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
| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dethleffs XL Family Coachbuilt | 6 | 5400 kg | 8.60 m | £65,000 to £145,000 |
| Auto-Trail Comanche HB | 6 | 5000 kg | 8.77 m | £65,000 to £125,000 |
| Swift Kon-Tiki 784 | 6 | 5000 kg | 8.59 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.
