Practical ownership tips
Licence requirements
At 4,250kg GVW, the Malibu I490 Rb Le exceeds 3,500kg and requires a C1 licence (or a pre-January 1997 car licence). Confirm the exact GVW with the seller before purchase.
Payload capacity
The Malibu I490 Rb Le has approximately 860kg of user payload for passengers, water, gas, and personal gear. Check the actual plated weight against the unladen weight for the specific vehicle you are viewing.
Size and practicality
At 7.48m long, the Malibu I490 Rb Le may not fit standard parking bays. Check both length and height restrictions for multi-storey car parks, barriers, and low bridges on your regular routes.
Before you buy
Request a habitation check for any used unit. Check the base vehicle service history, MOT record, and whether the V5C matches the seller. For conversions, confirm the vehicle is correctly registered with DVLA.

| Hymer B-Class ModernComfort T 550 WhiteLine | 4 | 4430 kg | 6.99 m | £85,000 to £115,000 |
The Malibu I490 Rb Le occupies a premium position with its 7.48m length and 4250kg MTPLM, focusing on a spacious dressing room and twin bed layout. While alternatives like the Hymer ModernComfort series offer different weight capacities and lengths, the Malibu distinguishes itself with its specific double-connection furniture technology and integrated garage capacity. The choice between these models often depends on whether the buyer prioritises the Malibu dressing room concept or the different chassis and weight configurations found in the Hymer or Auto-Sleepers ranges.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
