Nijwa Arctic Fox: long leisure caravan in EU class O3 with a 5,000 kg gross weight, 9,850 mm length, 2,550 mm width and an 8,600 mm wheelbase
The Arctic Fox from Nijwa is a long leisure trailer with a gross weight of 5,000 kg. It falls into EU trailer class O3, covering vehicles between 3.5 and 10 tonnes that require their own braking system. Its length and weight figures match a fully fitted-out touring or leisure caravan built for long-distance travel.

At a length of 9,850 mm and a width of 2,550 mm, the empty caravan weighs 4,740 kg, leaving only 260 kg of additional payload – a figure that shows how much weight is already tied up in furniture, insulation, tanks and fixed fittings. The long 8,600 mm wheelbase spreads this weight over almost the entire length of the body. The caravan was registered in 2005.
In caravans of this size, most of the permitted weight is taken up by fixed fittings rather than movable luggage; the small remaining payload is therefore a consequence of the design, not a fault. Because the gross weight exceeds 3.5 tonnes, the caravan runs on air brakes and needs a tow vehicle with a matching permitted trailer load.
When buying used, moisture in the body matters most: leaking roof hatches, windows and cable penetrations lead to hidden mould and rotten wood in the walls of caravans. Also check corrosion on the frame and axles, tyre condition after long storage, and the operation of the braking system and jockey wheel.

What to check before buying
- Search the frame and welds at the axle mounts — that is where cracks start.
- Check the brakes and the last inspection in the papers.
- Work the gross weight against the towing vehicle before buying.
- Compare the chassis number with the papers.
- Look at the floor, cover or body from the inside — rust does not show from outside.
