Hobby 2026: here's what's new

For the 2026 season, Hobby is introducing a number of updates to its motorhome and caravan range, starting with the new bathrooms on the Ontour Van models

Published on 28/08/2025



At Hobby, there is an important change for the camper vans in the Ontour Van series, which now feature a new variable-volume bathroom: thanks to the rotating washbasin partition, a proper shower compartment can be created in just a few seconds. For the 2026 season, a panoramic skylight in the front overcab is also available as an option.


The Ontour Van range comprises two models, both based on the Citroën Jumper. The 600 FT version measures 599 cm in length and offers a rear transverse bed inside. The larger 640 ET, meanwhile, reaches 636 cm in length and features a large longitudinal double bed.

 
The 2026 Hobby van models feature new safety and driver assistance systems, but they also adopt a new 7" touch control panel, standard on the Prestige Van range and optional on the Ontour Van series. Dometic's combined 2-in-1 battery charger has also been introduced, offering both battery charging and booster functions. The emergency start function is useful when there is no mains power available, should the vehicle battery run flat.


The Hobby range is expanded with the introduction of the low-profile Prestige T 710 GE: its nautically-inspired look is derived from the already well-known vans in the Prestige Van series. The new model is built on a Fiat Ducato mechanical base with a 4,400 kg overall chassis, a 180 hp engine and automatic transmission. Overall length is 705 cm. It features the ever-popular sleeping area with two longitudinal beds positioned above the spacious garage.



 
The central bathroom is compact and positioned opposite the spacious kitchen, while the front living area with an L-shaped dinette completes the picture. The new 7” touch control panel is standard on the Maxia T and Prestige T models, and optional on all other motorhome ranges. Another new feature is Dometic's new combined 2-in-1 battery charger: it reduces both bulk and weight, and its integrated emergency start function can be activated via the app or directly on the device.


 
Caravans

For the 2026 season, Hobby caravans adopt new combinations of upholstery and curtains, with a modern style made even more vibrant by new sets of coloured cushions. The De Luxe 460 SFf and 460 SL models are equipped with a newly designed rear bathroom, which includes a folding partition that separates the shower area from the rest of the bathroom when required.


In the De Luxe and Ontour ranges, the kitchens have been improved with the addition of splashbacks and power sockets (230 V and USB CA). The Prestige range benefits from a revamped interior design, with furnishings featuring glossy white fronts. New is the 7” touch control panel, standard on the Maxia and Prestige models, and optional on all other caravan ranges.
