    A dedicated family caravan with German engineering.

    The Hobby DE LUXE 490 KMF is a five to six berth family caravan featuring a distinct three-zone living arrangement. It combines a front transverse double bed, a central side dinette, and dedicated rear bunk beds within a 6.89m body. Built with HobbyComplete all-inclusive equipment, it includes a 150-litre refrigerator and the HobbyConnect control system, all supported by a 1500kg MTPLM chassis.

    • Three-zone family layout including rear bunk beds and a side dinette.
    • Front-facing transverse double bed with a high-comfort mattress.
    • Large 150-litre Super Slim Tower refrigerator with a removable freezer.
    • HobbyConnect system for smartphone-based control of onboard technology.
    • Knott ANS overrun brake featuring automatic adjustment for towing safety.

    Worth knowing: The 2.3m width can result in a narrow central aisle when the caravan is at full capacity. A payload of 216kg may be quickly consumed if heavy factory options are added. The transverse bed design requires one occupant to climb over the other to exit.

    Buying a Hobby DE LUXE 490 KMF

    Who it suits

    • • Larger families who require separate sleeping zones for parents and children.
    • • Tourers seeking a caravan with a comprehensive standard equipment list.
    • • Owners of tow vehicles capable of managing a 1500kg MTPLM and 2.3m width.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • Efficient use of internal space for up to six people within a 6.89m length.
    • • High-quality German construction and durable interior finishes.
    • • Advanced towing features including the Winterhoff stabilisation system.

    What to check

    • • Test the accessibility of the transverse double bed to ensure it meets your needs.
    • • Verify the operation of the HobbyConnect system and ambient LED lighting.
    • • Inspect the triple-point locking system on the extra-wide entrance door.

    Worth knowing: Confirm the specific berth configuration as this model is listed for five to six occupants. Check the impact of any fitted extras on the remaining 216kg payload.

    Compare the Hobby DE LUXE 490 KMF with similar models

    ModelBerthsMTPLMLengthTypical price
    Hobby DE LUXE 490 KMF61500 kg6.89 m£18,500 to £31,500
    Swift Challenger61450 kg6.80 m£15,000 to £35,000
    Swift Exclusive61550 kg6.80 m£20,000 to £40,000

    The Hobby DE LUXE 490 KMF occupies a specific niche for families who prioritise a three-zone layout within a sub-seven-metre length. While its 1500kg MTPLM is matched by competitors like the Knaus Sport, the Hobby distinguishes itself with the HobbyComplete equipment package and a 150-litre tower fridge. Alternatives like the Compass Casita offer more length, whereas the Swift Challenger provides a lighter MTPLM for similar berth capacity. The choice depends on whether the buyer prefers the compact efficiency and German build of the Hobby or the different dimensions and weights of its UK and European rivals.

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

    Ownership and Maintenance Tips

    • Utilise the HobbyConnect smartphone app to monitor onboard systems remotely.
    • Regularly check the Knott ANS overrun brake for smooth automatic adjustment.
    • Ensure the triple-point door lock is fully engaged before transit for security.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    • • Underestimating the 2.3m width when navigating narrow lanes or tight pitches.
    • • Exceeding the weight limit by not accounting for the large 150-litre fridge capacity.

    Worth knowing: Always verify the exact payload before loading, as factory options reduce the 216kg limit.
