Key Highlights from the Stands
Carthago: Meet the Stars of Carthago
The Carthago C-Tourer 145 RB was a standout model at the show, attracting attention for its unique flexibility. Customers were particularly impressed by the fact that it’s available in a 3.5-ton chassis, allowing it to be driven with a standard car license, making it more accessible for a broader range of motorhome enthusiasts. For those with a C-license, the heavier chassis option provided added flexibility for larger payloads, appealing to more experienced drivers.
The balance of luxury, practicality, and innovative design made this model a favorite for those seeking comfort without compromising on drivability.

One of the standout innovations on the Carthago C-Tourer 145 RB that caught the attention of visitors was its clever entertainment system. Aoife demonstrated this feature with a video, showing how the TV is mounted on a movable panel that can be smoothly pulled across to the center-bottom of the rear island bed. This innovative design not only maximizes space but also enhances the comfort of watching TV in bed, creating a more luxurious experience for travelers.
The seamless integration of this feature highlights Carthago's attention to detail and commitment to blending luxury with functionality. Customers were impressed by how easy it was to operate and the convenience it adds to the motorhome’s layout. This innovation is a great example of how Carthago enhances the travel experience by incorporating thoughtful and practical design elements.
Dethleffs:
At the Dethleffs stand, the excitement was palpable, with the new Globetrails emerging as a crowd favorite. These versatile campervans are designed for adventurers seeking off-grid capabilities, with features that prioritize both functionality and comfort. Visitors were particularly drawn to the innovative space-saving solutions and sleek interiors, making the Globetrails a top pick for those who value flexibility and ease of use on the road.
Many customers visiting the Dethleffs stand commented on the outstanding value for money, especially when compared to the finishes of competitors' designs. Dethleffs' commitment to quality was evident in features like the shower with a concertina door, which provides a more premium experience compared to the cheaper shower curtain option that many competitors opted for.
Visitors appreciated the practical benefits of this design, noting how it avoids the typical frustration of a shower curtain blowing in the wind and sticking to the skin.
Dethleffs T7057 EBL
Another standout at the Dethleffs stand was the T7057 low-profile model, which garnered significant attention for its spacious layout and stylish design. Customers loved the smart use of space, particularly the rear island bed and the face-to-face lounge seating, which creates a cozy yet spacious living area. This model is perfect for families and couples looking for a balance of luxury and practicality.
To showcase this model, we captured a video of the T7057 EBL along with several photos that highlight its modern, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable lounge, and the seamless integration of technology throughout the motorhome.
