One queen-size bed, two separate bathrooms, a generous seating area and a stylish design – Hobby’s new semi-integrated T65 GQ, which is available as both an OPTIMA DE LUXE and OPTIMA PREMIUM, offers luxury in compact form.

Hobby is coming up with the top innovations of the 2018 season for the 50th anniversary of the Stuttgart CMT trade fair early in the year. This includes models from the completely redesigned caravan series ONTOUR, the vans from the VANTANA programme, the semi-integrateds from the series OPTIMA DE LUXE and OPTIMA PREMIUM and the family-friendly SIESTA alcoves. Other trade fair highlights are the “50 Years Anniversary Edition" models, which Hobby is offering in both the motorhome and caravan segments.

Hobby is reorienting its activities in the important European sales markets of the UK and Ireland. In future, the motorhomes and caravans from the North German brand will be distributed in both countries by the company Hobby GBI run by John Hindle.

Party, have a look around and with a bit of luck win a caravan worth around 30,000 euros. On 14 and 15 October 2017, Hobby business partners are inviting their customers to the great “Golden Times” autumn event. Not only will the visitors have an opportunity to personally get to know the innovative product lines for the 2018 season - they will even get a chance to win a superbly equipped caravan from the 50 Year Anniversary Edition.

In the DE LUXE 515 UHK, Hobby is presenting a caravan with a fold-down bed for the 2018 season for the first time. This model offers seven berths in total.

For caravaners who want a top-equipped rolling holiday home, Hobby has put three anniversary models from the popular EXCELLENT programme on the road.

In the OPTIMA DE LUXE and OPTIMA PREMIUM Hobby is offering two stand-alone semi-integrated series for the 2018 season. Both are starting with high quality full equipment as standard.

Hobby has been winning friends for three years with its compact models from the entry-level series ONTOUR among caravaners who place a special emphasis on high mobility. For the 2018 season the agile travel caravan is presenting itself with a completely new look inside and out.

Bright sunshine, blue skies, live music, great artists, games, fun, delicious food for young and old and as the grand finale a world class laser show – the day of the big street party for the 50th anniversary of Hobby really couldn’t have been any better.

Hobby was successful in two categories at the European Innovation Award 2017. The new SlimLine refrigerator in the van series Vantana was selected as the winner in the area of interior design and technology by the jury of international experts. In the marketing category Hobby won due to its extraordinary PR campaign for the Wacken-Vantana apprentices project.
