Frequently Asked Questions

You can either:

• Visit the Nord-Trond Factory in Sebastopol and complete an order form with a staff member. You can have a tour at the same time
• Place an order through your local real estate agent or caravan dealership. The cost is the same either way

With either option, you can visit the factory and see your cabin as it is being manufactured.

Approximately 4-6 weeks depending on how busy the Nord-Trond Factory is.

Once you have taken delivery of your cabin it is your property and you can do whatever you like.

During the the manufacturing process however, we have a small selection of choices and optional extras you can choose from. Contact the Factory on 03 4373 1402 for more information.

We provide each cabin with:

• 3 x 15amp power inlets
• Kitchen appliances including fridge, gas hotplates and gas oven
• Air conditioning/heating and/or fireplace
• Insulated walls, ceiling and floor
• A unique, low environmental impact pod style standing system, and no need to level or prepare your site in advance

You have a few options.

1. Find a mains power source, ideally 3 x 15AMP. You can power them on as a little as 1 x 10 AMP lead but, this will severely restrict the amount of appliances/lights that are run at the one time.
2. Plug in a generator, ideally one that can supply 3 x 15AMP single phase of power.
3. Install solar panels on the roof.

Option one is how the cabins come set up.

Option two and three, you need to source yourself. We can help you with specifications of suitable products.

Yes and all wiring in the Nord-Trond cabins is to Caravan Specs i.e. 2 pole switching.

Depending upon which Nord-Trond cabin style you choose, it is approximately:

• 2.5m wide
• 12.2m long
• 2.85m high (without the skillion roof).

You will need to enquire with your local council as the permit situation will vary from council to council.

The zoning of your land, other dwellings on the land and how many nights a year the cabin is occupied will be important.

We have experts who can assist you with the whole permit process, including a very quick initial assessment, to give you an approximate idea of your chances.

Each leg of the  cabin is capable of being raised and lowered 500mm.

Meaning:

• the fall from left to right cannot be more than 5/120 (approximately 4% / 2.3 degrees) and,
• the fall from front to back cannot be greater than 5/24 (approximately 20% / 11 degrees). 

There is no need for leveling or permanent ground preparation providing the slopes fit within question above.
