Compare the Dethleffs XL Family A Class with similar models
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dethleffs XL Family A Class | 6 | 5400 kg | 8.50 m | £75,000 to £165,000 |
| Swift Kon-Tiki 874 180BHP Auto | 6 | 5000 kg | 8.22 m | £85,000 to £135,000 |
| Bailey Autograph 79 6 | 6 | 3850 kg | 7.98 m | £45,000 to £75,000 |
The Dethleffs XL Family A Class sits at the upper end of the market with a price range reaching 165000 and a substantial 5400kg MTPLM. Compared to alternatives like the Bailey Autograph 79 6 or the Swift Kon-Tiki 874, the Dethleffs offers a higher payload of 1200kg and a longer 8.5m frame. While the Bailey models provide six berths at a lower weight and price point, the Dethleffs focuses on winter-proof capabilities and German construction standards. The choice between these models depends on whether the buyer prioritises the Dethleffs' high payload and thermal performance over the lighter, more compact dimensions of its competitors.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 1200kg payload to store heavy items in the large rear garage to maintain stability.
- Regularly test the ALDE warm water system to ensure consistent heating during winter trips.
- Make use of the heated double floor for storing temperature-sensitive items in cold weather.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Underestimating the turning circle required for an 8.5m long vehicle on an AL-KO chassis.
- • Exceeding the 5400kg MTPLM if additional heavy aftermarket accessories are installed.
Worth knowing: The 3.05m height must be considered when approaching low bridges or height-restricted car parks.
