KABE 2024 Motorhomes 1
With a focus on safety We have developed both pas
sive safety systems (collision safety) and equipped our motorhomes with several active safety systems. PASSIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS (Collision Safety) Solid body: The driver’s cab and living section are joined with a steel structure. The walls and the front of the motorhome are built with the “sandwich” principle to maximize torsional rigidity. The A-column is made with one piece solid construction. The steel structure is joined to the driver's cab with solid steel plates, which provides a strong attachment to the living section. The inner walls are joined to the outer walls with an F-shaped aluminium profile. Unique construction of the passenger sofa prevents passengers from sliding under the seat belt: The sofa is equipped with a metal frame that hooks into a groove on the underside of the cushions and prevents the cushion from sliding away in the event of a collision. Steel frame inside the sofa: The belted seats have a reinforced metal frame inside the sofa base to avoid collapse of the sofa in the event of a collision. The metal frame also holds the water tank securely in place. The sofa itself is integrated with the water tank enclosure, which is firmly anchored to the floor. This reduces the risk of the sofa breaking or detaching from the floor in the event of a collision. Collision proof refrigerator with a steel beam (applies to certain models depending on the location of the refrigerator). Steel frame around the battery: A new, robust metal frame keeps the living area's battery securely in place, even in the event of a collision. Foldaway table top: The table can be folded down (or removed in Van) to create more space between the driver's front seat and the passenger sofa to provide a safer ride. ACTIVE SAFETY SYSTEMS (Accident Prevention Systems) All of our model-series are built on a base from MercedesBenz, with elaborate comfort and superior safety. Nothing is left to chance and a number of technical solutions provide you with a safe and excellent experience on the road. Every motorhome from KABE includes a Heavy-Duty engine, automatic brakes, high beam assistant, side wind assistant (not for tandem models) attention assist and rain sensor. Lane departure warning is included in KABE Novum, Royal and Van. If you add the Comfort Package (available as an option for our Novum and Royal models), road sign assistant, high beam assistant and Thermotronic in the driver’s cab are included. KABE Van includes parking sensors and collision avoidance sensors. In fully integrated vehicles with a tandem axle, the total weight is 5,500 kg.
