Compare the Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 495 UL with similar models
| Model | Berths | MTPLM | Length | Typical price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 495 UL | 4 | 1550 kg | 7.12 m | £22,000 to £31,500 |
| Bailey Unicorn Cadiz | 4 | 1600 kg | 7.34 m | £18,000 to £34,000 |
| Bailey Unicorn Deluxe Vigo | 4 | 1500 kg | 7.34 m | £18,500 to £33,995 |
The Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 495 UL sits in a competitive segment alongside models like the Bailey Unicorn Deluxe Cadiz and Elddis Crusader Aurora. While the Hobby is noted for its 2.3m width and Scandinavian design, the Bailey alternatives often offer a lower MTPLM, which may suit different towing vehicles. The Elddis Crusader Aurora provides a longer body at 7.3m. Choosing between them depends on whether the buyer prioritises the Hobby's specific interior finish and HobbyConnect technology over the slightly different weight and length profiles of its UK-built counterparts.
Worth knowing: Specifications and prices can vary by model year, trim and optional equipment.
Ownership and Maintenance Tips
- Utilise the HobbyConnect app to monitor heating levels remotely during winter use.
- Regularly check the Knott ANS automatic adjustment brakes for optimal towing safety.
- Ensure the pleated blind on the extra-wide door is retracted correctly to avoid damage.
Common mistakes to avoid
- • Exceeding the 264kg payload capacity with heavy optional extras.
- • Underestimating the turning circle required for a 7.12m single-axle caravan.
Worth knowing: Payload must be managed carefully to stay within the 1550kg MTPLM limit. The 2.63m height should be noted for clearance under low bridges or car parks.
