KABE news 2025 - Sleek Motorhomes and Smart Caravans

– KABE launches its widest model range ever

For the 2025 model year, KABE presents a number of interesting new motorhome and caravan models. The new slimmed-down Novum Compact, the relaunch of the entry-level Classic model on a Fiat chassis, and the first fully integrated motorhome with twin wheels are some of the year's hottest motorhome news. In the caravan range, the entry-level Estate series gets an exterior design upgrade, and all KABE caravans are equipped with a new modern kitchen and smart TV solutions.

The year 2023 was one of the best in KABE Group's history. The growing interest in sustainable and climate-neutral holidays – and especially in vacationing domestically, so-called staycations – has further strengthened KABE's position as a market-leading manufacturer of caravans and motorhomes in Scandinavia. In the caravan segment, KABE holds an impressive 24 percent share of the Swedish market, while the figure for motorhomes is 7 percent. Additionally, the company's focus on export has been very successful, with sales to Benelux, Germany and Great Britain increasing significantly. An official recognition of the brand's qualities came in January 2024 when KABE received several prestigious awards at the CMT fair in Stuttgart. A total of six awards were won in the prestigious competition, including the title of "Caravan of the Year 2024."

KABE Novum Compact – shorter, narrower, more agile

KABE Novum is an affordable semi-integrated model with a total weight of 3.5 tons, built on a Mercedes Sprinter with an AL-KO chassis and well-equipped with full KABE standard. Now, the Novum Compact is launched, a new segment in KABE's already wide motorhome program. The model is 716 centimeters long and 224 centimeters wide, 29 centimeters shorter and 15 centimeters narrower than the regular Novum.

– The demand for compact motorhomes is growing rapidly and with the Novum Compact we meet a need for many customers. A slightly shorter, slightly narrower, and slightly more agile motorhome that is easy to navigate on roads and campsites, says Peter Vlaanderen, sales manager for several European countries.

The Novum Compact is released in two layouts – LXL and LGB. The LXL has a French bed (196x132) while the LGB is equipped with single beds (196x78). Both layouts have face-to-face sofas, a straight kitchen with a workbench, a gas stove, and a kitchen fan, as well as a bathroom with a toilet, sink, and shower. The only practical differences in the interior between the Novum Compact and the regular Novum are that the fridge is narrower.

Easy to Maneuver
The compact dimensions combined with smart material choices give the Novum Compact a load capacity of about 500 kilos, which is impressive for a premium model with water-borne Alde heating. The Novum Compact is the smallest motorhome in KABE's model range but does not compromise on the core values that have always characterized the Swedish producer.
– This is a really good motorhome to travel around with. We believe it will appeal to a customer who may have had a van and wants to step up in size without buying a full-width motorhome, says Peter Vlaanderen.
The Novum Compact can be ordered with two equipment packages. The heavy package with a total weight of 4.5 tons or a Royal package with extra equipment such as a 170-horsepower engine, KABE Air Vent, the AGS II Pro floor heating system, leather steering wheel, wireless charging pad, and extra speakers.

KABE Ri810 LGB – tow heavy trailers with twin wheels

For the first time, KABE is launching a fully integrated motorhome with twin wheels, meaning dual rear wheels mounted on the same axle. The reason is the increased need to be able to tow heavier trailers.


– Active motorhome owners with hobbies such as horses, boats, motorcycles, or racing cars want the possibility to tow heavy trailers with their motorhome, says Mikael Blomqvist, CEO of KABE.

The new KABE Ri810 LGB with twin wheels has a maximum train weight of 7 tons, which is the highest permitted combined gross weight for car and trailer together. The towing weight is up to 2 tons. The model, built on a Mercedes Sprinter with Mercedes' own chassis with frame rails, can be equipped with a 190-horsepower engine.

– The powerful engine combined with rear-wheel drive provides very good accessibility, especially in winter conditions or on slippery surfaces, says Mikael.

The KABE Ri810 is available in both Crown and Imperial versions with an LGB layout with a queen bed, angled kitchen, adjustable double bed, and a seperate shower and toilet.

KABE Travel Master Classic 740 – a much-anticipated comeback

This year, the Travel Master Classic 740 is being relaunched in KABE's model range. The Classic, which was a great success as an entry-level model from 2015-2022, is back with a new exterior look and new specifications but with the same proven and appreciated concept. Built on the brand new Fiat Ducato chassis with a 140-horsepower engine, 8-speed automatic transmission, and a convenient 740-length, the series offers good driving characteristics and a car-like driving experience. The TMC 740 has a new exterior design with unique decorations in the classic KABE colors red and black. The gray-painted driver's cab contributes to giving the series a fresh exterior expression.

Three Layouts
The new Classic is launched in three familiar layouts; LXL with a French bed and the single bed variants LGB and T. All three models are semi-integrated motorhomes in the 3.5-ton class and can be driven with a regular B driving license.

– The new Classic is probably the market's most affordable model series with patented KABE quality, year-round capabilities, modern technology, and good motorhome economy, says Mikael Blomqvist, CEO of KABE.

The Classic can be ordered with three different option packages – a safety package, a heavy package with a total weight of 4250 kilos, and a heavy package with a total weight of 4400 kilos and a 180-horsepower engine.

