Tabbert PEAT for the 60th anniversary of the brand
Tabbert celebrates his 60th birthday this year. This is a good excuse to launch a new model on the market. The name of the new trailer is PEAT and stands for "Alfred Tabbert's Private Edition". In this way, the brand decided to honor the memory of its founder.
Since this trailer is named after the first vehicle designer of the Tabbert brand, we should not be surprised that the appearance of PEAT is more classic than that of other models.
The fact that we are dealing with this particular brand is proven by details that are difficult to miss - for example, the characteristic rear lights with a coat of arms placed between them, which also serves as a logo. On the other side of the trailer there is a spacious storage compartment for two gas cylinders.
Sizes and prices
Price-wise, PEAT is slightly above the cheapest Da Vinci model , which starts at EUR 17,990. The new Tabbert model costs at least EUR 21,690 (in Germany).
This model uses a thick (48 mm), well-insulated roof, which ensures tightness and suppresses noise well. The walls, roof and floor are attached with special screws, which avoids the use of connections that could transmit heat or contribute to unpleasant ailments in the future, such as susceptibility to moisture. Tabbert trailers have a 6-year warranty on body tightness.
PEAT is available in sizes from 689 to 807 centimeters. The permissible total weight is from 1,500 to 1,700 kg.
Equipment
The trailer is available in four interior layouts, including one with a bunk bed . Part of the caravan with double or single beds is partially obscured by furniture overlooking the living area. Thanks to this, the bedroom was minimally separated. The beds use foam mattresses .
In terms of fabrics used, customers can choose from two upholstery patterns. They were named Alfredo (in honor of the brand's founder) and Emmy (in honor of his wife).
The interior combines traditional and modern elements, but generally designed in line with current trends. The class of the vehicle can be recognized by the high-quality materials used and the chrome-plated handles. The distinguishing features of the trailer include two round analog clocks placed above the entrance door - one indicates the time, the other the pressure.
As befits a modern trailer, the interior is equipped with LED lighting. As standard, we will also receive USB sockets adapted to charging smartphones. The 170-liter refrigerator has a removable freezer with a capacity of 20 liters. Under the fridge you will find a special 55-liter drawer for storing e.g. vegetables and fruit. The temperature is maintained at approximately 12 degrees Celsius.
The fresh water tank is not very capacious - it holds 45 liters. Depending on the length of the vehicle, S3004 or S5004 heating was used. There are as many as 5 230 V sockets in the trailer.
In addition to the standard equipment, additional packages are also available, such as the "60th Anniversary Package" (including a lighting installation with a motion sensor) or the 12V Power Package (with a charger and an 80 Ah gel battery).
To sum up, PEAT is a solid and modern trailer that will certainly not bring shame to the name of the founder of the brand, which is now part of the very extensive Knaus Tabbert group. The only thing one could wish for is slightly more extensive standard equipment, especially larger water containers.
