Knaus O2-class caravans – Knaus Tabbert-group trailers from Jandelsbrunn up to 3.5 t gross weight: numeric series codes, Sport & Fun trim line, weights from 390 to 2,030 kg, lengths up to 9.64 m
Like Tabbert, Knaus belongs to the Knaus Tabbert Group, headquartered in Jandelsbrunn in the Bavarian Forest, and is one of the larger German caravan brands. The “Class O2” collector page lists every Knaus model recorded in the registration data from the Netherlands and Finland as an EU Class O2 trailer, with a gross weight of 0.75 to 3.5 tonnes. The type logic mostly uses four-digit numeric codes for series and floorplan (e.g. 1101, 2104), supplemented by trim lines such as Sport & Fun for the youth-oriented entry-level models.

The register lists 846 versions with unladen weights from 390 to 2,030 kg, gross weights from 800 to 2,900 kg and widths from 1,900 to 2,880 mm; length figures are available for 130 vehicles and range from 4,570 to 9,640 mm.
Knaus is positioned in the mid to upper price segment, competing mainly with Hobby, Dethleffs and its own sister brand Tabbert; within the Knaus Tabbert Group, Knaus usually covers the younger, sportier brand image. The width range extending to 2,880 mm shows that wider models with more interior space are also part of the stock.
When buying used, check for moisture at the floor, wall and roof joints, the condition of window and roof-hatch seals, and a valid gas-system inspection. The hitch coupling and brakes, including the handbrake cable, belong on the list too, as does tyre age under the six-year rule regardless of tread condition. Tap the floor panel for soft spots and check the 12 V and 230 V electrics; parts for current models are supplied through the Knaus Tabbert dealer network, while older series rely on independent caravan workshops.

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.
