120nm is very tight, in fact as cars go for example: Audi has among the highest torques for cars, they are 120nm, now I agree I think 88nm is to low imo, I would have done 100nm, guess its a matter of opinion.
the correct torque for any nut or bolt is tight enough not to come loose and not too tight so as to break something.. :)
some "expert" knowledge does help with arriving at a reasonably correct figure.. its assumed that the manufacturers do have this "expert" knowledge but where caravans are concerned i would never bank on it.. he he
minimum wage tyre fitters aint that reliable ether in my experience.. :)

Well in many cases there are minimum wage tyre fitters, but no so much now, we live in a society of blame culture, my staff are all Qualified with years of experience and re training programmes under their belts we don't use air tools and a torque wrench is the most used tool now, also the implications of incorrect fitments to vehicles are far reaching, I think that statement is demeaning and patronising to anyone who works within the industry, but hey hoe

You need more than expert knowledge to deduce the ideal torque for a threaded fixing.
Only the designer of the fixing can do it and then only if the manufacturer makes it within tolerances and from the specified materials.
