Mobile Log Homes: B2B Supply, Compliance and Product Range
Introduction: Mobile Log Homes as a B2B Product Category
Mobile log homes represent one of the fastest-growing segments in the European timber building market. Designed to meet the legal definition of a caravan under the UK Caravan Sites Act 1968, these structures combine the structural quality of Nordic spruce construction with the regulatory advantages of mobile classification.
For B2B dealers and distributors, mobile log homes offer a distinct commercial proposition. They serve established demand across holiday park operators, rural housing providers, and temporary accommodation projects — all sectors where the ability to deploy without full planning permission creates a significant competitive advantage over conventional static buildings.
UAB Eurodita manufactures a complete range of mobile log homes at its production facility in Kaunas, Lithuania, using Hundegger CNC precision cutting and Nardi kiln-dried Nordic spruce. With annual capacity exceeding 150,000 m³ of timber structures, the company supplies dealers across Europe, the UK, North America, Australia, Japan, and the Middle East under full private-label arrangements.
This page provides a comprehensive overview of the mobile log home product range, compliance requirements, construction specifications, and partnership options available to B2B dealers.
UK Caravan Sites Act 1968: Compliance Requirements
The legal framework governing mobile homes in the United Kingdom is established by the Caravan Sites Act 1968, which defines a caravan as a structure designed or adapted for human habitation that is capable of being moved from one place to another. This definition is central to the planning advantages that mobile log homes offer dealers and their end customers.
Maximum Permitted Dimensions
Under the 1968 Act, a single-unit mobile home must not exceed the following dimensions:
- Length: 20 metres (65.6 feet)
- Width: 6.8 metres (22.3 feet)
- Internal height: 3.05 metres (10 feet)
Twin-Unit Allowances
The Caravan Sites Act also makes provision for twin-unit mobile homes, which consist of two sections that are transported separately and assembled on site. Twin-unit structures are permitted provided that:
- The structure is composed of no more than two sections
- Each section is constructed to be capable of being transported by road
- The assembled structure does not exceed 20m in length, 6.8m in width, or 3.05m in internal height
This twin-unit provision enables larger floor plans while retaining mobile classification, making it particularly relevant for 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom configurations.
Transportability Requirement
A key compliance criterion is that the structure must be capable of being moved by road. This does not mean it must be moved frequently — only that it is designed and constructed to be movable. Eurodita mobile log homes are engineered with this requirement in mind, featuring modular construction that facilitates disassembly and transport. Glulam floor bearers (13.5 x 13.5 cm) provide the structural integrity necessary for both habitation and relocation.

Construction Specifications
All Eurodita mobile log homes are manufactured to consistent engineering specifications, ensuring structural integrity, thermal performance, and compliance with mobile classification requirements.
Standard Specification
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| Wall Construction | 88 mm Nordic spruce, tongue-and-groove interlocking profiles |
| Floor Bearers | Glulam 13.5 x 13.5 cm cross-section |
| Floor Boarding | 28 mm tongue-and-groove |
| Roof Boarding | 19 mm tongue-and-groove |
| Windows | Double-glazed as standard (triple-glazing available) |
| Timber Source | Kiln-dried Nordic spruce (Nardi kilns, Italy) |
| Cutting | Hundegger CNC precision (Germany) |
Timber Quality
All mobile log homes use kiln-dried Nordic spruce, processed in Nardi industrial kilns to achieve a moisture content of 12–15%. This controlled drying process minimises post-construction movement, reduces the risk of checking or warping, and ensures dimensional stability throughout the service life of the structure.
CNC cutting on Hundegger machinery delivers sub-millimetre accuracy on all joints and profiles, ensuring precise assembly on site. This manufacturing precision is particularly important for mobile homes, where tight tolerances contribute to both thermal performance and structural integrity during transport.
Structural Engineering
The glulam floor bearer system (13.5 x 13.5 cm) provides the primary structural chassis for the mobile home. These laminated beams offer superior load-bearing capacity compared to solid timber, with greater resistance to deflection over the spans required in mobile home construction. The floor bearer system also facilitates lifting and transport operations, with designated pick-up points engineered into the subframe.
Customisation Options
Eurodita offers comprehensive customisation across all mobile log home models, allowing dealers to configure units to specific market requirements.
Structural Customisation
- Wall thickness upgrades: 92 mm and 112 mm options for enhanced thermal performance and structural mass
- Insulation packages: Mineral wool or wood fibre insulation systems for walls, floor, and roof, enabling year-round habitation in temperate and northern European climates
- Room configuration: Internal partition layouts can be modified to accommodate specific bedroom counts, en-suite configurations, or open-plan living arrangements

