Dethleffs trailers for 2022 - model dizziness
We recently described what's new on board Dethleffs campers for 2022. Today it's time for camping trailers. What will be the new systems and what changes can we expect in existing models?
AERO – anniversary bestseller
The Dethleffs AERO series turned out to be a success on European markets, constituting a bridge between the budget C'JOY/C'GO and the CAMPER line. The AERO's popularity is probably due to the anniversary edition introduced this year on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the Dethleffs brand - the package included, among others, 17-inch aluminum rims, smooth aluminum upholstery and a hot water boiler.
The anniversary edition remains on offer for 2022, and the entire portfolio will be expanded with 3 new models (Aero 470 EL, 470 FSK and 490 QSK). Excellent value for money and a multitude of different arrangements (8 variants) with a GVW of 1300-1500 kg make this series a really interesting proposition for both couples and families with children. Thanks to the durable and high-quality construction, a hail-resistant resin laminate roof and the optional winter package, we can travel with these trailers in all conditions without worrying about temperatures or tightness.
CAMPER, NOMAD, BEDUIN – new layouts and stylistic changes
The biggest design changes will be noted in the middle and upper classes, i.e. in the Camper, Nomad and Bedouin Scandinavia models. Modernized exterior lines, a new rear with low-set, visually attractive LED lighting and a black diffuser at the base of the rear wall.
This year, we will not find a wide, lower stripe on the side of the above-mentioned models, but only a thin line under the window. Additional stickers will be placed around the side windows at the front of the trailers.
The Camper series will be enriched by the 510 EL model with single beds measuring 85x200 cm at the back. The width of the trailer is 230 cm. At the front there is a comfortable living room with sofas around a table. A large kitchen with a fridge-freezer with a capacity of 142 liters is an additional advantage.
The Nomad range will be expanded to include a 2-seater arrangement with a 250 cm wide structure. 520 ELT combines a spacious bathroom at the rear with a spacious living room in the middle, a kitchen and single beds at the front. The bathroom takes up the entire width of the trailer and is equipped with a separate shower cabin.
Most new products can be found in the Bedouin Scandinavia range. As the name suggests, the model line was developed for the most demanding adventures in winter conditions. Since caravanning from autumn to spring is gaining more and more fans in our latitudes, the offer of equipment is also becoming more and more popular. Dethleffs himself considers the Bedouin his flagship. Many of the latest solutions are used in these models before reaching the cheaper segments. New for 2022 are 550BET, 550RD and 550SE - all of them are 230 cm wide and measure exactly 675 cm (length without drawbar) and identical GVM - 1,800 kg.
Bedouin Scandinavia 550 BET convinces with a huge, elegant kitchen at the front of the entire width of the building. The central part is a spacious living room with a table, horseshoe-shaped sofas and an additional sofa on the opposite side. Single beds and a large bathroom at the back are additional features of the model.
The 550 RD has a layout typical of many campers - next to the entrance there is a wardrobe and opposite it there is a kitchen with a fridge. Then, divided by a corridor, there is a sanitary module with a toilet, washbasin and a shower cabin. We have the option of separating the entire bathroom with a lockable door. The rear bedroom has a large queen bed and side wardrobes.
The huge living room of the 550 SE model with a sofa and an opposite cabinet with space for a pull-out TV up to 32 inches is an ideal oasis of relaxation. The separate beds at the back can be easily transformed into a huge bed for the whole family (nominally, the trailer has 3 sleeping places, including the living room).
In our opinion, Dethleffs maintains the level
In total, the Camper series includes 13 systems, Nomad has 13, and Bedouin Scandinavia - 10. With such a wide selection, everyone will find a version that suits their individual needs. Personally, I would dream of a Bedouin Scandinavia model based on the Nomad FKR730 with a separate shower cabin. Maybe in the coming years Dethleffs will offer something similar... As a fan of the brand, after seeing the new products for 2022 during the fairs in Düsseldorf, Poznań and Nadarzyn, I definitely confirm that it is still decent and durable equipment. It is also clear that, unlike other factories, the proverbial accountant has not yet taken over.
