About this deal

As discussed above, a larger and wider wheel will displace the weight of the caravan to perform ‘better’ on soft ground.

When running cable through the apertures in the caravan chassis, protect the cable from rubbing with some short lengths of protective trunking/tubing. An automatic mover has actuator motors to move the rollers on and off the wheels. It is simple to use – pressing two buttons, no effort required if the manual mover is impractical due to health issues. Weight The potential upside of improved soft ground performance comes with the significant downside of potential punctures and the tyre coming off the rim.Only the cross member protrudes below the chassis, whilst the drive units seat above the chassis rails A well-maintained motor mover from a good manufacturer will easily last for a decade or longer. Who should I get to fit it? Powrtouch has designed a range to suit every caravan; single or twin-axle with an automatic or manual feature. Turning is the main point to consider. The Powrtouch Freedom range is for single-axle caravans up to a weight of 1,500kg on a 25% slope.

The new Optitec V3 looksalmost identical to our original machine and to the V2+ on the outside, but has many improvements on the inside. Always fit a ‘master switch’ to the motor mover, to avoid slowly draining your leisure battery, when the caravan is not in use.The signal from your remote is received by the control unit and this tells the mover rollers which way to turn. The compact, but powerful, motor turns a series of gears, which maximise the torque and dictate the speed at which your caravan will move. These gears drive the metal rollers, which are pressed into the tyre tread and rotate the wheel. And you’re off! You pretty much only see a noseweight (or tongue weight) as high as that on a US or Australian caravan. But it does emphasize where Kartt is going with this product on build quality. The Advantage Of A Proper Wheel Bearing Light and durable alloys and clever gearbox designs are making the latest movers much lighter than their predecessors. Buying a used caravan? Negotiate with the dealership to see if you can get a free or cut-price motor mover included as part of the deal Remember, the weight of the motor mover comes out of your personal user payload has must be accounted for. The Club suggests a couple is likely to take about 150kg of equipment, so if a caravan has a payload allowance of 180kg a motor mover weighing more than 30kg would take you over the limit. The lightest mover currently available weighs about 27kg. Other systems may weigh up to 40kg, giving an actual payload of 190kg and you would need to remove other user items to be legal and safe. These may be able to be put in the car instead.

Benefit from expert advice, retail discounts and money off pitch night stays when you join the Club . All chassis-mounted movers come with a remote control unit like a TV remote control. Some movers come with an alternative cabled connection option for the remote control, which enables the mover to be controlled even when working in areas of high electronic interference. Every caravanner will make their own decision when deciding which option is best for them. Whilst those with a bigger budget may opt for an axle mounted motor. Brushless DC motors used in some movers create far more torque than traditional motors with carbon brushes. Truma’s XT is one unit that uses this technology.If you do accidentally hit a speed bump, for instance, with this plastic wheel, as reported to me by one of our guests, expect it to break.
