Overrun brake KNOTT ANS with automatic adjustment

The KNOTT ANS overrun brake adjusts itself automatically, guaranteeing unrestricted braking performance at all times. A key safety feature, particularly in critical driving conditions.

Rear fog light

A multitude of lighting elements, the majority of which are LED, increase the visibility of the caravan. They are harmoniously integrated into the contours of the vehicle, thereby emphasising the distinctly automotive design. The third brake light is a decisive safety advantage. The bright LED awning light illuminates the doorway and provides a pleasant light in the awning.

The picture shows the “Excellent” model range.

Wheel shock absorbers

The wheel shock absorbers counteract vibrations in the caravan, thereby reducing how much it rocks. In addition to this safety feature, they also lessen the impact from uneven road surfaces, protecting the chassis as well as everything on board.

Tyre repair set

The tyre repair kit includes sealant as well as a compressor to reinflate the tyre.

Combi Cassette with pleated blind and fly screen, for all windows

Hinged window, can be opened, double-glazed and tinted

The double-glazed, tinted vent windows with safety locks are specially moulded, which – together with the thicker material – makes them much more resistant to stresses and deformation (especially heat and cold). Another positive effect is the improved sound insulation, while a new, reliable sealing system provides long-lasting protection against the ingress of moisture.

*Please note the following when consulting the technical details: The maximum technically permissible laden mass is the gross vehicle weight specified by the manufacturer, which must not be exceeded under any circumstances while driving the vehicle. In general, the “mass in running order” corresponds to the weight of the standard, empty vehicle in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, and in the case of motorhomes and vans, includes the fuel tank filled to at least 90%, the mass of the driver (which is calculated at 75 kg), the fuel and liquids as well as the mass of the body, the cab, the trailer hitch (if fitted as standard) and the tyre repair set. For caravans, the mass in running order includes the mass of the vehicle equipped with standard equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications, including fluids and the mass of the body, additional trailer hitches (if fitted as standard) and the tyre repair set. This is a calculated value, which is subject to legally permissible tolerances of up to ± 5% (see note in brackets). Since the occurrence of legally permissible tolerances has a direct impact on the remaining loading capacity, these tolerances must be taken into account when configuring the vehicle. The maximum mass for optional extras is a value calculated for each layout that HOBBY uses to limit the available mass for optional extras that can be ordered and fitted at the factory. The aim of this value is to ensure that the legally prescribed minimum loading capacity is observed. If selecting optional extras increases the actual vehicle mass to such an extent that there is no longer sufficient available mass between the actual vehicle mass and the maximum technically permissible laden mass for the passengers (only with motorhomes and vans) and the minimum loading capacity, depending on the layout, you can choose to increase the load capacity of the vehicle (increase the maximum technically permissible laden mass) during the configuration. Alternatively, you can reduce the permitted number of people while driving (only for motorhomes and vans) and/or deselect optional extras. Otherwise, you will be unable to continue configuring the vehicle or proceed with the ordering process. For motorhomes and vans, the maximum number of permitted people while in transit specified in each case is dependent on the weight and axle load. It may be reduced when optional extras and accessories are installed, in which case individual seats must be removed to ensure the legally prescribed minimum loading capacity is observed. A weight of 75 kg is calculated for each person travelling, regardless of how much the passengers actually weigh. Since the driver is already included in the mass in running order, he/she is not included in the mass of the passengers. The capacity of the fresh water tank is reduced while taking into account the driving restriction (valve on the fresh water tank).
