    Rear Transverse Bed over Garage Motorhomes

    Last updated: 04 August 2026Reviewed by RoamWorthy Editorial Team

    A high-capacity coachbuilt for year-round family touring.

    The Dethleffs XL Family Coachbuilt is a large-scale motorhome designed for groups of four to six people. It features a 5400kg MTPLM, an 8.6m length, and a heated double floor for winter capability. With a 1050kg payload and layouts including U-shaped lounges and bunk beds, it serves as a heavy-duty touring vehicle for those with a C1 driving licence.

    • Six-berth capacity with overcab alcove, rear transverse, or bunk bed layouts.
    • Substantial 5400kg MTPLM providing a 1050kg payload capacity.
    • Frost-proof double floor construction designed for year-round touring.
    • Large rear garage with dual access for storing leisure equipment.
    • AL-KO low-frame chassis and AirPlus ventilation system.

    Worth knowing: A C1 category driving licence is mandatory due to the 5400kg MTPLM. The 8.6m length and 3.27m height require careful navigation on rural roads.

    Buying a Dethleffs XL Family Coachbuilt

    Who it suits

    • • Large families requiring up to six berths and a high 1050kg payload for heavy gear.
    • • Winter tourers who need the insulation provided by a frost-protected double floor.
    • • Drivers with a C1 licence comfortable handling an 8.6m long vehicle.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • German engineering focused on durability for frequent, heavy family use.
    • • Massive storage capacity including a basement area and a large rear garage.
    • • Open-plan living feel with generous internal headroom.

    What to check

    • • Confirm the specific layout as options include Rear Transverse Bed, Rear Bunk Beds, and U-Shaped Lounge.
    • • Verify the operation of the 142-litre fridge and freezer compartment in the gourmet kitchen.
    • • Inspect the 70cm wide habitation door and integrated window for seal integrity.
    • • Ensure the AirPlus ventilation system is clear and functioning to prevent condensation.

    Worth knowing: Fuel consumption is typically higher than smaller low-profile alternatives. The 3.27m height may restrict access to certain car parks or low bridges.

    Compare the Dethleffs XL Family Coachbuilt with similar models

    ModelBerthsMaximum weightLengthTypical price
    Dethleffs XL Family Coachbuilt65400 kg8.60 m£65,000 to £145,000
    Auto-Trail Comanche HB65000 kg8.77 m£65,000 to £125,000
    Swift Kon-Tiki 78465000 kg8.59 m£85,000 to £155,000

    The Dethleffs XL Family Coachbuilt sits at the heavier end of the market with a 5400kg MTPLM, offering more payload than the Swift Kon-Tiki 784 or Auto-Trail Comanche HB, which both sit at 5000kg. While the Dethleffs provides a 1050kg payload, the Itineo SBD700 offers a much lighter 3500kg alternative for those without C1 licence privileges. The Dethleffs is specifically engineered for cold climates with its double floor, whereas the UK-built alternatives often focus on different internal specifications within a similar 8.22m to 8.77m length range.

    Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

    Ownership and Maintenance Tips

    • Utilise the 1050kg payload to distribute weight evenly across the double floor storage.
    • Make use of the dual-access garage to organise large items without unloading the entire space.
    • Monitor the frost-protected plumbing during winter trips to ensure maximum efficiency.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Attempting to drive on a standard B category licence; this vehicle requires C1 due to its 5400kg weight.
    • • Underestimating the 8.6m length when planning routes through narrow rural lanes.

    Worth knowing: Always verify the exact vehicle height before entering restricted routes.
