Dethleffs Trend T 6717 EB: what stands out
The Dethleffs Trend T 6717 EB is a low-profile motorhome with rear twin beds, a garage, and a flexible layout for two to four berths. Its 6.96-metre length, 644kg payload and 3499kg MTPLM give it a useful balance of touring space and carrying capacity, subject to the exact specification and equipment fitted.
- Rear twin single beds can convert into a larger double sleeping area, with an optional drop-down bed providing additional sleeping capacity.
- The rear garage has dual-sided access and a stated 150kg loading capacity, supporting bulky touring equipment.
- The Vario washroom uses a pivoting wall to create a separate shower space.
- The L-shaped seating group, side kitchen and 142-litre fridge/freezer suit longer stays, while the three-burner hob provides cooking capacity.
- At 6.96 metres long and 2.33 metres wide, it remains below seven metres but is 2.94 metres high, so dimensions need checking before storage or restricted-road use.
Worth knowing: Equipment, dimensions and layout details can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment. The stated four-berth capacity depends on the relevant sleeping equipment being fitted. Confirm the plated weights, axle limits and actual payload on the particular vehicle.
Who should consider the Dethleffs Trend T 6717 EB?
Who it suits
- Couples wanting rear twin beds, a garage and a low-profile body within a 6.96-metre vehicle length.
- Buyers who carry bikes or bulky camping equipment and can make use of the garage's stated 150kg loading capacity.
- Small families or couples hosting occasional guests, provided the optional drop-down bed and relevant travel-seat and berth specification are confirmed.
Reasons to consider it
- The 644kg stated payload gives useful scope for touring equipment within the 3499kg MTPLM, although the usable figure depends on the completed vehicle and options.
- The twin-bed layout offers separate beds and can be converted into a larger double sleeping area.
- The Lifetime Smart body construction is identified as rot-proof and intended to provide moisture protection.
- The Vario washroom's pivoting wall makes better use of the available interior space than a fixed separate shower would.
- The extra-wide 70cm habitation door and dual-sided garage access support practical loading and everyday use.
What to check
- Confirm whether the vehicle has the optional drop-down bed and how it affects lounge headroom when lowered.
- Check the actual payload after factory options, dealer-fitted equipment, occupants, water, gas and touring load are accounted for.
- Inspect the high twin-bed access and steps, particularly if frequent night-time access is important.
- Measure the 2.94-metre height, 2.33-metre width and 6.96-metre length against storage, access routes and intended pitch use.
- Check the kitchen in person, as worktop space is limited when the sink and hob are in use.
Worth knowing: The published price range is 52000 to 88000, but the applicable figure depends on specification, condition and market context. A listing count of zero is recorded in the supplied marketplace data, so availability cannot be inferred from that record. The source evidence notes that specifications can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

Ownership points for the Trend T 6717 EB
- Keep a current payload record because the vehicle has a 3499kg MTPLM and a stated 644kg payload, while garage loads, water, passengers and options reduce the remaining allowance.
- Distribute garage cargo carefully and stay within the stated 150kg garage loading capacity, with heavier items secured low and appropriately.
- Measure the 2.94-metre height before using storage buildings, low barriers or unfamiliar access routes.
- Allow for the 2.33-metre width and 6.96-metre length when planning narrow access, parking and manoeuvring.
- Use the bed steps deliberately, as the high twin-bed position is part of the garage-based layout.
- Check the Vario washroom wall is fully positioned for the intended use and keep the kitchen loading realistic when the sink and hob occupy the worktop.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Treating the 644kg payload as available luggage capacity without deducting occupants, options, fluids and equipment.
- Assuming the twin beds or the optional drop-down bed provide the same sleeping arrangement without checking the particular vehicle.
- Loading the garage to its stated capacity without checking the vehicle's overall payload and axle limits.
Worth knowing: These are layout and weight-management points, not a diagnosis of known faults. The vehicle's actual plated limits and fitted equipment should be confirmed from its documentation.
