How easy/hard is it to fit a motor mover? Just bought an Adria caravan which previous owners had a mover fitted but they removed it before trading it in.

If any of the mover manufacturers had though that it was Ok to such a thing, they would have included that info in the fitting instructions.
They have NOT, therefore it has to be taken that it is NOT acceptable to do such a thing and they state quite clearly that the mover cables MUST be connected direct to the battery.

It may be to you, but it is not acceptable by any of the mover manufacturers ,or ACoPS for Installation of Movers
Nowhere in any of the mover Installation Instructions does it say anything about it being acceptable to do so, and all in fact state that the connection must be direct from the battery to the control box.
