    rhyno mover

    Hi again If you're not desperate for a mover at the moment I will be worth waiting for the new Powertouch control system as it also has a variable speed function so you can move the caravan at a very very slow pace if required ideal for those tricky manoeuvres. I think it is released in the...

    Powrtouch vs Truma vs Enduro

    Hi After having first hand experience of Powertouch's back up and Engineering department and their commitment to customer satisfaction for me it has to be Powertouch, you will not be disappointed.
