Great vlog guys . Never looked at Hobby before so it was a great insight as didn't even know it was german built . Love the beachy i could tow it behind ours and put Zoe in it when shes drunk 😂😂 ❤
Morning Slaws You’ve got us hooked even though we can’t afford one ha ha - we’ve just booked tickets for this years show at the NEC - will you guys be on the Hobby stand this year - hope so maybe see you there 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Stephen! We absolutely love our Hobby. She’s the second Hobby we’ve had ❤️ Sadly, not at the show this October as we have other plans. You’ll have a great time; there is so much to see 🚍☀️
The 92k for the deluxe plus spec leather seats and habitation aircon and you are looking at nearly 100k. I think I will stay with my Burstner for a while longer. I agree the german built MH's are built well.
Great review video. The Beachy Pod was brilliant! Gutted we didn't make it there this year. I loved the Hobby Deluxe, but I'd love to know why they didn't put a cover on the hob burners. Thanks for sharing this video with us, take care ❤
Hi Linda, all our vans have been German built. We find their build quality superior. Our second was a Hobby and we were very impressed! We wanted more living space though because we spend a lot of time in the van. We looked at every make and model going before settling on Helga. She has the perfect layout for us and we’re very pleased with her quality xx
@@TheSlawsAdventures thanks a million I ordered a Lotus grill on line after watching your review. Do you mind me asking what wind breaker you use outside your awning? Looks good and strong 💪
@@grahamdowling4931 it’s a Kampa Dometic Pro 3 (not the air model). It’s the strongest one we have found (and we’ve tried loads over the years 🤦🏻♀️) even holds out on disused airfields which are notoriously windy 👍🏻
My personal opinion of all large motor homes is their size and dual purpose of living quarters and vehicle, all rolled into one. I see them all the time at camp sites, more or less stuck there and having to use bicycles locally or tow or drive another car or use public transport to get beyond the camp site. They are also totally impractical for things like the NC500 on narrow roads and can't find the space to park them at attractions etc. They also often have to move off pitch, just to fill or empty their water / waste tanks. If you do get beyond the camp site, you have to take every expensive possession with you, not having the facility to leave it behind at a camp site, which is safer. The whole large motorhome idea seems fundamentally flawed to me. I believe that i have stumbled upon the best set up. We originally bought a lwb transporter sized van new and got it fully professionally converted with a pop top and everything else. It is very good for exploring remote areas and parking at attractions and reasobably good at accomodating 2 people but obviously no where near perfect for living space on it's own. We added to it by buying a 7.5 metre fixed bed 4 berth caravan, which we now tow with the campervan. Serendipity has led us to the perfect solution for all scenarios now, with masses of room in the caravan or if we want to go off exploring on single track roads etc we can but still have cooking and toilet facilities or a mix and match of either or both campervan and caravan. The campervan is perfect for towing as well, as it covers the caravan's front aspect, which makes excellent total rig aerodynamics and the heavier weight of the campervan as opposed to a large car, stops overtaking vehicle suck completely. I can now travel right up to the 60 mph limit without any caravan tail waggle whatsoever.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. If look at our back catalogue of vlogs you will see that we took our 7m motorhome around the full NC500 including Bealach na Ba and the wee mad road (Drumbeg loop) where we towed another smaller motorhome out as they had dropped a wheel over the edge. We also drove the full Wild Atlantic Way last year, including the very narrow Beara peninsula. We had no issues whatsoever. We enjoy cycling out from campsites and find our set up works perfectly for us. Thankfully we are all different in this world and there are units to suit us all🚍☀️
It appears that a lot of people do not understand the empty vehicle weight and its legal upper weight limit. Maybe a VLOG showing the plate and explaining what the varying weights actually mean would be a useful addition to your library!
Look a lot of people do videos on motorhomes but please could you all mention payloads some of these vehicles are 3500kg by the time you’ve put your fuel on gas on clothes on and then the passenger and his and her clothes on your over weight what’s the weight of your van Mr slaw😮
Look, if someone is going to the bother of spending all that money on a motorhome, they’d be daft not to research their own payload. There’s lots of hacks out there to save weight 👍🏻
We’re very pleased with our Hobby, but she is nearly seven years old now. The new version does have a very Scandinavian feel which is different. I’m glad we’re not paying today’s prices though 👍🏻

Are you available for after dinner speeches now ? " An evening with the Slaw’s " coming soon to your area 😂😂
Ha ha! Available for weddings, funerals and bar mitzvah too 🤣
I love the older Hobby rear vertical lighting cluster
There are some great old Hobbys out there! We like the 750s 👍🏻

Yes, we’re staying with our Helga for a while longer 👍🏻
I think you van is Mitch better . I love your layout xx
Thank you! So do we ❤️

This is currently in demand here in Germany
Thanks Peta!
@@marwin8768 it looks great 👍🏻
Fab video, there is so much choice out there, what drew you towards the Hobby if you dont mind me asking,? xx

@@TheSlawsAdventures Wonderfull to find something that is so well made and great quality as you say you use Helga a lot and that is so important xx
I love your bbq I seen in a few of your videos in France.Would you mind if I asked what is the make and model of the bbq? Thanks
Hi Graham, it’s a LotusGrill. This vlog shows it in detail ruclips.net/video/siCkZxqB2FM/видео.htmlsi=h2HH_wu8i7EKtDJp

Next to the stage - you should have done a talk! XX.R.
Ha ha!! No one would have understood our accents 🤣
It appears that a lot of people do not understand the empty vehicle weight and its legal upper weight limit. Maybe a VLOG showing the plate and explaining what the varying weights actually mean would be a useful addition to your library!
Maybe one day when we’re not gallivanting 🤣
I still prefer yours though.
Our Helga is just perfect for us! The only van we’ve seen to replace her, is over £130K 😱
How can you better helgar x

Tempted ?
No. Very happy with Helga ❤️
I find the vehicles a bit, no, very disappointing. There is no imagination and development. Those prices though are becoming unreal.
We’re very pleased with our Hobby, but she is nearly seven years old now. The new version does have a very Scandinavian feel which is different. I’m glad we’re not paying today’s prices though 👍🏻
No good for sitting in during the evening or daytime.
Do you mean the Beachy? First time we’ve seen them. Very different!
Hi Slaw`s are you being paid by Hobby for this one 🙄
Hi Mick, yes, they’ve given us a brand new van 🤣 I wish! Nope! We’re just sharing our very well known love of the Hobby brand 👍🏻
oh shit i wanted your old one 😊👍❤@@TheSlawsAdventures
