bürstner (Ventana) or Eriba (GT, Nova), only more finely graded. In the market, Fendt Caravan is positioned in the upper segment, alongside Tabbert and Bürstner.
When buying used, particularly on the often lavishly equipped Platin, Diamant and Brillant models, moisture at the floor, wall and roof joints takes priority, along with window and roof-hatch seals and the silicone joints around add-on fittings, where leaks show up first. Add a valid gas-system inspection, the hitch coupling, brakes and tyre age under the six-year rule. Tap the floor panel for soft spots and check the 12 V and 230 V electrics; parts are supplied through the Fendt Caravan dealer network within the Hymer Group.

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.
