LMC O2-class caravans – Sassenberg-built trailers of the Erwin Hymer Group up to 3.5 t gross weight: Dominant trim line, weights from 600 to 2,180 kg, lengths up to 9.57 m
LMC, based in Sassenberg in North Rhine-Westphalia, belongs to the Erwin Hymer Group and is one of the long-established German caravan brands. The “Class O2” collector page lists every LMC 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 uses numeric codes for series and floorplan, supplemented by trim lines such as Dominant, which appears in the register as its own model designation.

The register lists 441 versions with unladen weights from 600 to 2,180 kg, gross weights from 800 to 2,600 kg and widths from 2,050 to 2,570 mm; length figures are available for 211 vehicles and range from 4,790 to 9,570 mm.
Within the Erwin Hymer Group, LMC is positioned alongside Bürstner and Eriba in the mid-price segment and competes mainly with Hobby and Dethleffs. The comparatively high minimum weight of 600 kg shows that very light entry-level models are barely represented in the recorded 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. Tap the floor panel for soft spots and check the 12 V and 230 V electrics; parts for current models are supplied through the LMC dealer network within the Hymer Group, 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.
