I've heard of them, and Hobby caravans not being welcomed on sites.
Hobby are a transport/living quarters choice of travellers.

There used to be issues with some sites but now, instead of banning Hobbys, some ban tag axles for the same reason.

What’s a tag axle?

 

[bigtwin]

What’s a tag axle?

A vehicle with two axles (and four wheels) at the back. When viewed from the side, you see one wheel at the front and two wheels near the back. Like this:

Not only Hobby but also LMC have known to be banned from sites.

I have come across several sites that either ban tag axles or limit them to a few pitches.
The main reason is they tear up the grass, nothing to do with the potential occupants!

Twin wheeled caravans not allowed in lots of french camp sites, we found.

 

[MisterB]

ive heard that Adria's are not allowed on lots of paying sites/aires in France or throughout Europe, so i have to find free aires, park ups, chateaus etc wherever possible ........



at least thats what i tell the navigator .......

 

[DT]

Definitely one site in Porthmadog that won't take Hobby caravans.

[Tombola]

so now I know why the gipsy guy I sort of know has lots of Hobby vans on in caravan sales yard.
well I never

 

[WallaceandGromit]

Remember in the 80s we had a prototype tycoon caravan built by ABI it was painted silver a few sites assumed we were travellers till we showed them our C&CC cards

 

[Charente16]

I understand Twin Axle Tabbert vans - built by Knaus - are the absolute Bees' knees's when it comes to Traveller vans. The reason being 'Tabbert' will custom build the vans without a toilet in the van, they use a smaller van for toilet purposes. Hence you usually see two vans in convoy.

[Outdoors Dad]

I suppose hobby and tabert must be be very good build quality if travelling people use them full time??

The last caravan we had was a Hobby, never had any problems with sites.
Awful lot of Hobby's about, they are Europe's largest Caravan manufacturer.

When a group of these people turned up and occupied our local par, the park was closed when they left because it was deemed to be a health hazard. They didn’t have toilet facilities just used the hedge, how hygienic is that? Don’t have a toilet in the living accommodation that’s dirty, crap in the hedge, no problem.

 

[Gingernuts]

Especially if towed by a ford transit!!!!!

 

[Spriddler]

How do Hobby m/homes differ from other makes which attracts itinerants to them? Outwardly they seem the same as many other makes.

Did read somewhere that Carthago are on the list as a lot of undesirables are starting to drive them

 

[Gingernuts]

I think it was Abbey Wood that a heated “discussion” started after a “traveller” tried to get on the site to no avail (was 10 years ago though)

 

[Otter Spotter]

I wonder how many are on the stolen register? Just asking for a friend

 

[68c]

When I read the first post in this thread I assumed 'Hobby' meant a self built van, built by a hobbyist. Cannot see any reason a specific mainstream van would be banned.

What’s a tag axle?

It means twin axle group,on the rear end. hence TAG
