A published off-road caravan specification sheet describes what is built into the unit. It rarely describes what travels loose with it — the jack, the wheel brace, the hose, the owner manual. Those items are decided at the order stage, and anything left off the order becomes your own cost once the container is unpacked.

What the model sheet does not tell you

Model sheets are thorough about structure and systems. A 16ft hard-top export model is published with a 3,000 kg ATM, four heavy-duty lockable drop-down stabiliser legs and a 12-pin flat light plug as standard; the 21ft model with a 3,500 kg GTM and a 4,500 kg coupling. None of that states whether a jack, a wheel brace, a drinking-water hose or an owner manual ships with each unit. Importers usually meet the gap on the first container, with a customer beside a caravan that cannot be levelled, hitched or handed over with paperwork.

The tools to fix in the order

• Jack rating and jacking points. The jack must suit the unit as loaded, not the smallest model in the range. Ask where the jacking points are and whether they are marked on the chassis.
• Wheel brace and torque figures. The brace has to match the stud pattern of the wheels actually fitted, and the torque figure belongs in the paperwork rather than in an email.
• Chocks and levelling pads. Four drop-down legs steady a unit; they do not level it. Blocks and chocks are what an owner looks for on the first night.
• Water hose, inlet fittings and a pressure reducer. Fresh water is published at 160 L on the 16ft models and 200 L on the 21ft model, and a hose is what makes those tanks usable at handover.
• Power inlet lead and spare fuses, matched to the outlet type at destination rather than to the factory bench.

Across the published off-road caravans for commercial buyers, fitted equipment is listed model by model. The loose items are not.

Documents that belong with every unit

Paperwork is checked long after the sale, by a dealer, a resale buyer, a hire fleet or an insurer:

• the owner manual matching the model and the options actually fitted, with published weights, tyre pressures and service intervals
• the appliance manual set for whatever is on board
• the warranty terms, the claim route, and who pays the labour where you sell
• a parts list with part numbers, so a replacement can be quoted without a photo-and-guess cycle
• any certification file the unit is signed against in your market

Write it into the order, then check it at inspection

Treat the kit as an order line rather than a courtesy. Name each item, name who supplies it — factory, your workshop or a local purchase — and put the list on the packing list so a pre-shipment inspection is measured against something specific. The last failure to surface is a generic manual: the unit is finished, the options are fitted, and the book in the drawer describes a different specification.

Published equipment on the 16ft hard-top models includes four heavy-duty lockable drop-down stabiliser legs and 2 × 80 L fresh water tanks; the 21ft model is published at a 3,500 kg GTM.

Send the model and market you plan to order for, and the loose-item list can be matched to the units before they are packed. Start from the published range at www.lgloader.com, write to [email protected] with the models and sizes you need, or message WhatsApp: +86 186 6381 3961. The 16ft off-road caravan with a 4 m electric awning is one build where the fitted list and the loose list are worth comparing side by side.
