Is the Dethleffs Globebus Camp Active a practical choice?
The Dethleffs Globebus Camp Active is a slimline coachbuilt motorhome designed for agility and year-round touring. With a width of 2.2m and a length of 5.99m, it combines the manoeuvrability of a van conversion with the insulation of a coachbuilt vehicle. It offers a significant payload of 720kg and is available in layouts featuring transverse or twin single beds.
- Compact 2.2m width for easier navigation on narrow roads.
- High payload capacity of 720kg for equipment and luggage.
- Available in Transverse Bed and Twin Single Beds layouts.
- Built on a premium Fiat Ducato or Citroen Jumper chassis.
- Heated rear garage designed for secure sports gear storage.
Worth knowing: The narrow 2.2m body results in a tighter interior aisle. Bathroom footprint is smaller than those found in larger Dethleffs ranges. Used market availability is limited due to high demand.
Buying a Dethleffs Globebus Camp Active
Who it suits
- Couples who require a high payload for long-term touring.
- Drivers who frequently navigate narrow rural roads and require a 2.2m width.
- Outdoor enthusiasts needing a secure, heated space for equipment.
Reasons to consider it
- Superior insulation and build quality suitable for use in all seasons.
- High specification 'Active' trim provides enhanced value compared to base models.

What to check

Worth knowing: Interior space is optimised for two people; a third berth is optional but may feel cramped. Check the specific chassis manufacturer as models use either Fiat or Citroen.

| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dethleffs Globebus Camp Active | 3 | 3500 kg | 5.99 m | £45,000 to £78,000 |

The Dethleffs Globebus Camp Active occupies a specific niche between van conversions and full-sized coachbuilt motorhomes. While alternatives like the Rapido V55 or Elddis Evolution CV40 offer similar lengths and berth counts, the Globebus distinguishes itself with its 2.2m slimline coachbuilt body and 720kg payload. Buyers must weigh the benefit of its agile dimensions against the narrower interior aisle and compact bathroom footprint.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the 720kg payload to distribute weight evenly, especially when using the rear garage.
- Take advantage of the 2.2m width when route planning for narrow UK rural lanes.
- Regularly check the LED interior lighting and German kitchen appliances for optimal performance.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Assuming all models have three berths; some are configured as two-berth units.
- Overlooking the narrow aisle width when planning for more than two occupants.
Worth knowing: The 2.81m height requires awareness of low bridges and height-restricted car parks. Payload should be monitored if adding heavy optional extras despite the 720kg limit.
