Dethleffs Globebus 2: compact two-berth motorhome overview
The Dethleffs Globebus 2 is a two-berth compact coachbuilt motorhome with a transverse bed and low-profile layout. Its stated dimensions are 5.99 metres long, 2.15 metres wide and 2.62 metres high, with a recorded payload of 779 kilograms. That combination suits buyers seeking a relatively narrow motorhome with dedicated sleeping accommodation, although the compact bathroom and limited lounge floor space need checking in person.
- Two berths, with a transverse-bed layout intended for travelling as a couple.
- The 2.15-metre width is narrower than many conventional coachbuilt motorhomes, which may help with manoeuvring and parking.
- At 5.99 metres long, it remains close to six metres while offering a dedicated rear sleeping arrangement.
- The recorded payload is 779 kilograms, subject to confirmation for the specific vehicle, trim and equipment.
- The supplied editorial identifies a two-burner hob, fridge, swivelling cab seats, LED ambient lighting and Truma Combi heating, but equipment should be verified on the individual vehicle.
Worth knowing: Specifications can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment. The supplied data records both 3,499 kilograms MTPLM and 3,495 kilograms GVW. Confirm the applicable plated weight and payload for the vehicle being considered. There are currently no recorded marketplace listings for this model on the supplied data.
Who should consider the Dethleffs Globebus 2
Who it suits
- Couples wanting a two-berth motorhome rather than accommodation for a larger travelling group.
- Buyers prioritising a 2.15-metre body width and a length of 5.99 metres for easier use on tighter roads and in smaller parking spaces.
- Owners who value a transverse rear bed and compact coachbuilt format, provided they are comfortable checking access and available floor space.
Reasons to consider it
- The two-berth specification keeps the layout focused on couple use rather than adding sleeping capacity that may not be needed.
- The transverse bed provides a defined sleeping area within the compact 5.99-metre body.
- The stated 779-kilogram payload gives useful allowance for occupants, luggage and equipment, subject to the vehicle’s actual weight record.
- The supplied key features include swivelling captain seats, a two-burner hob, fridge and Truma Combi heating, supporting a self-contained touring layout if fitted to the vehicle viewed.
What to check
- Confirm the actual MTPLM, GVW and unladen weight from the vehicle’s plates and documents, as the supplied figures list 3,499 kilograms MTPLM and 3,495 kilograms GVW.
- Check how the transverse bed is accessed and whether its arrangement suits both occupants.
- Spend time in the wet-room-style bathroom, as the supplied editorial notes that it can feel tight for taller users.
- Test the lounge with both cab seats swivelled and occupied, because the supplied editorial identifies limited floor space when the lounge is fully occupied.
- Verify that the two-burner hob, fridge, Truma Combi heating, LED lighting and other listed equipment are fitted to the specific example.
Worth knowing: The supplied information does not identify a production-year range, trim level or individual vehicle condition. The stated price range is 32,000 to 68,000, but actual asking prices depend on the vehicle offered and its specification. The model is listed with two berths only, so it is not suited to buyers needing additional sleeping places without further evidence of a conversion.

| Model | Berths | Maximum weight | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dethleffs Globebus 2 | 2 | 3499 kg | 5.99 m | £32,000 to £68,000 |

The Dethleffs Globebus 2 sits among compact two-berth options with a 5.99-metre length, 2.15-metre width and recorded 779-kilogram payload. The listed alternatives vary in length, recorded weight figures and price ranges, so the better choice depends on the importance of body width, sleeping layout, verified payload and budget. Compare individual specifications and condition rather than treating any model as a universal winner.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Dethleffs Globebus 2 ownership checks
- Keep the 2.15-metre width in mind when planning storage, access and parking, particularly where mirrors, boundary clearance or narrow entrances are involved.
- Use the 5.99-metre length and 2.62-metre height when checking garages, storage compounds, height barriers and route restrictions.
- Treat the 779-kilogram payload as a limit rather than spare capacity. Account for passengers, water, luggage, gas and fitted options using the vehicle’s verified weight information.
- Because this is a two-berth transverse-bed layout, organise bedding and everyday storage around access to the rear sleeping area rather than assuming full-width walk-through space.
- Check the compact bathroom and lounge regularly for practical wear points, and confirm that listed heating and kitchen equipment operates correctly before purchase.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Relying on the advertised payload without checking the actual vehicle’s plated weights and fitted options.
- Assuming the compact exterior guarantees comfortable interior circulation without testing the bathroom, bed access and occupied lounge.
- Overlooking the 2.62-metre height when using low entrances or height-restricted parking.
Worth knowing: No model-specific faults are supplied, so inspections should focus on the particular vehicle rather than assumed weaknesses. The supplied evidence does not establish an ownership schedule, service interval or component warranty.
