A flagship A-Class motorhome with a 1,050kg payload.
The Dethleffs Globetrotter XL I is a premium A-Class motorhome measuring 8.65m in length, designed for year-round touring. It features a wood-free Lifetime-Plus body construction and is built on an AL-KO wide-track chassis. With a payload of 1,050kg and a GVW of 5,000kg, it offers significant storage and equipment capacity for up to 5 people. Available layouts include island bed, twin bed, and rear lounge options, with prices ranging from 115,000 to 185,000.
- Accommodates between 2 and 5 berths depending on the chosen configuration.
- Built on an AL-KO low-frame chassis with a total length of 8.65m.
- Features a 5,000kg GVW and a substantial 1,050kg payload capacity.
- Equipped with Alde hot water heating and XPS insulation for winter use.
Worth knowing: A C1 category driving licence is mandatory due to the 5,000kg+ MTPLM. The 8.65m length and 2.33m width require careful navigation on narrow roads.
Buying a Dethleffs Globetrotter XL I
Who it suits
- • Year-round tourers who require Alde heating and high-performance insulation.
- • Drivers with a C1 licence who need a high 1,050kg payload for heavy gear.
- • Families or groups requiring up to 5 berths in a luxury A-Class format.
Reasons to consider it
- • The wood-free body construction and XPS insulation provide exceptional winterisation.
- • The AL-KO wide-track chassis and panoramic windscreen enhance long-distance driving dynamics.
- • High-grade interior finishes include premium soft-close cabinetry and a level floor throughout.
What to check
- • Confirm the specific layout, such as the 7850-2 EB island bed or 7850-2 L twin beds.
- • Verify the operation of the electric drop-down over-cab bed and the 70cm habitation door power closing.
- • Inspect the deep double floor for the condition of the frost-protected water installations.
Worth knowing: The vehicle dimensions and 5,000kg weight limit the use of certain rural routes. The price point is significantly higher than standard A-Class models.
Compare the Dethleffs Globetrotter XL I A Class with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dethleffs Globetrotter XL I A Class | 5 | 5400 kg | 8.65 m | £115,000 to £185,000 |
| Adria Supersonic 890 LC 170BHP Auto | 5 | 5500 kg | 8.91 m | £145,000 to £185,000 |
| Swift Kon-Tiki 784 180BHP Auto | 4 | 5000 kg | 8.84 m | £85,000 to £135,000 |
The Dethleffs Globetrotter XL I occupies a specific niche for buyers prioritising German engineering and winter capability. While the Adria Supersonic 890 LC offers a higher MTPLM and greater length, the Globetrotter XL I provides a balanced 1,050kg payload within an 8.65m frame. Compared to the Swift Kon-Tiki range, the Dethleffs commands a higher price premium but includes specialised features like the Lifetime-Plus body and wide-track AL-KO chassis as standard. The choice between these models often depends on the specific requirement for payload versus total vehicle length.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 1,050kg payload to safely store heavy leisure gear in the large garage.
- Regularly test the Alde heating system to ensure the winterproof environment is maintained.
- Make use of the electric blind on the panoramic windscreen to manage internal temperatures.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Underestimating the 3.04m height when approaching low bridges or fuel station canopies.
- • Attempting to drive on a standard B category licence without the required C1 entitlement.
Worth knowing: Always verify the exact MTPLM on the weight plate as specifications can vary by model year.
Alternatives to the Dethleffs Globetrotter XL I A Class
