NEW KABE 2024 KABE’s Swedish market shares have d
eveloped positively. In the first half of 2023, KABE was Sweden’s most widely sold caravan. The market share was 25%! On the motorhome side too, we have marched forwards. With a 7% share, we are now Sweden’s second most popular motorhome. Our shares in the other Scandinavian markets have grown too. Development has also been positive in export markets outside Scandinavia. It is especially pleasing that demanding German customers are becoming aware of Swedish KABE and all it offers. Germany is now our largest market after Sweden! Caravans from 470 to 1,000 centimetres On the caravan side, KABE offers four model series, each with its own specific advantages and features. These series are: Estate (popular entry-level and family caravans); Gemstone (well-regarded classics); Royal (majestically equipped); and, Imperial (elegant, premium caravans). “We offer caravans in lengths from 470 to 1,000 cm. Additionally, with KABE’s sophisticated Flexline system, everyone can find a floor layout that suits them,” says Joakim Karlsson, sales manager, KABE. The 2024 Gemstone series is being expanded with the possibility of choosing a bedroom layout that has, at the rear of the caravan, a central double bed that can be got into from both sides. Ametist 560 GLE, Safir 600 GLE and Onyx GLE will also be offering this variant. Kitchen corner and spacious bathroom A year ago, KABE presented a new caravan kitchen. Built into a corner, this was partnered by extra-large and inviting lounge seating with, for a bigger TV, a height adjustable mount that folds away into a backrest when not in use. “We introduced the new floor layout in our Royal and Imperial 600 caravans. The response was immediately very positive. In 2024, we’re expanding with a slightly bigger model, the 740 CTDL. Here, the lovely Imperial 740 TDL Royal/Imperial 740 CTDL Imperial 740 CTDL Imperial 740 TDL kitchen corner and sofa are partnered by KABE’s beautiful bathroom solution with a separate shower cubicle at the very back along the entire width of the caravan.” Joakim believes that Royal and Imperial 740 CTDL can become a new favourite with many users who use their caravans very often and throughout the year. “It has a large kitchen, a truly spacious bathroom and plenty of room for socialising and cosy TV evenings. Quite simply, a topspec caravan made for living in!” Knott chassis With our 2024 models, KABE will be able to offer a single-axle chassis with a gross weight of 2,300 kg. Jointly developed with Knott, the chassis and axle are the first of their type on caravans. This chassis enables customers to carry heavier loads without compromising manoeuvrability when parking up. The chassis will be offered in 600 – 630 cm versions for Gemstone, Royal and Imperial caravans.