KABE Van – design upgrade and new off-road package

This year marks five years since KABE launched its first Van model. It has quickly become popular, not least for its good winter characteristics, excellent ride comfort, and stylish design. For the 2025 model year, the exterior design has been updated with larger decorative panels that give a sporty impression. Recently, an off-road package was introduced for the 2023 and 2024 KABE Van models. It includes 18-inch off-road tires and rims, fender flares, and a robust front bar. For 2025, this package is expanded with, among other things, electrical side steps, a practical as well as a design-enhancing addition.

– The off-road package makes it easier in hard-to-reach areas. But the exterior impression also becomes more impressive, it is of course also a design issue, says Peter Vlaanderen, sales manager for several European countries.

Another new feature is the unique height-adjustable TV mount, placed between the front toilet wall and the back of the seating group. With a simple push of a button, the TV is raised or lowered. Other new features on the KABE Van include an upgraded seating group with a new belt buckle with an adjustable headrest and a larger freshwater tank of 91 liters.

Other Motorhome News

For the 2025 model year, the garage in all of KABE's fully integrated motorhomes has been updated. The rear part of the garage has been redesigned, resulting in a more spacious storage area. This also means that the garage doors have been made larger, both in width and height. The garage doors are now 118 cm high and 95 cm wide, which is 12.5 cm higher and 18 cm wider than before (does not apply to the 790 models and Imperial 910 GB/QB). Furthermore, all KABE motorhomes built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter have been updated with new advanced safety systems. This benefits especially the fully integrated models which are now equipped with Active Lane Keeping Assist (which helps keep the vehicle in the correct lane), Crosswind Assist (which counteracts side winds), and Tire Pressure Monitoring (which monitors tire pressure).

KABE Caravans 2025

KABE Estate - Stylish Facelift

KABE markets five different model series within caravans - from the entry-level Estate to the exclusive Imperial caravan, which is actually the most exclusive caravan model in all of Europe. The wide range and high quality have made KABE the best-selling caravan in Sweden during 2023 with a market share of 24 percent. One of the year's new features can be found in the modern Estate series, which meets the 2025 model year with a new fresh look. The affordable Estate series was launched in 2022 and particularly appeals to new campers and younger families. The sleek design and modern styling stand out, not least the attractive overhead cabinets that set the tone for the entire caravan. Last year, the overhead cabinets were further improved with new doors in the Grau foil with wood edge and black stripe.

New Exterior
The KABE Estate gets a new sporty exterior design for the 2025 model year.
– The series gets a completely new decal set with a 3D feel that makes a stylish statement, says Peter Vlaanderen, sales manager for several European countries. Last year's straight design is replaced with sweeping lines that signal speed and forward movement. As before, the Estate has a lot of standard equipment, including water-borne floor heating with Alde Compact boiler, TV antenna, stereo, built-in speakers, router, USB ports, and a ski locker with an exterior lockable door. The KABE Estate is available in thirteen layouts.

Smart TV Solution for All Caravans

Many want to be able to watch their favorite series even on the go. Therefore, the TV solution is something KABE has prioritized in this year's model program.

– All caravans now have an entrance with a new construction. The TV stand is placed on the wall at the entrance and can be easily swung out, explains Peter Vlaanderen.

The new design makes it possible to have a TV up to 32 inches in size. The CTDL and CXL layouts retain their smart TV solution with the height-adjustable TV mount placed in the backrest of the seating area. Here you can raise or lower the TV with a simple push of a button. As standard in all KABE caravans, a TV antenna with an amplifier and a router that makes it easy to use streaming services are included.

Stylish and Functional Kitchens

For the 2025 model year, the kitchen in all KABE caravans gets a tasteful update that enhances the experience in perhaps the most important space in a recreational vehicle.

– The kitchen is often the heart of a caravan. Interest in cooking on vacation is increasing and with this year's kitchen news, we improve both function and aesthetics, says Peter Vlaanderen.

The focus has been on clean lines and seamless transitions. The gables and moldings have been made less visible to give a homogeneous impression. The kitchen drawers have overlay black handles that blend in nicely. On the Royal and Imperial, there is a spacer at the bottom with lighting. The spacer provides room for your feet, which creates a better working position at the kitchen counter.

Gas-under-Glass Cooktop – Unique Innovation!

The luxurious Imperial caravans get the exclusive kitchen faucet that we recognize from last year's Imperial motorhomes. In the Imperial, we find another interesting innovation, namely the Gas-under-Glass cooktop. It has two gas burners and an induction plate – all neatly hidden under the smooth cooktop.

– It is both aesthetically pleasing and simplifies cleaning. Gas-under-Glass is an exciting innovation that we are the first to introduce to the caravan market, says Peter Vlaanderen.

New Corner Kitchen

Additionally, a completely new corner kitchen is offered as an option on the 560 XL and 600 XL models in the Gemstone, Royal, and Imperial series. In the Gemstone and Royal series, KABE has developed a new module with a corner cooker for the smaller kitchens.

– The oven is also new, a stylish model with a glass front that gives a modern impression, adds Peter. Four models in the Gemstone series get a new straight cooker. The Estate is also updated with a straight cooker with three gas burners. As an option in the smaller Royal caravans, there is a cooker with two gas burners and an induction plate. This year, most KABE caravans are equipped with refrigerators from Thetford. Another improvement is that all caravans now come with the large refrigerator as standard.
