The Hobby 600 motor home has been produced since 1981, acquired cult status as early as the 80s and is particularly appreciated by motor home fans because of its innovative design. In 2012, the fourth generation of this model with several attractive innovations was presented, but the later series could not really compete with the charm of the original.

For many years, motor home fans have been aware of the successful Hobby 600 model. The first series of the Hobby 600 as well as the version available since 2012 offer up to four sleeping berths and extensive equipment including kitchen, toilet with shower and numerous connections for electronic devices. The 2012 model is 6.97 m long, 2.33 m wide and has a total permitted weight of 3.5 tonnes. It is therefore slightly larger than its predecessor. The modern design of the new version is, however, much more noticeable and makes even convinced nostalgics take a second look. The internal fittings may vary considerably: The sleeping and living area, just like the kitchen and driver’s cabin, can be equipped according to personal taste. People who want to buy second-hand motor homes of the Hobby 600 series should therefore not only look at the price, but also at the fittings for their model. By the way, some of the fittings can still be reconfigured after buying a Hobby 600 motor home.

You should obtain detailed information concerning the state of the vehicle once you have selected a specific type. Particularly important in this context is the year of construction, the mileage as well as any possible damage. You should always arrange a viewing date in advance to have a good look at the motor home. You should bring a torch to the appointment so that you can check the wheel arches, shock absorbers and the underfloor for rust and damage. Older vehicles frequently have technical faults that are less obvious than visible flaws.

The vehicle size is also important when you buy a second-hand Hobby 600 motor home.
