Dethleffs – other models: the collection page for motorhomes outside the named ranges, Fiat Ducato base, four-cylinder diesels from 1,998 to 2,800 cm³
This page gathers Dethleffs motorhomes the register could not assign to a named range. Dethleffs was founded in 1931 in Isny im Allgäu and is one of Europe's oldest caravan and motorhome makers; the brand has belonged to the Erwin Hymer Group since the 1990s. The range letters A, B, H and I ahead of the model number order different body series; the entry "Kampeerwagen" (Dutch for motorhome) points to the Dutch export and registration market, where many Dethleffs motorhomes found their first owner. The chassis are predominantly Fiat Ducato-based, recognisable from the displacement and weight class of the listed models.

The register lists 16 versions here with 1,998 to 2,800 cm³ displacement from exclusively four-cylinder diesel engines, weights of 2,320 to 2,890 kg, gross vehicle weights of 3,000 to 3,500 kg and widths of 2,050 to 2,320 mm.
In the motorhome segment, Dethleffs competes with brands such as Hymer, Knaus and Bürstner for family and leisure customers across Europe; the base on the widely used Ducato chassis secures broad workshop and parts supply through the regular Fiat service network.
On a used motorhome, check above all for damp damage in the living area, particularly around roof penetrations, windows and skylights, as well as rust on the Ducato chassis and cab, the service condition of the gas and onboard electrical systems, and tyre age, since motorhomes often stand unused for long periods; the base vehicle's service records (timing belt, brakes) should be checked despite low mileage.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
