The CaravanTimes returns with another Classic Gold throwback for your reading pleasure, this time we’re examining the 2010 Hobby 650 Excelsior.
We’re eager to know if our early impressions match up to the reality of what it’s like to live with these classic caravans and motorhomes, so give us your thoughts and let us know if we got it right!
We asked Lisa Flude to give us her impressions of the Hobby 650 Excelsior back in 2013 and she was more than happy to give the vehicle a thorough testing.
Lisa was especially pleased by the fantastic interior, with plenty of space to relax and get comfortable, as well as mood lighting that makes the area that much more inviting at night. Indeed, she noted it “causes a gasp when people come inside and it’s so plush and posh”.
One drawback was the lack of an oven, with only a hob top for cooking. There was also an issue that a battery backup did not come as standard, but that was easily rectified and added later.
In terms of value for money, Lisa gave the Hobby 650 Excelsior a rating of four out of five stars, but overall she rated the vehicle 5 out of 5. The “great layout”, “gorgeous lighting” and “fantastic fixed bed” were all highlights for Lisa that helped make it a perfect five-star review.
Let us know what you think of the Hobby 650 Excelsior, as well as if there are other classic caravans you’d like to see get the Classic Gold treatment.
