Hi there
I joined about 4 weeks ago and have already had some good advice from this great site. We are narrowing in on the MH we are looking to buy in the next few weeks and I was wondering if anyone could help.
We live in Almeria, south east coast of Spain, and are just looking to purchase our first MH. We rented a MH this summer and travelled down to Gib and then up to Cadiz and beyond, and then returned to spend a week in Tarifa which was fabulous. We now have the bug and 'have to' buy soon. At present we are spending our weekends 'stalking' and observing the many MH's that have now arrived on the coast down here to bask in the 20 degree temps, and this must stop before we get arrested !!
Having trawled the various websites for as much info as possible, based on our budget and lifestyle requirements {2 of us working full time in Spain but want to escape for long weekends and the odd 2 week break and see what Spain and the rest of Europe has to offer} we are very smitten by the Hobby 600 {yrs 1989 to 1993} but can find no info or reviews on whether these are good, bad or indifferent MH's and what peoples experiences have been. Does anyone have or have had a Hobby 600 ?
We are looking to buy 2nd hand and will probably travel to German, as there appear to be a wider selection of LHD as a whole there and certainly more Hobby's. I would welcome ANY comments, advice, thoughts or experience anyone has these MH's, anything on reliability, cost of parts if needed, defects or problems, or anything anyone has encountered. The more info the better and at the moment, I am finding it hard to get any feedback. They look great and seem good value, and for what we want which is weekend trips and the odd week travelling Spain they seem fine for the 2 of us and our dog !
As an alternative, we are looking at Hymer Camps, Hymer 544's and maybe Dethleffs all around the 1993 age and budget around 8000 pounds max. Thanks for any help or advice you may have on Hobby 600's or the Hymers or others and any advice or comments about buying in Germany and how this went for people. Many thanks.
