This article will analyze for you as a manufacturer how to purchase a suitable travel trailer from China.
The two most important points are: 1、Understand your own needs and national regulations 2、Price
Let’s talk about the first point first. Regarding your own needs and national regulations, national regulations are a mandatory requirement. It is related to whether your caravan can be registered with a license after import. Regarding national regulations, you should pay attention to the following points:
- Dimensional design:
(1) The length and width of highway restrictions
(2) Regulation weight limit
(3) Distance from axis center to tail - Hardware system:
(1) Connecting ball size
(2) Type of signal connector
(3) Shock absorption type
(4) Chassis anti-rust treatment method
(5) The thickness of the chassis steel pipe
(6) Body material thickness - Electrical system category:
(1) Voltage and socket type
(2) Wire certification
(3) Wire connection method (some countries require that some electrical appliances must be grounded, but some countries do not require it)
(4) Whether electrical appliances require certificates - Gas system:
(1) Gas stove certificate
(2) Materials of gas pipelines and accessories
(3) Carbon dioxide and other detection - Water system:
(1) Inner diameter of water pipe
(2)Hepvo
(3) Water tank placement location and material
Then there are personal needs, the following points are the key points
(1) The first consideration is weight. The weight your car can tow limits the range of sizes you can choose from.
(2) When selecting the size, choose according to the layout, choose the appropriate layout according to the number of family residents, and observe whether the gravity distribution of the layout is balanced.
(3) Choose adequate power facilities based on your living habits, such as whether you often travel off-grid or stay around home, and the off-grid time is usually a few days.
(4) Choose cooling and heating facilities according to the weather. For example, the weather in the Middle East is relatively hot. You need to consider the operating temperature and power of the air conditioner. In addition, colder places need to install fuel heating, and the air conditioner cannot achieve a good heating effect.
Then there is the second point, which is also the reason why most people buy from China – “Price”.
We need to be clear here, not all products produced in China will be cheaper than the cheapest price in your country. In most cases, prices in China are lower than your local median sales price. Because most of the raw materials for caravans are steel, aluminum plates, fiberglass, furniture, and electrical appliances, the prices of these raw materials in China are not much lower than in other countries. China’s advantage is that concentrated productivity and higher output reduce production costs.
How to choose when you receive multiple Chinese supplier quotes?
(1) First examine the professionalism of the quotation, whether the pictures and text data match, whether they are authentic, and whether there are clear inner and overall dimensions and weight.
(2) Whether the quotation terms, production date, and after-sales problem solutions are clearly stated.
(3) Is the material in the quotation marked with thickness or detailed description?
(4) Whether the electrical configuration is marked with the brand or clear power and certificate
(5) Are items related to your national standards clearly marked?
I hope the above suggestions can help you choose a caravan that suits you, and I wish you a happy life
