why do gypsys like hobby tag axe caravans Forums

alunj

we had a hobby caravn before the hymer.

I think they like them because they are cheap (compartivly)
Reasonably well buit and very unlikly to leak

As some one else stated the 2.5m wide ones are tax free in germany due to their residential status. Its not leagal to tow one (2.5m) with a vehicle of less than 3.5Tonne

Hmmm. I bought my Hobby tax free in Germany and managed to keep hold of it for all of 12 months back in good old blighty before it was nicked Sad

The Germans have a pretty straightforward system to prove ownership. Each van comes with a plasticised, impossible to destroy 'Abwickelshein' (definate spelling error) When challenged you provide the paperwork that matches the van - no paperwork and the state is the proud owner of a new Hobby caravan Cool

Unfortunately I still have the paperwork Crying or Very sad
