Hello there. I have just joined this forum as I would like to buy a Hobby motorhome. The only thing is that I would like a french bed and it should ideally be no more than 6.4m. The motorhome I mean, not the bed!! Do Hobby actually make a model with these features or do I have to go back to the drawing board.
We are looking for a used one but preferably no more than 3 years old. We have the cash in place and ready to go. Can anybody help here. Would love to hear from you.
The Hobby Toskana 600 FL (low profile) was listed in their 2010 catalogue, and gave the length as 6.47m. It has a French bed layout, but whether or not any exist in the UK is another question.
I'd guess that the French bed is called that for a reason, and there are likely to be more French vans offering them, but, by their very nature, they work better in a longer van, where the significant loss of floor space is that bit less important.
I too wanted a van less than 6.5m, and am happy with our A-class, where the drop-down always-made-up bed wastes no floor space (but conversely offers no underbed storage). It suits us.

LOL - I am an Irishman driving a German bought, German made wagon - a Hobby T650 FSC ( 6.9m long with French bed ) and am amused to hear that apparently French beds are supposedly in French vans only
Krustyhoor, as a fellow Celt (?) you're just trying to stir a bit for the craic, aren't you, as that's NOT what I said?
I was trying to be helpful in suggesting there might be a slightly better chance of a wide selection of French models with French beds, as they introduced them and the original poster wanted a used van.
Of course there are plenty of German, British, Italian and Croatian vans (at least) with them. Finding one less than 6.4 m in length as the OP required is more of a challenge, and yours at 6.9m is a bit long in that regard.
