One does wonder what is going on with these large twin axle German built caravans? There are plenty for sale on eBay all the time. There seems to be several large dealers who specialise in new & used caravans of this type but they do not appear to be anything like normal large caravan main dealers who sell UK built caravans.

If one looks at eBay sales from private sellers most of these caravan appear to be pictured in situations that do not suggest recreational use. They are not usually Cris reg as imported caravans rely on owner or importer to register them.

Possibly there is some sort of revolving door of skullduggery here where a caravan is sold to a punter for recreational use & straight away becomes a target for criminals who are tipped off perhaps?

I have a 650 umfe bought new in 2012. I love it but insurance is getting harder to find. As owners we,re running out of patience, I think it's time Hobby started improving security or offer insurance. Any advice welcome
John

Hobby were to start installing trackers and registering them with CRIS on all new models starting from 2019....
We were going to buy a Hobby motorhome, based the build quality of the caravans but having looked at a hobby motorhome and the poor build quality we walked away..Pity as the layouts were great .
The Hobby range of caravans - manufactured for the uk market are very impressive.

I have a Hobby and I'm constantly harrised my travellers stealing from it or stealing the whole thing. They've succeeded in taking windows and actually stealing the whole thing, luckily police found it undamaged police recovered it but it had been emptied of all personal belongings being prepared for sale.
Ive spoken to Hobby GBI about this ongoing problem and all the say is new Hobbys have trackers they don't just steal Hobby. I'm not impressed with their response.

My understanding is that Hobby and large twin axles are the chosen caravan of the travelling community.

Sometimes a little rain must fall before you reach a rainbow.

The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you finish the work.
