Hobby was delighted to receive multiple accolades at the European Innovation Award 2026. The company took first place in the “Marketing / PR Campaign” category for the comprehensive relaunch of its website. In addition, the BEACHY 420+ secured second place in the “Target Group Focus” category, while Hobby’s new 7” touch control panel took third place in the “Connectivity” category. An international panel of industry journalists and camping experts selected this year’s winners, with the awards presented during the CMT trade fair in Stuttgart. Accepting the honors on behalf of Hobby were Holger Schulz (Managing Director of Sales), Frank Maukel (Head of Marketing & PR) and Mathias Liebing (Creative Director).

Hobby has scored another success at CMT Stuttgart: the German-based leisure vehicle manufacturer has been awarded the Clever Campen Jury-Award 2026 in the “Motorhome” category. Presented by Clever Campen magazine, part of the Motor Presse Stuttgart publishing group, the award recognises practi-cal, real-world innovations that offer genuine added value for camping enthusiasts. The judging panel praised Hobby for its “exceptionally transparent pricing policy.

A major success for Hobby: the Hobby ONTOUR caravan has received top honours in the readers’ choice awards run by the leading caravan magazines promobil and CARAVANING. In the “Lower Mid-Range” category, it secured first place with 35.8% of the votes. With its well-thought-out layout, this compact caravan appeals to campers with a wide range of requirements – and thanks to the standard “HobbyKomplett” ALL-INCLUSIVE package, it’s ready to hit the road straight away. The official award ceremony took place at the CMT holiday exhibition in Stuttgart.

In the first quarter of the 2026 season, the DE LUXE 515 UHL caravan layout has become the most popular family model in the Hobby range. It combines an extremely family-friendly layout with Hobby’s tried-and-tested body technology and an extensive range of standard equipment. The standout feature of this caravan is its practical drop-down bed, which means that it offers berths for up to six people. Its robust, well-insulated construction makes it the perfect travel companion – even during the cold winter months.

Hobby is adding a semi-integrated vehicle to its range of high-end motorhomes with the new PRESTIGE T 710 GE. Like the PRESTIGE VAN, the PRESTIGE T motorhome owes its appealing interior design to the maritime theming. Thanks to its extensive equipment package, cutting-edge on-board technology and winter-ready body, wherever you go in the PRESTIGE T, you can rest assured that you’ll be travelling in comfort.

Visitors to Hall 5 at this year’s Caravan Salon can look forward to all the highlights from Hobby’s 2026 line-up – including the brand-new PRESTIGE T motorhome range, an innovative concept vehicle and some extraordinary conversion projects.

For the 2026 season, Hobby will present a fully updated portfolio – featuring advances in technology and smart home features, a brand-new motorhome range, innovative bathroom solutions and refreshed caravan designs. Hobby will present the full line-up at its official press conference at the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf on 29 August 2025, and at the Hobby stand – this year, located in Hall 5 for the first time.

With the launch of the new ONTOUR VAN Solaris 600 FT edition model, Hobby is offering its customers even greater freedom and spontaneity. The limited special edition features a 260 W BÜTTNER DOMETIC solar energy system with solar charge controller and a 100 Ah SUPER B lithium battery, allowing for up to four days of off-grid camping. This makes the new Hobby van the perfect choice for solo travellers, couples and friends who attach importance to freedom and sustainability on their holidays. The Hobby ONTOUR VAN Solaris is available now, priced from just 64,690 euros.

Hobby is adding yet another model to its BEACHY range – the BEACHY 420+. The new caravan offers clever space solutions, including an additional bunk bed and a multifunctional wall, which can be used to create a WC, dressing room or as a partition. While the fresh, new colour scheme brings that sunset feeling to life, the living area is still just as cosy and the beach house vibe that is typical of the BEACHY has, of course, been retained.

With a brand-new motorhome range, technical updates across all caravans and vibrant BEACHYs, there’s plenty to discover at Hobby in Hall 9 at the CARAVAN SALON in Düsseldorf, starting on 30 August 2024.
