About the Hobby EXCELLENT 540 WFU

The Hobby EXCELLENT 540 WFU is a masterclass in German caravan design, offering a sophisticated single-axle retreat for couples who refuse to compromise on luxury. The interior is defined by its clever use of space, featuring a palatial full-width rear washroom that feels more like a boutique hotel ensuite than a mobile bathroom. This is paired with a comfortable side-mounted French bed, ensuring a restful night's sleep on high-quality cold foam mattresses. The atmosphere is further enhanced by Hobby's signature 'Vigo' upholstery and high-gloss cabinetry, bathed in a multi-zone 12V LED ambient lighting system.

At the front of the caravan, the spacious U-shaped lounge provides a versatile social hub that easily transitions from a dining area to an additional double bed for guests. The kitchen remains a highlight for touring enthusiasts, equipped with the massive 133-litre Dometic Slim-Tower refrigerator and premium integrated appliances. While the 2.3-metre width provides an exceptionally airy interior feel, it remains manageable for experienced towers on UK roads. Explore a wide range of Hobby models on RoamWorthy to find your next luxury touring companion.
