Tabbert O2-class caravans – Knaus Tabbert-group trailers from Jandelsbrunn up to 3.5 t gross weight: historic Comtesse and Baronesse trim lines, weights from 350 to 2,944 kg, lengths up to 10.27 m
Since merging with Knaus, Tabbert has belonged to the Knaus Tabbert Group, headquartered in Jandelsbrunn in the Bavarian Forest, and is one of Germany's longest-established caravan brands. The “Class O2” collector page lists every Tabbert 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 older stock includes trim lines with aristocratic titles such as Comtesse and Baronesse, a naming scheme Tabbert used to underline its upmarket positioning, alongside numerous plain numeric codes for series and floorplan.

The register lists 784 versions with unladen weights from 350 to 2,944 kg, gross weights from 800 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,940 to 2,550 mm; length figures are available for 186 vehicles and range from 4,750 to 10,270 mm.
Tabbert has traditionally positioned itself in the upper segment of the German caravan market, above high-volume brands such as Hobby and Dethleffs, competing mainly with Bürstner and the Hymer group. The wide weight range, reaching close to 3 tonnes gross weight, reflects both light entry-level models and heavy family caravans with fixed double beds and elaborate fit-out.
When buying used, check for moisture at the floor, wall and roof joints and the condition of window and roof-hatch seals, especially on the older, often lavishly equipped Comtesse and Baronesse models. Add a valid gas-system inspection, the hitch coupling and brakes including the handbrake cable, and tyre age under the six-year rule. Check the floor panel for soft spots and test the 12 V and 230 V electrics; parts for older series are often only available through independent workshops, while current models are covered by the Knaus Tabbert dealer network.

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.
