Dethleffs C'go Up! 525 KR: 7 sleeping places

The Dethleffs C'go series is a fresh appearance in the caravan world. Its light interior and cheerful colors make the caravan strikingly different. With the recently introduced 525 KR you even have seven sleeping places at your disposal.

Take into account: two sleeping places in the bunk bed, a spacious double pull-down bed that drops from the ceiling above the dinette and the dinette that you can convert into a bed with three sleeping places if desired. With seven sleeping places, the Dethleffs C'go Up! 525 KR ideally suited for large and composite families.

Exterior

From the C'go Up! There are two models available: the 525 KR that we are looking at for this test and a more compact version: the 465 KR with a total of six sleeping places. They both have a pull-down bed, bunk bed and a dinette that can be converted into a double (465 KR) or even triple bed (525 KR).

Both Up's are 230 cm wide and have an aluminum hammer plate on the outside. The front, roof and rear are made of more hail-resistant GRP: polyester. You can easily place two gas bottles and a spare wheel in the spacious gas bottle compartment. Where the bunk bed is located on the right outside you will find a large service hatch that provides access to the luggage space under the bunk bed. You can fold up the bottom layer of the bunk bed: handy, because it gives you even more luggage space while on the road.

Living, eating, sleeping

Immediately when you enter you see the enormous round seat at the back of the caravan. A modern sea green color was chosen for the furniture upholstery in the test model, but three other colors are available. The upper cabinets and other furniture parts are made in 'pearl white', subdued in combination with dark wood tones, for example around the window frames. It gives the caravan a fresh, spacious look.

The fold-down bed is hidden against the ceiling above the dinette. With one hand movement you pull it down, causing the upper cabinets to sink along to just above the back cushions of the dinette - so you cannot move them. To provide space for the fold-down bed, the caravan has been built a little higher, resulting in a generous headroom: 208 centimeters. Immediately to the right of the entrance door we find the kitchen with plenty of storage space for cooking utensils in the easily accessible drawers.

Opposite this is the bathroom (with toilet and sink), next to it a large refrigerator and then a hanging cupboard for clothes. The front of the 525 KR can be completely separated from the rest of the caravan interior. Behind the sliding/folding door you will find the bunk bed against the right wall with a private seating area for the children opposite. With the door closed, a private play and sleep paradise is created for the little holidaymakers.

Technical installations

You cook in the C'go Up! with three gas burners, equipped with automatic piezo ignition and a blow-out protection, which shuts off the gas supply. The caravan is equipped with a spacious 142 liter refrigerator with freezer compartment. The caravan interior has indirect LED lighting and easy-to-operate reading spotlights. Heating is provided by a Truma heater.

Conclusion caravan test Dethleffs C'go Up

With the C'go Up! series, Dethleffs is clearly aiming at large and blended families. Both the 465 and the 525 have excellent standard equipment. Tip: immediately select the Touring package from the options list. Including boiler, large roof hatch, screen door and shower extension for the bathroom. The payload of 220 kilos may be a bit on the small side if you are actually going out with six or seven people. If your car can handle it, you can have the maximum permissible mass upgraded. This immediately adds 200 kilos of loading capacity.
