New Hobby Caravan picture PCv Mag dec 2011
Very sleek looking Hobby in this picture. Hard to see how it's constructed.
At first glance it certainly catches the eye and the price seems comparable with our UK models.
Is there any more info out there?
Very few people buy the PC magazine so maybe a website link to the caravan would be better.
That'll get the censors out - the forum exist to promote the magazine, not put it out of business !!
Stunning looking van, inside and out.
Sadly the twin axle versions are(legally) too long body wise to tow without a vehicle over 3500kg.
Hobby are doing a single axle version but no info as of yet.
But here is the twin 2012 in all its glory: http://www.altomcamping.dk/Campingvogne/Modeller-2012/Hobby-2012-Premium.-Ny-modelserie.html

Only the 650 and 720 look like they exceed the 7m body length limit - the 560 may be 8.01m overall length but it's body length that's used, not the overall.
Or is it only the 650 and 720 that are twin axles.
I recently did some work on a new hobby, I am pretty sure it was a hobby prestige 560, it was a single axle, I had an opportunity to have a good mooch around and I have to say I was very impressed with the layout and the general feel of quality about it, a really nice van.
Only Hobby vans up to and including 560series are under 7 mtrs body length.
Model numbers above are all over 7 mtrs.
Up to 540 series are 2.3mtrs wide
560 and above are 2.55mtrs
Thanks Damian
Ignoring the length it's interesting to see the bedrooms are at the front end.
Bailey tried this format with the Pageant S6 Vendee. It didn't work!!
That said I do like what I see.

Can you provide any data that would substantiate that statement Surfer?
Is there a figure that has provided the basis for your assertion?
Very few people buy the PC magazine in comparison to what? Daily newspapers? Copies of The Bible? Books about cake decorating?

A slightly cynical view Roger, and if challenging an assertion not based on visible factual evidence is seen as censorship in your world then I'm not sure that you've quite grasped the concept of debate.
Very nice inside and out, did think when I first saw it though that the front was a little avondaleesque, not that that's a bad thing! No layouts uk legal or not looked like they'd suit us at the moment though. Shame!!!! Oh and Swimbo did buy me the mag this month to keep me occupied in recovery.

Parksy - I've had major issues in the past with moderators of this forum, including yourself I recall, about threads/posts which were critical of PCV magazine and/or it's advertisers so edited out of existence.
I try to avoid such confrontations nowadays and was simply advising Surfer on this issue.
