Is the Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 490 KMF the right family caravan?
The Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 490 KMF is a dedicated five-berth family caravan that prioritises contemporary design and efficient space management. Measuring 6.89m in length, it features a fixed transverse double bed at the front and space-saving longitudinal bunk beds at the rear. With a 1600kg MTPLM and a 312kg payload, it offers a robust platform for active families, supported by modern technology like the HobbyConnect smartphone control system.
- Five-berth family layout featuring rear longitudinal bunk beds.
- Front-positioned transverse double bed and a convertible side dinette.
- Modern Excellent Edition interior with light-toned surfaces.
- High-capacity Super-slim Tower refrigerator and soft-close kitchen drawers.
- KNOTT ANS automatic adjustment brake system for towing stability.
Worth knowing: The 1600kg MTPLM requires a vehicle with significant towing capacity. Transverse front bed design requires one occupant to climb over another to exit. Central corridor space may be restricted when the side dinette is in use.
Buying a Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 490 KMF
Who it suits
- • Families of five who prefer a fixed-bed layout for both adults and children.
- • Owners of capable tow vehicles looking for a 1600kg MTPLM caravan.
- • Buyers who favour Scandi-inspired, light-toned interior aesthetics over traditional wood.
Reasons to consider it
- • Efficient use of its 6.89m length to provide three distinct sleeping areas.
- • High-end exterior finish and renowned German build quality.
- • Integrated technology for remote control of onboard systems.
What to check
- • Verify the specific year of manufacture as production began in 2022.
- • Confirm the operation of the HobbyConnect system with your smartphone.
- • Check the condition of the soft-close drawer mechanisms in the kitchen.

Worth knowing: The 2.32m width is standard for this class but requires careful navigation in tight spaces. Payload of 312kg must be managed carefully when packing for five people.
Compare the Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 490 KMF with similar models
| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 490 KMF | 5 | 1600 kg | 6.89 m | £24,500 to £32,950 |
| Coachman Vision | 5 | 1550 kg | 7.32 m | £14,000 to £26,500 |
| Swift Exclusive | 6 | 1550 kg | 6.80 m | £20,000 to £40,000 |
The Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 490 KMF sits in a competitive price bracket between 24500 and 32950. When compared to alternatives like the Swift Conqueror or La Mancelle Fantaisy, it distinguishes itself through its specific 490 KMF layout which balances a 1600kg MTPLM with a five-berth capacity. While some competitors offer six berths in a similar length, the Hobby focuses on a bright, modern interior aesthetic and integrated smartphone technology. The choice between these models often rests on whether the buyer prioritises the Hobby's specific bunk arrangement and contemporary styling over the higher berth counts or different weight profiles found in the Swift or Knaus alternatives.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the large wardrobe and overhead lockers to keep the 2.32m wide corridor clear.
- When using the side dinette as a berth, ensure the conversion is fully locked for stability.
- Take advantage of the 6.89m length when choosing pitches, as it fits most standard UK sites.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Overloading the 312kg payload by installing heavy aftermarket accessories.
- • Neglecting to update the HobbyConnect software for optimal tech performance.
Worth knowing: Always verify the towing limit of your vehicle against the 1600kg MTPLM.
