Kabe trailers up to 3.5 t – class O2: Swedish touring caravans from Tenhult in the register, Ametist and Briljant lines, weights from 420 to 2,426 kg
Kabe is a Swedish touring caravan maker based in Tenhult near Jönköping and one of Scandinavia's most established caravan brands. Kabe type names are built around its own model lines with names such as Ametist or Briljant, combined with letter codes for equipment levels like GLE, XL or KS and a number for floor plan length. In the O2 vehicle class – trailers with a gross weight of 0.75 to 3.5 tonnes – Kabe's entries are exclusively these touring caravans.

The register lists 342 versions with unladen weights from 420 to 2,426 kg and gross weights from 850 to 2,800 kg. Lengths are recorded for 338 models and range from 3,660 to 11,600 mm, widths from 1,265 to 2,510 mm.
Kabe is regarded in Scandinavia as one of the leading brands for winter-capable caravans with reinforced insulation, competing chiefly with Polar and Cabby as well as German import brands such as Hobby and Tabbert. Gemstone names such as Ametist and Briljant have marked its model lines for decades, with the letter suffixes for equipment level carried across many model years.
When buying used, check for damp on the floor and around the roof lights, the condition of window and door seals, the gas system with its regulator, the overrun brake mechanism and handbrake, and tyre age. On models built for the Nordic market, it is also worth checking the insulation and any frost damage to water pipes, since these caravans were often used year-round.
