Im new to the forum and also new to the World of Motorhomes.
I just purchased a Hobby 750 FMSE year 2000 with a 2.8 fiat Diesel engine. I read a few reviews and people seem to agree that the quality of Hobby motorhomes is very good. I always had caravans and Hobby's were definetely one of the best brands out there. What is your opinion of the 750 model in particular?
Anyone has manuals for it?
I read on this forum that there was a test of this model in the Motor Caravan Magazine in 2005. The member of this forum G2EWS had a copy of it but I can not send him a PM as Im not a Subscriber yet. Can anyone help out?
Many thanks in advance and looking forward to hearing your comments about my MH.
I have the manual in PDF format. It is a large file as it covers other Hobby models. E-mail me on Robflyer@hotmail.com and I can either send it to you as an attachment or I can put it on a CD and send it snail mail.

Thanks Robflyer,
I will email you now. And attachment should be good unless you think is too big.
That's a very smart looking truck - is it a left-hooker?
I'm sure you'll have plenty of great times ahead.
Hi there,
Yes, it is. I'm planning to travel in the UK first and after around Europe for longer trips so it should help there. I am Spanish so it didnt bother too much.
I cant wait to go out for a long weekend (bit concerned about the size of it but still looking forward to it) I am in the process of finding some solar panels ( it looks like there were 3 panels installed on the roof as the brackets have been left there, not sure about wiring, controllers, etcetera..) I also have to replace the tyres ( a bit perished on the side walls and especially the cambelt. It has only done 28K miles but it is 11 years old! I guess it will be wise to do that and also do oil and filters at the same time,
what do you think guys?

What is giving you concern for your cambelt? At only 28k miles I think it may be a bit early for a cam belt change - I would hold off unless a pro (you can trust) is recommending this work. Its a major and therefore expensive job. Sorry to ask this, but are you confusing the fan belt with cam belt?????
Change engine oil and filter for sure and don't forget other oil levels, i.e. gearbox and axle.
It would be difficult to miss such a good looking truck - we'll look out for you.
Welcome to the land of "Hobbyts" !!
Fab van. I am a mere female and drive this through London to the Crystal Palace regularly. Handles beautifully and speed bumps are but anthills!! Size no problem and a lot easier than a car and caravan. Mpg good except when hubby drives but he goes faster. We are taking ours to Tuscany in May.
Re maintenance we bought ours with 13,000 on the clock and 05 plate. We had all belts replaced and new tyres all round including spare (ouch!!) My mechanic deals with our fleet vehicles and also my horse wagon - he says under use is worse than over and belts perish as do tyres.
Seems small change to pay if one considers the cost of cam belt breakages and tyre blow outs.
And isn't the bathroom fab??

My main concern is the age not the mileage. I always heard that in most vehicles, you should replace the cambelt every 5 year or every 50-60 thousand miles, whichever occurs first. The 5 year period I always thought it was too cautious but considering that this cambelt has been on the engine for about 10 years....... just for piece of mind, I'd rather get it replaced. I dont want the cambelt to snap whilst I am driving through the alps!! ouch. My local mechanic quoted me £200 labour plus £80 for the belt and tensioners which sounded very cheap I thought.
Thanks for your comments. I hope we meet up one day!!
