Motor mover advice

[Jamesi1983]

Hi, I’m concidering fitting a used motor mover to our lunar quasar. As it’s an older 2008 van I’m just going to put a used set on it.

I’ve no idea on what’s a good or bad make but there’s a purple line set has came up local for £250. To me they don’t seem bad at that money but I’ve no idea. Any guidance welcome.

You could buy a mover for a fiver, and get years of excellent service from it, or pay £500 and find it lasts a day.
There really is no definitive answer to your question.

If I were installing a used mover I would go for Powrtouch. They have a good reputation and customer service and support parts are excellent.

Make sure sell demostrates them working, can be on bench check both motors go forwards and reverse.

If buying new Caravan Nut has good youtube video of fitting emovers. Straight forward just don't shorten wires that way you can transfer them to next van.

There are all different makes of motor movers we brought a Leisurewize Emove easy wind when we had our caravan but it depends what your budget is go with what you prefer.

We have Auto Powrtouch on our Twin axles and they are brilliant, it does add around 70kg to allowance

Presumably that’s for a twin axle caravan with four movers fitted. Don’t think the OP has stated whether the van is single or twin axle.

Yes that’s for the twin, but you do also get single 🤪

That's very clever by adding a caravan mover it "adds around 70kg to the allowance"

I think you meant it uses about 70kg of your loading allowance.

Hi James, Our mover is a purple line enduro (manual engage) - bought it used a few yrs ago from a caravan breaker. Our caravan is a 2003 model.
Does the job just fine for us.
Best wishes, Wayne
