The HOBBY PRESTIGE H 899 is a caravan from HOBBY (EU vehicle class O2), registered as built in 2006. It is 7,600 mm long and 2,550 mm wide, weighs 1,256 kg unladen and has a permitted gross weight of 1,600 kg.
Subtracting the unladen weight from the permitted gross weight leaves the HOBBY PRESTIGE H 899 with a payload of 344 kg. For a caravan this covers everything that travels along: gas bottles, awning, water, crockery and luggage; retrofitted equipment such as a motor mover or air conditioning reduces the margin further.
Under EU licensing rules, a category B licence allows a combination of towing vehicle and this trailer up to 3,500 kg permitted total mass – so the towing vehicle may weigh at most 1,900 kg. Code 96 on a B licence raises the limit to 4,250 kg (towing vehicle up to 2,650 kg); beyond that a BE licence is required. Being over 750 kg, the trailer must be braked, and the towing vehicle needs a braked towing capacity of at least 1,600 kg.
Among the 1311 caravans from HOBBY with a stated length, the HOBBY PRESTIGE H 899 at 7,600 mm is in the middle of the range (rank 319); the range runs from 1,200 to 9,950 mm. The Finnish vehicle register lists one unit.
Hobby caravans up to 3.5 t (class O2) – the maker from Fockbek near Rendsburg, since 1959: the De Luxe, Excellent, Classic, Prestige and Ontour ranges, unladen weights 285 to 2,100 kg, gross weights up to 2,500 kg
Hobby-Wohnwagenwerk of Fockbek near Rendsburg in Schleswig-Holstein was founded in 1959 as a family company and today ranks, by unit numbers, among Germany's largest caravan makers. For decades the model programme has been divided into equipment lines widely represented in the register: De Luxe as the basic trim, Excellent and Excellent Easy as the upper line, Classic as the value-conscious range, Prestige as the top model, and Ontour as a compact, light entry-level tourer. The numbers before and after (such as 400, 450, 560) give roughly the length or weight class, while suffixes such as SF, SB and KB mark the floor-plan variant (side, rear or compact bathroom).

The register lists here 1,353 versions with unladen weights from 285 to 2,100 kg, gross weights from 850 to 2,500 kg and widths from 1,265 to 2,600 mm; length is recorded for 1,333 models.
For decades Hobby has held its own alongside Fendt-Caravan (Tabbert) and the brands of the Erwin Hymer Group as one of Germany's best-selling caravan brands, particularly strong in the mid-price segment for families and newcomers to caravanning.
On used Hobby caravans, the roof skin for cracks and leaking penetrations, the window and door seals, damp in the sandwich floor — an ageing issue common to many makers on older model years — the condition of the axle, overrun brake and jockey wheel, and the gas system with its inspection sticker all count; parts run through the Hobby service network.
