Enduro Motor Mover
I have noted the posts about the Powertouch mover but as I said in another thread I had already bought the Enduro at a good price in January so there was no going back.
I have just completed the installation and thought it would be a good idea to share the experience.
I watched the video of the unit on the busyoutdoors.com web site and expected the unit to be cam operated however when I opened the box I discovered a completely different design. I checked the Purpleline/Enduro web site video and saw that the unit had been redesigned and instead of the motors tipping on the cam to engage with the wheels it was now engaged with a sliding mechanism operated presumably on a thread and I must admit from a design point of view this system does seem more superior to the cam.
First thing which is very essential is to read the notes carefully and you soon discover that it is best to wire up each motor before attempting installation. Point not noted in the instructions. From then on it was pretty basic stuff providing you are prepared to lay on your back and have your knuckles rapped because there ain't much room under the caravan and at this stage I found it necessary to have it on a flat surface, unable to jack the van up until the motors were secured in place.
The electrics were very basic the only problem I encountered was trying to thread four wires down the trunking underneath the van and still recognising which red was for left and which one was for right etc. when they emerged at the other end.. The cable markers they supply just slid along the cable and wouldn't come out the other end and the cables were a really tight fit. I gave up and used separate trunking for each pair. Had I been at home I would have found some other way to mark the cables but working at the van storage site I was limited.
I decided to check out the operation and was unsure whether it was OK to run the motors without engaging them on the wheels so I sent an email to the support and still have not received a reply. If there are any Enduro persons reading this forum that does not instill any confidence.
(Black mark number one).
So far I have not been able to use it but I am impressed with the design. The rollers are aluminium which I understand from the forums are the best.
Am I sorry I bought it?
So far No.
I await to see if the build quality and operation live up to the design.
