Motor mover. Necessity or nice to have?

[Bluetonic]

Dual Mass Flywheel, there was a bit that held the plates apart, it was that piece that gave up, so every gear change the plates would rub making a noise like a chair leg on a wood floor.

Many years back, so much so I cant remember, Jaguar X Type sport premium collection, 6 speed diesel, apparently the worst for towing!
Px it, salesman didn't test drive it, thankfully.

Did the same in our old Ford C-Max when I was a pretty inexperienced caravanner.
Soon traded it in for a Saab 9-5 aero estate (big mistake) and then a Nissan X-Trail which was the best car we ever had

£499 + £99 fitting, worth every penny given the tight bays of our storage site. Whilst reversing in was particularly challenging, when other owners can't park their caravans square in their allotted bays, then we feel vindicated in investing in the mover. For us of more advanced years, not a ' nice to have' but more a necessity.

I don"t know what you got but we put this one on our Caravan Emove EM203 Motor mover with fitting £599 and it been great

Not sure I’d get our ‘van on the drive without the motor mover! Great investment. Not cheap but worth every penny

Certainly a must as you get older. Store on my drive at home, but have to store it at the end of a dogleg . Still reverse in the first part now, second part I use the motor mover. As the other half got older and it became more difficult, for her, to push it in place, mover is essential.

Essential

In certain individual cases a caravan mover may be the only solution, but taking the hobby as a whole the number of pervious caravan purchases throughout time before movers were even available proves they are not a necessity for everyone.... even now

modern caravans are now substantially heavier than older caravans.
The days of the 750kg 4 berth are long gone.

Essential for me, not so much on site as I can reverse fine, at home though the cul-de-sac is a tight space and we have a gravel drive.
Makes it all much safer and easier onthe back.
