Kabe – other caravans: the collective page of caravans from Tenhult outside the named ranges, from Classic and Estate through Briljant and Imperial to Diamant and Ametist, 470 to 630 as length class, GLE, XL and KS trim lines
This page gathers Kabe caravans the register could not assign to a named range. Kabe, founded in 1957 in Tenhult, Sweden, is one of the leading Scandinavian caravan makers, known for a particularly sturdy, cold-resistant construction with double floor insulation for Nordic winter use. The model families carry gemstone and prestige names – Classic, Estate, Briljant, Imperial, Diamant and Ametist mark ascending equipment levels – the three-digit number in the name (470 to 630) denotes, by the maker's logic, the body's length class, GLE, XL and KS the floorplan variant (KS with Nordic makers usually denotes a double, kingsize-style rear bed layout).

The register lists here 182 versions with unladen weights from 697 to 2,668 kg, gross weights from 1,000 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 6,450 to 11,620 mm and widths from 2,190 to 2,510 mm.
Kabe is the market leader in caravans in Scandinavia and, thanks to its cold-weather and chassis technology (its own AL-KO-based chassis with a reinforced axle), popular with customers travelling in winter and to the north; in Central Europe the brand is a niche beside Hobby, Tabbert, Knaus and Adria.
On used caravans, moisture in the floor, walls and roof (seals on windows and roof hatches) matters above all, along with the condition of the axle and the overrun brake, the gas and electrical systems, and on the larger KS and GLE models the condition of the furniture and upholstery; on all model years the axle-inspection history and unbroken servicing of the braking system are worth checking.

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.
