History

Your freedom means the world to us

And has done for more than 50 years! Hobby caravans and motorhomes are characterised by their modern layout solutions, homely interiors, meticulous attention to detail and premium standard equipment package.

The cutting-edge production facilities at the company’s site in Fockbek near Rendsburg, where caravans and motorhomes are manufactured, are among the largest of their kind in the world. With a Europe-wide market share of over 25 percent, Hobby has been the market leader in the caravan sector for many years.

The popularity of the Hobby brand and the company’s rise to becoming the world’s leading caravan manufacturer are the result of numerous ground-breaking innovations. These include the introduction of the automatic reversing system, the use of the hot-dip galvanised chassis, the development of the cassette toilet and, more recently, the ongoing expansion of modern communication technology based on the CI-BUS on-board management system developed by Hobby.

Since the company was founded in 1967, Hobby has always succeeded in launching leisure vehicles onto the market that represent excellent value for money. And that will continue to be the case in the future.
