Motor movers. Now I see that they are a good idea for people who caravan alone, the elderly or those who cannot manhandle a caravan for whatever reason, or someone who wishes to store their van at home on a tight driveway.
However when on site, there haven't been any times that I can't reverse the van onto the pitch even when you have to attack it a few times (and I am in no way a reversing expert- just average!). Sometimes I watch an outfit arrive, stop in the middle of the roadway/ field, unhitch, move the car, attach the mover and then inch the van backwards and forwards until in position. Seems a lenghty old job to me. The same happens at the end- inch the van up to the towball to hitch up.
Why mention this- well I like my gadgets as much as the next man, maybe I should get one? But don't see the benefit. Can someone explain to me what I am missing?
As I said earlier, I know that this product is of immense use to some caravanners, but to some it seems to be a bit of 'look at me!' Any thoughts?
