ONTOUR CARAVAN 2018 SEASON

ONTOUR - The entry-level model
• New outer finishing like the De Luxe
• New exterior décor
• 4 floor plans inc. 1 children’s bed floor plan
• 2.20 m overall width
• Furniture as in the De Luxe
• New furniture décor Cocobolo/Piquet grey
• New upholstery combination “Taiga”
• New, wide entrance door
The Ontour series remains true to
its seasoned line as a compact and
agile voyage caravan in the 2018
season. None of the four models is
wider than 2.20 metres! That makes 390 SF
the Ontour an ideal companion for ONTOUR
all caravan owners that place par-
ticular importance on high mobility.
.... Regardless of whether the users are
a couple travelling alone or a whole
family.
The Ontour 390 SF is the smallest
caravan in the entire Hobby range.
With a double-bed in the bow,
460 DL
lateral seating arrangement in the
ONTOUR
rear, compact sanitary facilities and
a convenient kitchen it nevertheless
provides all the amenities that a trav-
el-happy couple could wish for. And
a Golf-class vehicle suffices as the
towcar. Those who prefer single beds
will find two alternatives in the 460
DL and 470 UL models, optionally 470 UL
with a rear dinette or round seating ONTOUR
arrangement. Consequently tailored
to families, the Ontour 470 KMF is
provided with a children’s section and
crossways installed bunk bed in the
rear. One highlight shared by all four
Ontour models is the new one-piece,
extra-wide cabin door.

• New upholstery combination “Patch”

Once again, in the 2018 season the

Nearly half of all the floor plans of
this series are matched to this target
group; five of the total of twelve 515 UHK
DE LUXE
model versions bear the K for chil-
dren’s bed in the type designation.
Newly added is the De Luxe 515
UHK. This family caravan does not
only offer an own children’s bed and
bunk beds in the bug but even has an
additional height-hub bed in the rear.
It is placed over the cosy round seat-
ing arrangement. A room partitioning
layout that makes the 515 UHK a
highly variable family apartment with
up to eight places to sleep.
Along with floor plans with children’s
beds, the De Luxe series provides all
conventional versions with single and
double beds. This segment ranges
from the compact De Luxe 400 SFe

a very special floor plan that is being 460 SFf
offered exclusively in the Excellent EXCELLENT
version. It impresses especially with
.... its luxurious front bedroom with the

aimed at comfort-conscious couples
who can choose from a total of 12
solutions with single beds and double 560 LU
beds. The new Excellent 560 LU EXCELLENT

new 720 KWFU model. In particular,
this floor plan does not make any
compromises in family planning: The
parents are provided with a French
double bed and the children have
their own apartment with a bunk
bed. The large round seating arrange-
ment in the bug provides space for
all members of the family. Moreover,
the shower bath and toilet are sepa-
rated and pamper you with sanitary
comfort at its finest.

For the 2018 season, the slim Ontour
is presenting itself in a new look. Its

ly apparent that this belongs to the
large Hobby family.
The other series also present them-
selves subtly reworked.
New side panel decals, logos and

generation.
The newly designed side panels

WITH EXTRA-WIDE
ENTRANCE DOOR The design of the handle is based on
the stylish handhold
in the interior.
For the new season, the ONTOUR
has also been given an extra-wide
cabin door. With an exact dimension
of 596 mm, it makes entering espe-
cially easy. With its interior hinges
the single-piece door convinces not
only with its opulent dimensions,
but also with its pleasant design and
carefully considered details. The large
door window lets plenty of light into
the interior and with the frame forms
an elegant unit.
On the inside of the door there is
practical storage, a waste bin with
integrated hand brush and shovel and
an insect screen.
On top of that, the new entrance
door sets itself apart with its effec-
tive splash water seal.
