Is the Tabbert 685 a suitable choice for long-term touring?
The Tabbert 685 is a high-specification twin-axle caravan designed for four to five occupants. With a length of 8.91 metres and a 2500kg MTPLM, it is engineered for stability and year-round comfort, featuring a specialised roof for thermal and acoustic insulation.

- Patented Tabbert roof designed for sound insulation and climate control.
- Truma Combi 6 heating system with an integrated boiler.

The Tabbert 685 sits at the upper end of the market, offering a 2500kg MTPLM and 8.91 metre length that rivals the LMC 695 in scale. While the Swift Elegance and Bessacarr By Design 835 offer premium four-berth layouts at a shorter length, the Tabbert focuses on heavy-duty construction and specialised insulation. It provides a middle ground in berth capacity between the four-berth luxury models and the six-berth LMC alternatives, prioritising internal volume and towing stability via its twin-axle chassis.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the heavy-duty crank supports whenever the caravan is stationary for extended periods.
- Regularly test the Truma Combi 6 heating system to ensure year-round climate control.
- Clean the high-gloss finishes and premium upholstery with recommended non-abrasive products.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating the turning circle required for an 8.91 metre total length.
- Exceeding the 2500kg MTPLM by not accounting for the 520kg payload limit.
Worth knowing: The 2.65 metre height must be considered when planning routes with low bridges. Payload should be distributed carefully to maintain the stability of the twin-axle setup.
