Practical ownership tips

Towing suitability

At 1,900kg MTPLM, your tow car needs a kerbweight of at least 2,235kg 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 645 VIP has approximately 255kg 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 645 VIP a suitable choice for long-term touring?

The Hobby 645 VIP is a substantial twin-axle caravan produced between 2010 and 2015, designed for those who prioritise interior volume and residential-style features. With a width of 2.5m and a length of 8.32m, it offers a spacious environment suitable for seasonal pitches or long-distance travel, provided a capable tow vehicle is used. It accommodates four to five berths across various layouts, including Island Bed and Fixed French Bed configurations.

Twin-axle chassis for enhanced towing stability.
Extra-wide 2.5m body for increased internal living space.
Flexible sleeping arrangements for four to five people.
High-capacity 150-litre Super Slim Tower refrigerator.
Advanced HobbyConnect onboard management system.

Worth knowing: The 2.5m width may present challenges on narrow UK roads. A heavy-duty 4x4 or commercial vehicle is required for safe towing. Manoeuvring a twin-axle caravan often requires a motor mover.

Buying a Hobby 645 VIP

Who it suits

• Connoisseurs of the caravan lifestyle who require a residential feel.
• Families or groups needing four to five berths with a spacious social hub.
• Tourers who prefer seasonal pitches where the 2.5m width is an advantage.

Reasons to consider it

• Unrivalled interior width provides an apartment-style living experience.
• High-quality German build standards with advanced thermal insulation.
• Extensive storage solutions, including large areas under the beds.

What to check

• Verify the specific layout as this model features Island Bed, Fixed French Bed, and U-Shaped Seating variations.
• Confirm the operation of the HobbyConnect system and atmospheric lighting zones.
• Check the condition of the 150-litre Super Slim Tower refrigerator.
• Ensure your tow vehicle is legally rated for the 1900kg MTPLM.

Worth knowing: Payload is limited to 255kg, which must be managed carefully given the vehicle size. The twin-axle design increases the effort required for manual positioning.

Compare the Hobby 645 VIP with similar models

Model	Berths	MTPLM	Length	Typical price
Hobby 645 VIP	5	1900 kg	8.32 m	£18,500 to £38,000
Elddis Crusader Tempest	6	1880 kg	8.12 m	£18,500 to £42,000
Coachman Laser	4	1850 kg	7.90 m	£18,000 to £46,000

The Hobby 645 VIP is a wide-body continental caravan that focuses on internal volume and high-specification equipment. When compared to UK alternatives like the Coachman Laser or Swift Elegance, it offers a distinct 2.5m width and a specific German design aesthetic. While UK models often focus on lighter weights for a broader range of tow cars, the Hobby 645 VIP prioritises a flagship presence and a 1900kg MTPLM, making it a robust choice for those with heavy-duty tow vehicles.

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

Ownership and Maintenance

Utilise the large under-bed storage for heavier items to maintain a low centre of gravity.
Regularly test the atmospheric lighting zones and HobbyConnect app connectivity.
Consider a motor mover to assist with the twin-axle manoeuvring requirements.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Attempting to tow with a standard passenger car rather than a heavy-duty 4x4.
• Underestimating the space required for pitch access due to the 2.5m width.

Worth knowing: The 8.32m length requires careful route planning to avoid tight turns. Ensure the 255kg payload is not exceeded when installing additional equipment.
