hiya everyone, I was wondering earlier today what are the effects of your tyre treads being wet when you use a motor mover. The reason I ask is that my caravan is down our drive and it,s quite steep, would the rollers slip on the tyre treads even tho' they are adjusted correctly and it's lashing down with rain. Just curious to know what others think.

motor mover in the wet

Very rarely do mover rollers slip, some times if your trying to go up slight kerbs & the like they might, or if the mover was fitted on new tyres & now theres only a couple of mill left, the gaps might be slack.
The new Trumas have much bigger (thicker) rollers & the chance of them slipping in any conditions is very slight as the footprint on the tyre is so big.

Similar to what others have posted. Our caravan is kept at the back of the house down a fairly steep drive. The Powrtouch takes it up and down no matter the weather without problem. Re the problem with the jockey wheel digging in, I changed to a pneumatic jockey wheel and found this helped with that problem.
I have the Powrtouch with alloy rollers and find that it will slip if trying to get onto a levelling block/wedge
In the dry this is accompanied by black crumbs of tyre dropping onto the wedge and in the wet some slippage
It is set correctly and moves the van up our steep drive OK
The car hill start brake operates so its quite steep at one point

Hi John
That's quite interesting what you say.
My Powrtouch 2 wheel drive only on our Wyoming actually turns the whole wheel, yes wheel spin, on the wet if the terrain is too difficult, usually the jockey wheel digging in.
From new I have always found the cross actuation very stiff. Indeed I am amazed just how far into the tyre the Powrtouch ally wheel goes. My dealer has checked it twice and assures me it is ok.
Otherwise it moves the TA effortlessly.
Cheers

I have the Powrtouch with the new (cast alloy) drive rollers.
I have never had a problem with lack of drive - and I have a steep driveway also. There just the best. But are heavy.