Transport and Siting
The logistics of delivering and positioning mobile log homes are a key operational consideration for dealers and site operators. Eurodita provides guidance and coordination support for the transport process.
Road Transport
Mobile log homes are transported as complete or semi-assembled units on standard or wide-load trailers. Key logistics considerations include:
- Width restrictions: Units exceeding 2.55 m require wide-load permits and, in most jurisdictions, escort vehicles. All Eurodita mobile homes exceed this threshold and require appropriate transport arrangements.
- Route planning: Bridge heights, road widths, and turning radii must be assessed prior to dispatch. Eurodita provides external dimensions and weight data to facilitate route planning.
- Escort requirements: National regulations vary. In the UK, loads exceeding 3 m width require police notification; loads exceeding 5 m width require police escort.
Site Preparation
Prior to delivery, the receiving site must be prepared with:
- A level hardstanding or foundation pad of appropriate dimensions
- Service connections (water, electricity, drainage) to within 1 metre of the designated connection points
- Clear access for delivery vehicle and crane (where required)
- Minimum crane clearance as specified in the delivery documentation
Delivery Timeline
Standard production lead times are communicated at the point of order confirmation. Factors affecting delivery include model complexity, customisation scope, current production volume, and transport distance. Dealers receive a confirmed dispatch date a minimum of two weeks prior to delivery.
Planning Permission Advantages
One of the principal commercial advantages of mobile log homes is the potential to avoid the requirement for full planning permission. This regulatory benefit is a significant selling point for dealers operating in the UK market.
Licensed Caravan Sites
On sites that hold a valid caravan site licence, mobile homes that comply with the Caravan Sites Act 1968 definition may be sited without the need for individual planning permission for each unit. The site licence — typically granted by the local authority — governs the number and arrangement of units on the site.
Permitted Development
In certain circumstances, mobile homes may benefit from permitted development rights, particularly in agricultural settings where temporary worker accommodation is required. The specific permitted development provisions vary between England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
Agricultural Tie Situations
Mobile log homes are frequently specified for agricultural worker accommodation, where an agricultural occupancy condition (agricultural tie) exists on the land. The mobile classification can simplify the approval process, as the structure is classified as a caravan rather than a permanent building.

Market Applications
Mobile log homes serve a diverse range of end-use applications, each with distinct specification requirements and commercial dynamics.
Holiday Parks and Glamping Sites
Holiday park operators represent the largest single market for mobile log homes. Timber construction offers a premium aesthetic that commands higher rental yields compared to conventional static caravans, while the mobile classification eliminates the planning complexity associated with permanent lodge construction. For a detailed supply guide, see Mobile Homes for Holiday Parks: B2B Supply and Compliance Guide.
Agricultural Worker Accommodation
Mobile homes provide a compliant solution for agricultural worker housing, particularly where agricultural tie conditions apply. The ability to site without full planning permission, combined with year-round habitation capability (with appropriate insulation packages), makes this a growing market segment.
Temporary and Emergency Housing
Local authorities and housing associations increasingly consider mobile log homes as a solution for temporary housing needs. The rapid deployment timeline and planning advantages support this application, with units available for relocation once the temporary need has been met.
Rural Residential and Annexes
On caravan-licensed sites, mobile log homes serve as permanent residential accommodation. The 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom models provide family-sized living space within a structure that retains its mobile classification. Annexes on licensed caravan sites represent an additional market niche.
