Never owning a motor mover until 2019 I love using the remote to reverse the caravan in storage or on Hardstanding pitches it worth every penny .

Is your caravan TA fitted with 2 or 4 motors then?

My best budget piece was to cut a 1 meter length of three core cable from an old microwave, then chop it in half. Then each section was pushed into the cam track of the Heki rooflight. When using the rooflight I remove the cable and push it back in after the rooflight is in position. It would stop the rooflight getting flicked wide open by wind gusts, which it seemed particularly sensitive too.


Second best which cost a lot more was a HDPE chopping board which could take the footplate of my jack without distortion. Very expensive as my wife insisted that I bought her a new one of the right colour.

I did that too and it worked well. But I'm working on something a bit easier to use. Watch this space.
