Practical ownership tips

Towing suitability

At 1,350kg MTPLM, your tow car needs a kerbweight of at least 1,588kg 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 ONTOUR has approximately 200kg 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 ONTOUR a practical choice for first-time towers?

The Hobby ONTOUR is a lightweight German caravan range starting from 2027, specifically engineered for agility and ease of towing. With a slim 2.2-metre width and a 1350kg MTPLM, it is designed for owners of smaller vehicles who require a high-quality build without the bulk of traditional wide-body caravans. It offers between three and five berths across multiple layouts including fixed and twin single beds.

Lightweight chassis designed for towing by smaller vehicles and compact SUVs.
Narrower 2.2-metre exterior width to improve manoeuvrability on tighter roads.
Standard HOBBYCONNECT system for smartphone-based control of onboard technology.
Year-round touring capability via frost-protected installations.
Extra-wide entrance door featuring triple-point locking for security.

Worth knowing: The 2.2-metre bodyshell provides less internal width than the Hobby De Luxe range. Payload capacity is limited to 200kg on base chassis configurations. Interior space may feel tighter due to the slimline profile.

Buying a Hobby ONTOUR caravan

Who it suits

• Owners of compact SUVs or smaller cars seeking a lightweight towing solution.
• First-time buyers looking for a German-engineered entry point into caravanning.
• Tourers who frequent narrow routes where a 2.2-metre width is advantageous.

Reasons to consider it

• High level of standard equipment included in the factory all-inclusive package.
• Modern interior finishes and ambient lighting typical of the Hobby brand.
• Frost-protected systems allow for comfortable use during winter months.

What to check

• Verify the specific bed configuration as layouts include Fixed, Transverse, and Twin Single beds.
• Test the HOBBYCONNECT smartphone interface to ensure compatibility with your devices.
• Inspect the extra-wide entrance door and triple-point locking mechanism.

Worth knowing: Confirm the specific payload for your chosen layout as base configurations offer 200kg. Check that the 2.2-metre width provides sufficient internal living space for your needs.

Compare the Hobby ONTOUR with similar models

Model	Berths	MTPLM	Length	Typical price
Hobby ONTOUR	5	1350 kg	6.89 m	£15,500 to £28,500
Swift Challenger Sport 524	4	1405 kg	6.94 m	£11,500 to £16,500
Coachman Vision	5	1550 kg	7.32 m	£14,000 to £26,500

The Hobby ONTOUR occupies a specific niche for those prioritising a narrow 2.2-metre width and a 1350kg MTPLM. While the Elddis Xplore offers a shorter 6.35-metre alternative at the same weight, the ONTOUR provides German-engineered finishes and a 6.89-metre length. The Coachman Vision and Bailey Pegasus Rimini offer larger footprints and higher weights for those who do not require the ONTOUR's slimline profile. Choosing between them depends on whether you value the ONTOUR's compact manoeuvrability over the increased internal volume of wider UK-built alternatives.

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

Managing your Hobby ONTOUR

Utilise the HOBBYCONNECT system to monitor onboard tech remotely via your smartphone.
Take advantage of the 2.2-metre width when navigating narrow country lanes or tight pitches.
Use the frost-protected installations to extend your touring season into the winter.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Overloading the caravan beyond the 200kg payload limit on base models.
• Assuming all layouts offer the same floor space despite the 6.89-metre external length.

Worth knowing: The 200kg payload must be managed carefully when packing heavy equipment. Ensure the 1350kg MTPLM is compatible with your vehicle's towing capacity.

Alternatives to the Hobby ONTOUR

Swift Challenger Sport 524

The Swift Challenger Sport 524 serves as a four-berth alternative with a slightly longer 6.94-metre body.

Elddis Xplore

The Elddis Xplore offers a shorter length of 6.35 metres while matching the 1350kg MTPLM and five-berth capacity.
