Frequently Asked Questions
Below is a list of questions we get asked the most
Do you supply cabins direct to the public?
Unfortunately we do not supply cabins direct to the public. If you are a private individual, you will need to arrange for the cabin to be purchased via your builder.
We supply cabins to caravan / tourist park owners, hotel owners, retirement village developers or registered builders.

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

What is included in a Nord-Trond cabin? What features are there?

- Simple powerboard / extension cord style – 10amp electrical connections.
- Solid, Scandinavian style Blonde wood flooring.
- Insulated walls and ceiling.
- Metal insulated panel walls and stud wall frame with Scandinavian blonde wood walls.
- Tudor style exterior with timber covers.
- A unique, low environmental impact pod style standing system so there is no need to level or prepare your site in advance.
How do I get power to my Nord-Trond cabin?
You have a few options:
- 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 able to run at the one time.
- Plug in a generator, ideally one that can supply 3 x 15AMP single phase of power.
- 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.
