Foundation & company history

KABE was founded in 1958 by Swedish entrepreneur Kurt Blomqvist in Tenhult, Småland. The name „KABE“ is made up of the initials of the founder (Kurt Blomqvist) and the term „AB“ („Aktiebolag“, Swedish for public limited company).

Blomqvist initially began with the production of camping accessories and tents before the first self-designed camping trailer was created in 1960. The success of the prototype and the demand for more comfortable solutions led to KABE starting series production of caravans in 1963. The first highly insulated vehicles were developed as early as the 1970s - a response to the harsh Scandinavian winters for which KABE is still known today.

In the 1980s, KABE launched the „Safir“ model, among others, which became a milestone for the brand. The VarioVent® ventilation system and the innovative underfloor heating system were also further developed during this time - both technologies that make KABE vehicles particularly suitable and comfortable in winter.

The 1990s and 2000s were characterized by modernization, the introduction of new model series and the entry into the production of motorhomes (under the name „Travel Master“). Expansion into other European markets was also intensified during this period.

Today, KABE is an internationally recognized brand in the premium segment for leisure vehicles. All vehicles are still produced at the headquarters in Tenhult - with a clear focus on quality, innovation and Scandinavian design.

Specialization & brand philosophy

KABE stands for excellent workmanship, innovative technologies and the highest insulation standards - perfectly suited to cold climates such as Scandinavia. The product range includes luxurious caravans and compact yet comfortable motorhomes that impress with their advanced heating systems, efficient energy supply (often combined with solar solutions) and well thought-out room concepts. Sustainability and the use of high-quality, durable materials are an integral part of the brand philosophy and are reflected in environmentally friendly production methods.

A unique selling point of KABE is the patented VarioVent® system, which regulates the humidity, prevents condensation and thus increases the longevity of the vehicles. Together with the innovative underfloor heating, it ensures pleasant temperatures even in severe frost. All vehicles are manufactured entirely in Sweden, which guarantees the highest quality standards. In addition, KABE continuously invests in new technologies, such as improved insulation materials and energy-efficient systems, to further increase comfort and sustainability.
