If you're searching for a motorhome that offers generous living space, practical sleeping arrangements and German build quality without needing a special licence, this 2017 Hobby Optima Deluxe T65 HFL could be exactly what you've been waiting for.
With just two owners from new and built on a licence-friendly 3500kg chassis, the Optima Deluxe has earned a reputation for combining comfort, practicality and excellent value. Whether you're touring the UK coastline, heading into Europe or simply escaping for weekends away, this versatile motorhome is designed to make every journey enjoyable.
A Layout That Just Works
One of the reasons the T65 HFL remains such a popular model is its clever and flexible layout.
At the rear you'll find a comfortable French-style double bed, permanently made up and ready to use whenever you decide to stop for the night. No cushions to rearrange and no beds to build after a long day exploring – simply park up and relax.
Above the spacious front lounge sits a manual drop-down double bed, giving comfortable sleeping accommodation for an additional two people while still allowing excellent daytime living space.
The combination of a fixed rear bed and front drop-down bed makes this an ideal motorhome for couples wanting extra space, or families who occasionally travel with children or guests.
Proper Washroom Facilities
Unlike many motorhomes in this size range, the Hobby features a full washroom complete with a separate shower cubicle.
The dedicated shower area means no balancing acts over the toilet and no soaking the entire washroom every time you freshen up. It's one of those features that owners quickly appreciate when spending extended periods away from home.
Combined with practical storage, a swivel style cassette toilet, vanity handwash basin and modern fittings, the washroom feels more like a compact hotel bathroom than a typical motorhome facility.
Bright, Spacious Living Area
The front lounge is designed to be the social hub of the motorhome.
Swivelling cab seats combine with the dinette area to create a welcoming space for relaxing, dining or planning the next day's adventure. Large windows and skylights flood the interior with natural light, creating a bright and airy feel throughout.
Hobby's reputation for quality furniture construction and attractive interior finishes is evident everywhere you look, with durable materials designed to stand up to years of touring.
A Kitchen Ready for Touring
Whether you're making a quick breakfast before setting off or preparing a full evening meal, the kitchen provides everything needed for life on the road.
Generous worktop space, ample storage, cooking facilities and a large fridge make it easy to stay self-sufficient while travelling.
Many owners choose the Hobby range because it offers the practicality of larger motorhomes while maintaining a manageable overall size.
Easy to Drive, Easy to Enjoy
Built on a 3500kg chassis, this Optima Deluxe can be driven on a standard UK driving licence, making it accessible to a wide range of buyers.
The manual gearbox provides excellent control and economy, while the well-balanced chassis offers a reassuring driving experience whether you're navigating country lanes, motorways or campsite entrances.
At under seven metres in length, it's large enough to be comfortable yet compact enough to remain approachable for those moving into motorhoming for the first time.
Why Choose a Hobby?
Hobby has built a strong reputation throughout Europe for producing motorhomes that focus on comfort, practicality and quality construction.
The Optima Deluxe range became particularly popular because it delivers many of the features found in more expensive motorhomes while remaining excellent value for money. Clever layouts, strong build quality and thoughtful design have helped these models retain their popularity year after year.
