Its been awhile since posting on here, but we orginally had a folding camper, which we renovated - but since having another small person, we needed more space.
So we sold the camper lasg year an decided to buy a tourer for this year. we struggled with finding a van with a layout that suited us, until we found a Hobby....
Its an older van (2003 i think) fixed bunk beds, 6 berth, single axle. I think its called a de-luxe
Its in immaculate condition for its age. an the folder the previous owner (from new) gave me, looks like its been serviced every year of use.
so I feel like a grown up now with a tin top!! please expect questions etc - please be gentle
------------- If it wasnt for bad luck, i'd have no luck at all
Welcome to tin tent land. You may find some sites don't allow these vans, I'm not 100% sure whay, but it might be because the door is on the "wrong" side.
Someone else might know why or if indeed I am correct.
Has it got a mover fitted. As the door is on wrong side to UK vans you will need to put it on pitches nose first,that is to say you not be able to reverse it onto pitch. Some sites will not allow these vans as the are one of the Gypsies favorite makes.. Make sure you have good Hitchlock and wheel locks on it.
I presume you have driving licence that will cover to tow the combined total weight of van plus motor gross weight. If so happy caravanning.

I've had my Hobby for 15 years now and pitched at many many UK sites - never had a refusal.
I would endorse the 'mover' comment - not only for pitching nose in but also general maneuvering a heavy van (mine is a 560UL Prestige which is approx. 1650kg loaded.
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
