Hobby has announced changes to its Excellent Edition caravan for the current model year. The interior has been made warmer with wood tones featuring coarser, more vivid grain in places where white cabinets were previously used, and ambient lighting has been added along the top, under the cabinets and in the corners. An optional digital control panel is available. Together with Knott, Hobby has made the underside of the caravan flat so that pipes, electrical wires and axles no longer disturb the airflow; this is expected to significantly reduce drag and cut fuel consumption of the towing vehicle. According to the video, the underbody panel will eventually be available for all Knott chassis, not only Hobby. The 495UL model has a body length of 5.94 m, a technically permissible weight of 1,500 kg (which can be increased) and an unladen weight of about 1,300 kg; a category B driving licence is sufficient.
