WILK trailers up to 3.5 t – class O2: German touring caravans formerly based in Kirchheim unter Teck, later part of Knaus Tabbert, weights from 532 to 1,790 kg
WILK was a German touring caravan maker, originally based in Kirchheim unter Teck, whose brand was later absorbed into the Knaus Tabbert group. WILK type names are mostly numeric codes without a consistent scheme, sometimes supplemented with names such as Stern or Safari; in the O2 vehicle class – trailers with a gross weight of 0.75 to 3.5 tonnes – only the brand's touring caravan models appear.

The register lists 391 versions with unladen weights from 532 to 1,790 kg and gross weights from 760 to 2,000 kg. Lengths are recorded for 67 models and range from 5,500 to 9,060 mm, widths from 1,920 to 2,550 mm.
WILK positioned itself in the mid to entry price segment of the German caravan market, competing with brands such as Knaus, Tabbert and Wolf before the standalone brand was discontinued. The mostly numeric type plates without a name suffix are typical of many smaller caravan makers of that era, which did without an elaborate model-naming programme.
When buying these often older caravans, check especially for damp on the floor, walls and around the roof lights, the condition of window seals, the gas system with regulator and inspection sticker, the overrun brake mechanism, and tyre age. As the brand no longer exists independently, parts supply is limited and relies mainly on universal spares and the general caravan trade.

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.
