I've had a Hobby 560 for over 15 years, and NEVER had any problems at sites, either in the UK or in France, and I have been on very many sites in that time. It's quite handy actually - we often go out with friends with a UK 'van, and when we both park nose out or nose in, our awnings are facing each other. Very sociable!!
Regarding insurance, 14-15 years ago, it was a problem - possibly (probably!!) because of the Pikey connection, but since the late noughties, I have never been refused.
Theoretically, in the early years, I was breaking the law as I needed a 3.5 ton tractor unit, but since the UK HAD to modify the law to accept 2.5m 'vans, I was 'legal'. In spite of that, I never even got stopped by the boys in blue.
The Hobby is very sturdy and large, and very little has gone wrong with mine. Don't know what vintage you are looking at, but the earlier 'dry' models had quite a small hot water tank. Never bothers me as it gives enough to wash up with, and I always use the on-site showers.
Best of luck
