Promobil magazine has launched a multi-month supertest of the Hobby De Luxe 460 UFe caravan. The model, with a body length of 5.46 m and a width of 2.30 m, is designed for a couple but can accommodate guests or a small family thanks to a convertible seating area. A permissible total weight of 1.5 tons allows a wide range of tow vehicles. The standard equipment is comprehensive for holidays; the test vehicle includes only four extras.

promobil editors have begun a long-term test of the Hobby Ontour Van 600 FT on a Citroën Light chassis. The 5.99 m long, 2.05 m wide and 2.66 m high camper with a 3.5 t GVWR and 140 hp diesel will be evaluated for reliability, fuel consumption, wear and comfort. Base price is €69,245; the test vehicle with options (automatic, panoramic roof, ambient lighting, side window) costs €76,100. Special attention will be paid to the limited payload (536 kg) and sleeping arrangements (rear bed 1.94×1.40 m, convertible dinette 1.82×0.58 m).

German manufacturer Frankia from Oberhaid is radically restructuring its range: classic F-Line, Titan and Platin series are being discontinued, replaced by new models on Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis. The new Noctra Liner (from €157,900) and Neo Liner (from €124,900) are built on Sprinter, while the Together Edition anniversary model (from €119,900 for alcove, from €143,900 for integrated) and Final Edition F-Line/Titan (from €139,990) remain on Fiat Ducato. From 2027, all Frankia motorhomes will be front-wheel drive only, with rear-wheel drive dropped from the program.

The article describes a first family holiday in an Ahorn Camp A690 motorhome with a two-year-old child. During the trip to the Netherlands, the child complained about noise from the Renault Master, which the author says is not quiet. The author finds the noise level acceptable, noting that other motorhomes may rattle more, but a large alcove is not a silent dream. The main question is whether the Ahorn A690 is the right vehicle for a family with a child and whether they will survive the camping trip.
