We present our findings on a supernova (SN) impostor, SNHunt248, based onoptical and near-IR data spanning $\sim$15 yrs before discovery, to $\sim$1 yrpost-discovery. The light curve displays three distinct peaks, the brightest ofwhich is at $M_{R} \sim -15.0$ mag. The post-discovery evolution is consistentwith the ejecta from the outburst interacting with two distinct regions ofcircumstellar material. The 0.5 - 2.2 $\mu$m spectral energy distribution at-740 d is well-matched by a single 6700 K blackbody with $\log(L/L_\odot) \sim6.1$. This temperature and luminosity support previous suggestions of a yellowhypergiant progenitor; however, we find it to be brighter than the brightestand most massive Galactic late-F to early-G spectral type hypergiants. Overallthe historical light curve displays variability of up to $\sim \pm1$ mag. Atcurrent epochs ($\sim$1 yr post-outburst), the absolute magnitude ($M_{R} \sim-9$ mag) is just below the faintest observed historical absolute magnitude$\sim$10 yrs before discovery.
