    Is the Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 495 UL a practical choice?

    The Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 495 UL is a single-axle caravan designed for couples or small families, offering between two and four berths. It features a distinctive twin-bed layout and a Scandinavian-inspired interior with Nordic Grey furniture. With a length of 7.12m and a payload of 264kg, it balances living space with a generous allowance for personal belongings.

    • Twin longitudinal single beds with high-quality foam mattresses.
    • Rear U-shaped seating group that converts into a double bed.
    • HobbyConnect system for smartphone-based lighting and heating control.
    • 133-litre Dometic Super-Slim Tower refrigerator.
    • Knott ANS automatic adjustment brakes and overrun braking system.

    Worth knowing: The 2.3m width may require extra care when navigating narrow lanes. Pricing is positioned at a premium compared to entry-level single-axle models. Towing vehicle compatibility should be verified due to the 1550kg MTPLM.

    Buying a Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 495 UL

    Who it suits

    • • Couples who prefer the convenience of twin beds over a climbing over a partner.
    • • Tourers who appreciate modern, bright interior aesthetics and panoramic windows.
    • • Small families requiring a flexible U-shaped lounge that converts to a second double bed.

    Reasons to consider it

    • • High-quality German engineering on a robust Knott chassis.
    • • Substantial 264kg payload for a single-axle caravan.
    • • Modern kitchen equipped with a Super-Slim Tower refrigerator and stainless steel appliances.

    What to check

    • • Verify the operation of the HobbyConnect system with a compatible smartphone.
    • • Inspect the condition of the high-quality foam mattresses in the twin-bed area.
    • • Check the triple-point locking mechanism on the extra-wide entrance door.

    Worth knowing: Confirm the specific year of manufacture as specifications can vary by model year. Ensure your towing vehicle is rated for the 1550kg MTPLM using a towing calculator.

    Compare the Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 495 UL with similar models

    ModelBerthsMTPLMLengthTypical price
    Hobby EXCELLENT EDITION 495 UL41550 kg7.12 m£22,000 to £31,500
    Bailey Unicorn Cadiz41600 kg7.34 m£18,000 to £34,000
    Bailey Unicorn Deluxe Vigo41500 kg7.34 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.
