Available payload

Before you buy

Buying a Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 540 UL

Who it suits

Reasons to consider it

• High standard specification including a 133-litre tower fridge and ambient lighting.
• Excellent insulation and high-performance heating suitable for all-season use.
• Robust build quality with a 209 kg payload for personal equipment.

What to check

• Verify the specific model year as specifications can vary between 2022 and current production.

Bailey Pegasus Grande Gt75 Portofino	4	1574 kg	7.38 m	£28,000 to £35,000

The Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 540 UL occupies a specific niche, balancing a 7.29 metre length with a 1600 kg MTPLM. While alternatives like the Bailey Pegasus Grande series offer greater lengths of 7.38 metres and varying weights from 1574 kg to 1669 kg, the Hobby distinguishes itself with its specific German design language and the Super Slim Tower refrigerator. The choice between these models often rests on the preference for the Hobby twin-bed layout versus the different internal configurations found in the Bailey Alicanto or Unicorn ranges.

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

Ownership and Towing Tips

Utilise the 209 kg payload carefully to maintain stability on the single axle.
Make use of the HobbyConnect app to monitor battery and fluid levels remotely.
Ensure the extra-wide entrance door is fully engaged with its triple-point lock during travel.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Underestimating the 1600 kg MTPLM when matching with a tow vehicle.
• Forgetting to secure the 133-litre tower fridge door before transit.

Worth knowing: The 2.3 metre width is wider than some entry-level caravans and may require additional towing mirrors.
