New Hobby launches replace the Siesta range

Hobby has launched a new three-model overcab range for the 2021 season, to replace its existing Siesta range and bring it more in line with its other entry-level models.

Like the Optima On Tour range, the Optima Overcabs are based on a Citroen and aim to have the same look and feel as On Tour low-profiles. The three models that will be available for next season include two transverse bed models, the A60GF and the longer A70GFM with a much larger front dinette. There is also the A65KM, with lateral bunks in the rear.

The German manufacturer has also added three new layouts to the continuing On Tour and slightly more upmarket On Tour De Luxe low-profile ranges.

The Citroen-based T70E and T70F are both 6.99m long and both have a washroom at the rear. The T70E has two fixed single beds while the T70F has a French bed.

Hobby has also introduced the T70HGE, again 6.99m long but this time with fixed single beds in the rear and a drop-down bed over the front dinette, into its Fiat-based Optima De Luxe range.

Peter Baber is Reviews Editor of both Practical Motorhome and Practical Caravan. He has been reviewing motorhomes for the best part of a decade now. His first caravan reviews date back to the early 1990s when he first worked on Practical Caravan, before he embarked on a 20-year career in business journalism which saw him edit a wide variety of magazines, and launch a few too, including one that won an award. Although he enjoyed that, he always knew he wanted to come back. Peter reports on all the new models that make it to dealer forecourts each season, giving his judgement online and in magazine reviews. He has twice been shortlisted for a Caravan Writers Guild award. When he is not working, apart from going on motorhome trips himself (mostly local to where he lives in West Yorkshire, but also last year right across France) he likes trying to write novels, cooking, throwing the odd pot, and has just taken up tennis.
