Hi,

We are nearing the end of our first year on a seasonal pitch, and are considering trading in our beloved Fleetwood for a 2nd Hand Hobby, which would seem to be more suited to a seasonal pitch. Does anyone have any recommendations for dealers who might stock these, particularly in the Yorkshire area (although we are prepared to travel)?

Thanks in advance,

Lizzo.

 They are easily missed as they at the rear of building, but coming from Beverley they are on the left before Yorkshire Coast Caravans.

Always plenty of large Hobbys on ebay, certainly yer cheapest bet but you would need to check carefully that seller was the legal owner.

We drove to Ettenheim Germany and bought our Hobby at Ernst Caravans who are Hobby dealers and have huge selection including other makes. Will save you a lot of money against buying in UK.

They don't look that cheap to me. UK ebay still looks way cheaper.

Now thats cheap! All that and gear for 10k. I suppose its great for seasonal pitch, wouldnt want to tow it around little lanes in Devon, or Yorkshire. Maybe thats why a tourer is so cheap - you wouldnt want to tour with it.

We have our hobby on a seasonal pitch. We bought ours from D&S trading in Bridlington.  There is another dealers in Annan Scotland, the owners of the sites are brothers.  Both have a good reputation. A lot of the people on the site i am on have purchased them from the Annan place.

Thanks everyone! The place near Bridlington looks well worth a look, and close to our site.
