This page gathers 136 Home-Car models that the register could not assign to a named series. Home-Car is a Polish caravan manufacturer; the type list runs from two-digit codes such as 32 or 38 through three-digit types such as 380 and 440 to suffixes like H, III and IV B, which point to trim level and production generation.

The register lists 136 versions here with a kerb weight of 164 to 1,780 kg and a gross weight of 780 to 2,550 kg. Widths range from 1,980 to 2,550 mm, lengths from 5,030 to 8,240 mm.
The weight spread up to 2.55 tonnes and the lengths typical of caravans show that the page covers mainly caravan bodies on a trailer chassis, towable as O2-class trailers on an ordinary car licence. Such caravans shaped the central and eastern European caravanning market for decades as an affordable alternative to western European brands.
When buying a used caravan, checking the roof, windows and floor for damp comes first, since water ingress damages the timber structure from the inside without immediately showing on the outside. The chassis, axle and overrun brake should be checked for rust and function, as should the gas system and wiring; parts for common axles and fittings are available through the general caravan trade, while caravan-specific interior fittings are often only found second-hand.

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.
