To keep up with the growing demand for Hobby caravans, the company from northern Germany has opened up an additional assembly plant. Fockbek has had a total of three high-capacity production lines at its disposal for caravan production since the beginning of the year.

Hobby is taking huge steps towards the digital age. This is not only true of the equipment packages for its leisure vehicles, but also of motorhome and caravan production at the company's site in Fockbek. For around six million euros, the owner-run company has constructed a new prefabrication warehouse where the production processes are fully automated thanks to a whole ensemble of state-of-the-art machinery.

No cold chamber, no artificial ice, just bitter cold conditions, real snow and doubledigit sub-zero temperatures: Hobby has tested two caravans in subarctic conditions in the Arctic Circle.

The Stuttgart-based CMT is the first important spring exhibition of the year, whilst also acting as a barometer of a brand’s success. Hobby impressed the crowds in Stuttgart with its wide range of leisure vehicles, which were presented on a redesigned exhibition stand in Hall 5 for the first time.

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.
