Practical ownership tips

Towing suitability

At 1,600kg MTPLM, your tow car needs a kerbweight of at least 1,882kg to meet the 85% guideline. Check towing capacity by reg or use the towing calculator to compare a specific car and caravan.

Available payload

The Hobby EXCELLENT 560 CFE has approximately 158kg of user payload. This must cover all personal belongings, water, gas, awning, and accessories. Overloading affects handling and is illegal.

Before you buy

Request a habitation check or damp survey for any used caravan. Check the service history, tyre age, chassis condition, and whether the CRIS registration matches the seller. Specifications vary by year and trim level.

Is the Hobby EXCELLENT 560 CFE a practical choice for touring?

The Hobby EXCELLENT 560 CFE is a 7.51m caravan designed for year-round touring, featuring a 2.5m wide body that maximises internal living space. It offers a four berth layout with a fixed French bed and a rear washroom, supported by a 1600kg MTPLM. With prices ranging from 18500 to 34950, it balances German engineering with modern technology like HobbyConnect.

Four berth capacity with a side-mounted fixed French bed and rear U-shaped lounge.
Substantial 2.5m external width providing increased interior floor space.
Kitchen equipped with a 133-litre Slim Tower refrigerator and freezer.
Winter-proof construction on a robust chassis with knot-stabilising coupling.
Integrated HobbyConnect technology for smartphone-based system control.

Worth knowing: The 2.5m width requires careful navigation on narrow roads. A 1600kg MTPLM necessitates a vehicle with significant towing capacity. Payload is limited to 158kg, requiring careful management of heavy equipment.

Buying a Hobby EXCELLENT 560 CFE

Who it suits

• Couples or small families who value a wide-body interior and a social U-shaped lounge.
• Year-round tourers requiring a winter-proof design and robust chassis.
• Tech-focused owners who prefer smartphone integration for caravan management.

Reasons to consider it

• The 2.5m width offers a level of interior spaciousness rarely found in standard UK models.
• High-quality interior finishes including ambient LED lighting and cold foam mattresses.
• Proven German build quality with a focus on layout efficiency and storage.

What to check

• Verify the specific year of manufacture as production for this iteration begins in 2027.
• Confirm the towing vehicle is legally rated for the 1600kg MTPLM and 2.5m width.
• Inspect the operation of the HobbyConnect app with the onboard systems.

Worth knowing: The 158kg payload may be quickly consumed by optional extras or heavy gear. Tall users should test the French bed dimensions for comfort before purchase.

Compare the Hobby EXCELLENT 560 CFE with similar models

Model	Berths	MTPLM	Length	Typical price
Hobby EXCELLENT 560 CFE	4	1600 kg	7.51 m	£18,500 to £34,950
Coachman Vip	4	1650 kg	7.43 m	£18,000 to £39,500
Bailey Unicorn Cadiz	4	1600 kg	7.34 m	£18,000 to £34,000

The Hobby EXCELLENT 560 CFE occupies a specific niche, offering a 2.5m wide body and 1600kg MTPLM that contrasts with UK alternatives like the Bailey Unicorn Vigo or Elddis Affinity. While the Hobby provides a unique U-shaped rear lounge and German winter-proof engineering, the UK-built alternatives often offer lower weights or different bed configurations within a narrower 7.34m to 7.43m length. The choice depends on whether the buyer prioritises the Hobby's internal volume over the easier towing dimensions of its competitors.

Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.

Ownership and Maintenance Tips

Utilise the underbed storage for heavier items to maintain stability during transit.
Regularly update the HobbyConnect app to ensure compatibility with onboard hardware.
Monitor the overrun braking system as part of annual chassis maintenance.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Exceeding the 158kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories.
• Underestimating the turning circle required for a 7.51m long caravan.

Worth knowing: Always check local route restrictions for 2.5m wide vehicles before travel.
