The art of bathroom design in the Globetrail
An outstanding feature of the new Globetrail series are the five different bathroom options.

In the Classic line, customers are also available Firmly- , and a compact bathroom available while in the Advantage line Swivel and comfort bathrooms are available.
Every bathroom has its own special features. The fixed bath for example, a compact bathroom with a solid wooden door and permanently installed components is like Toilet, Shower and Washbasin. The compact bathroom is similar but has a flexible one instead of a solid wooden door roller door. The room bath is, on the other hand, an innovative option where the shower tray in the middle of the living area placed to save space. At the swivel bath the wall with the sink rotates over the toilet to make room for the shower. Finally this is comfort bath the largest of the five bathrooms and has the most comfort. But it requires a certain conversion work.
A look at the new models
Some of the most exciting new models are the 600ER Advantage, 540 DR and the 590 DK based on Ford Transit. The 600ER Advantage is six meters long and offers comfortable despite its compact size Single beds in the rear, which is possible thanks to the spacious bathroom. The beds are slightly raised for extra storage and there are steps that double as extra storage compartments. The 540 DR is a compact model with a Doppelbett and a room bath, during the 590 DK based on a Ford Transit transverse double bed and a smaller one compact bathroom brings. In addition to the models, there are also the new floor plans 600 DF, 600 DR, 600 ER and 640 ERthat even more transverse bed alternatives over six meters in length. The longer ones Globetrail 640 models are also equipped with the powerful 140 hp engine as standard.
Conclusion
The Globe Trail 600 ER is definitely a highlight in the new Dethleffs camper line, thanks to the ability Single beds to be accommodated in a length of just six meters. However, there are some trade-offs to consider, like the bed length of just 1,90 meters and room bath. And in any case, it remains to be seen how practical a shower tray will be in the middle of the room is. In addition, they could five bathroom options and eleven floor plans be obscure to some. Therefore, it is imperative to personally look at the preferred model before making a purchase and make sure that it suits one's needs.
