Hi,
We are about to change our motorhome from a Bessacar 710 to a Hobby750FML!! from Oaktree Motorhomes.
Can't wait to have the extra space!! we entertain in the van at weekends and hope to accommodate up to 10 people to eat!!! I'm wondering if anyone has changed the oven and hob for a full cooker? Swift and Bessacars have a nice 'Stoves' cooker ?
It's a LHD imported with a kph speedo, has anyone fitted a speedo converter plate please??
Andrea (on my own as Dennis is off working to pay for the new van!!!)
I'm new to this posting malarky!!
I must say we have learned so much and met so many great people since joining the website.
We went to Shepton Mallet this year and thats where we saw our 'dream' van.
Looking forward to the next meet that we will be able to get to!!
If I had to change my van I would be giving Hobby some serious consideration. They always look good and seem to be particularly well built. I do hope you have a great time although 10 people in my van would be entered in the Guniess Book of records along with how many people can you cram into a telephone box. I like people but not in herds.
Was it one of those directly opposite the MHF pitch?
We were so impressed with Phil and Jan's (Glen432) Hobby on the Saturday evening. Very comfortable and spacious. And they're so distinctive on the road. We saw one on the other carriageway of the A12 this afternoon, and you could tell it was a Hobby from 100 yards away. I think it was a 750 - tag axle?
Imported our second Hobby 750 in April thru Bundesvan. We had a 2001 Blue 750Fmse before. We have removed the fixed table and had one made with folding legs from Cak tanks which stays on the fixed bed till wanted which makes a huge lounge space. We use a small folding table for coffee cups or drinks
Never bothered with speedo change as we use TomTom Go satnav which shows a more accurate speed in mph. If you put an oven in you will lose a lot of drawer and cupboard space and have to put up with the rattles ! We use a Remoska mini oven on site or a double skillet off site in the van or on a portable gas cooker outside. No smells !
You have chosen a FAB van, any queries email us
No, we bought the van from the same company as Phil & Jan - Oaktree. The actual van was on there display!! we first saw it Sat afternoon, it wasn't until we spoke to Phil & Jan that we really started to think seriously!!!
We actually came to the show to buy batteries. It was a good show and really enjoyed meeting other MHF fans!!! what a friendly crowd, the meet afterwards at Brean was really good!!
This is history repeating itself! the first Kontiki we bought was after going into Don Amotts to buy a water container.
We are excited!! and can't wait to collect it on 3/11.
Like Jan & Phil we would like to fulltime!! and think this van will do everything we want!!
We might not have a 750 but I can assure you that you won't be disappointed with your new Hobby. We've had ours for just over a year now and have been most impressed with the quality and performance. We were on a site yesterday when a chap knocked the door and asked how I had fitted the towbar and scooter rack, he wanted to put one on his Autosleeper and said he couldn't fancy using the flimsy looking chassis extensions to secure it. He took one look under our van and couldn't believe it - chassis extensions built from 8mm thick galvanised section - typical German belt & braces. He went away muttering something about British quality under his breath.

Thank you, the ideas are great especially about losing the draw space!! I really loved the fact that there is a large draw!! unusual in vans.
I will put my thinking cap on again, (I was thinking of the better half's!! diet really, he just loves homemade cakes!!! hence wanting the full oven,don't tell him the cakes are mainly low fat!!)
We love the idea of removing the centre table, will have to give serious thought!!
Hello Gaspode,
We've had a few vans over the years but I think this may be our best buy yet!! and agree the build quality is good!
Dennis has always been worried about weight with the Bessacar as it is 3.5 ton, with the Hobby I don't think we will have to worry!! as long as I can take my sewing machine! I would happily live in the van!!
