ONTOUR VAN and PRESTIGE VAN: stylish camper vans for both everyday life and holidays
Hobby’s camper vans now all go by the name VAN. Following the launch of the VW-based MAXIA VAN in the 2024 season. Hobby will unveil its new camper vans on a CITROËN or FIAT chassis, sporting a fresh new look for the upcoming season. These perfectly complement the dynamic exterior design.
The ONTOUR VAN, built on a 140 hp CITROËN chassis and featuring Expedition Grey bodywork with a blue accent stripe as standard, is the perfect camper van for everyday use. With two layout options available, the choice is yours – do you want the bed arranged lengthwise or crosswise? The ONTOUR VAN 600 FT features a transverse double bed at the rear, while the beds in the 40 cm-longer ONTOUR VAN 640 ET are aligned in the direction of travel and equipped with two-metre-long mattresses and the GOODSIDE® slatted frame system. A compact washroom with a shower and mirrored cabinet come as standard, along with a kitchen equipped with a 90 L DOMETIC refrigerator with a double-hinged door.
The PRESTIGE VAN, finished in a darker Lanzarote Grey with a red accent stripe, is based on a FIAT chassis with a 140 hp engine and stands out with its framed windows and exceptional ambience. Inside, the unique and sophisticated interior design is reminiscent of modern yachts. This popular layout includes a seating area in the cab, a compact washroom with a shower, opening windows in the sleeping area, double-glazed and tinted framed windows, single beds at the rear and a well-equipped kitchen.
Thanks to the HOBBYKOMPLETT ALL-INCLUSIVE package, these vans come fully equipped from the factory with everything needed for an enjoyable adventure: full-surface B6 high-performance insulation and XPS flooring for highly efficient body insulation, the GOODSIDE® slatted frame system, REMIS blackout blinds for the front and side windows (cab), a safety package with assistance systems, stylish alloy rims, a fly screen for the sliding door, a roof awning, a gas bottle pull-out shelf for 2 x 11 kg bottles, and the HOBBYCONNECT system that lets you control the on-board technology via the control panel or Bluetooth app.

ONTOUR and MAXIA: Two new model ranges for semi-integrated motorhomes
Two new semi-integrated motorhome model ranges will soon be available, including many familiar models. Both ranges are characterised by Hobby’s trademark rear lights and sleek roof vents, integrated perfectly into the modern, dynamic exterior design.
The ONTOUR C is a compact, semi-integrated motorhome. Thanks to its width of 2.23 metres, it can effortlessly negotiate narrow and bendy roads in mountainous regions and busy city centres. Built on a CITROËN chassis with a lively 140 hp engine, both the island-bed and single-bed layouts are optionally available with automatic transmission. The ONTOUR T is a versatile all-rounder on a Fiat chassis with a 140 hp engine. With a width of 2.40 metres, all three layouts feel open and spacious, and can easily accommodate large, cosy L-shaped seating areas. To ensure a good night’s sleep, a large double bed is installed in the rear section of the ONTOUR T 700 F and ONTOUR T 700 FH. As standard, the ONTOUR T 700 FH features two extra berths thanks to the drop-down bed above the seating area, as well as a powerful 180 hp engine with automatic transmission. The ONTOUR T 710 GE takes a classic approach with its compact side kitchen, two single beds and large rear garage.
The MAXIA T combines Scandinavian design with maximum comfort. This model range impresses with its ALL-INCLUSIVE package, including atmospheric ambient lighting, an L-shaped seating area with a 360° swivel pedestal table, and a three-burner gas-on-glass hob. Three layout options are available, offering up to five berths with either a double bed or single beds. The MAXIA T 740 WE and MAXIA T 740 WF boast a spacious rear washroom with a separate shower cubicle. The 4.4-tonne FIAT chassis with a 180 hp engine and automatic transmission is paired with a striking exterior design featuring a black chassis cowl with bronze accents. The 12 V / 230 V power sockets in the garage are an extremely useful feature.
Fully loaded: the special ONTOUR family models
The family-friendly ONTOUR A 720 GFM and ONTOUR T 700 KMH models on a 4.25-tonne Fiat chassis boast a powerful 140 hp engine, automatic transmission, approval for six people, as well as an equipment package that has been specially chosen to meet the needs of families. These incredibly spacious motorhomes have plenty of extra room for sleeping, playing and cooking, as well as large storage spaces for everything that young and old campers need on the road. The overcab of the ONTOUR A 720 GFM serves as extra storage space during the day. At night, it’s transformed into an airy canopy bed. Thanks to the drop-down bed and convertible central seating area, the semi-integrated ONTOUR T 700 KMH can comfortably sleep up to six people. Little ones will find their place to sleep in a children’s bunk bed in the rear section, which becomes a large garage when driving.
No matter which semi-integrated model you choose, thanks to the HOBBYKOMPLETT ALL-INCLUSIVE package, all motorhomes come travel-ready with many extras, including a safety package with assistance systems, a leather steering wheel with controls, stylish alloy rims, REMIS blackout blinds for the front and side windows in the cab, an attached awning, a fly screen for the habitation entrance door, a GRP floor with XPS heat insulation, a gas bottle pull-out shelf for 2 x 11 kg bottles, a 96-litre waste water tank (heated and insulated), a 133-litre DOMETIC refrigerator (AES) with double-hinged door, and the HOBBYCONNECT system that lets you control the on-board technology via the control panel or Bluetooth app.

New LED lighting ensures an even cosier atmosphere inside the vehicle.

The HOBBYKOMPLETT ALL-INCLUSIVE package for caravans includes a stabiliser hitch and KNOTT overrun braking system, heavy-duty supports, blackout blinds and fly screens for all windows, a rooflight DOMETIC SEITZ, an LED awning light, a wardrobe with interior lighting, fully extendable drawers with soft-close and push-lock mechanisms, as well as the HOBBYCONNECT system that lets you control the on-board technology via the control panel or Bluetooth app.
