Teto Homes 44 - New Orleans: EU class O4 residential trailer with a 10,500 kg gross weight, 13,870 mm length, 8,980 kg unladen weight and a 9,330 mm wheelbase
The 44 - New Orleans belongs to the group of residential and leisure trailers meant for permanent or long-term use as living accommodation rather than frequent road use. Unlike a touring caravan, a unit like this is usually intended for stationary siting on a pitch and is moved only rarely. With a gross weight of 10,500 kg it sits just inside EU trailer class O4, the group of heavy trailers above 10 tonnes.

Empty, the trailer weighs 8,980 kg, leaving 1,520 kg for fittings, cargo and occupants at a gross weight of 10,500 kg. At 13,870 mm long and 2,550 mm wide, it is a very long but narrow unit, typical of a residential layout with several rooms. Its 9,330 mm wheelbase spreads the axles over most of the vehicle's length, giving it stability during occasional moves.
Residential trailers of this size are usually delivered to their pitch once and then used there permanently or seasonally, which is why interior fit-out, insulation and connections for water, electricity and waste matter more to their value than pure road performance. As an O4-class vehicle it needs a dual-line compressed-air braking system, mandatory from class O3 upward.
When buying a residential trailer this old, dating from 1992, checking for damp matters most: the roof, window frames and floor panel should be checked for water damage and soft spots, since such damage often progresses unnoticed over decades. The chassis, axles and braking system should also be checked for corrosion if the trailer is still meant to be moved.
