- 2010 will see us visiting the huge Dusseldorf Motorhome & Caravan Salon in late August on behalf of Dethleffs Owners. We will also be on the stand at the 2010 NEC October but this year we were disappointed that for the second year running, Dethleffs had omitted to bring their stunning caravans , Campy, Premier Liner, the new modular Motorhome and many, many other great items.We will ask the questions and bring you members the latest news in a newsletter. We will be videoing inside each model and loading it onto youtube after the show. If anyone fancies meeting up in Dusseldorf, drop us a line on dethleffsowners at googlemail dotcom.

New and old Dethleffs owners understand high quality. They also know that the company has a deep family ethos. Run by Dethleffs owners for Dethleffs owners, this site offers Dethleffs caravan and motorhome owners support, advice and ideas.
Many of you have older Dethleffs with German-language manuals. We welcome you all and have translated generic manuals only for members of the DOC. We have a member who regularly uses his 1950's Dethleffs Folding camper. We are searching for the oldest Dethleffs in use. Is it yours?
The older vehicles are a testament to the tradition of quality that the new owners rely upon. We are using PR to help to keep the value of your Dethleffs high.
We have lots of news, views and reviews. Members can access a panel of experts (Ask The Doc.). A handy members-only forum will be your link to other Dethleffs owners ~ no problem is completely new.
We have helped over 50 members to track down new and recycled spare parts.
We will be running prestigious awards for the best caravan dealer and the best motorhome dealer plus best service agent.
We met members at NEC, York and will be at NEC October plus others this year.
