MOTOR MOVER V TV REMOTE CONTROL-FUN FOR EVERYONE ON SITE

[BOING]

having just had a motor mover fitted and trying it out on my drive at home my son was changing the tv channel and volume thus causing my caravan to move with the use of my motor mover.

surely it cant work on the same frequency!!!!!!!!!!!

my does ,does anybody else work like this.my television was a sony 14 inch.

can you imagine what could happen on site when unknown to other people i could move there caravan ontoanother pitch at night when my blinds are down and the kids are channel hopping.just think what the site could look like in the morning.

Hi,

We set an intruder alarm off up the street everytime we move our van.

It must be driving them mad ! whoops !!!!

The remote for our car sets off a "fart machine " we have.

Hours of fun available at Argos.

Sony - you say

Excellent - fun to be had!

Where are you staying next?

Now that is really brilliant, with a pattern programmable TV remote set to a Sony code any noisy caravanners with a motor mover will be dispatched across the site toot sweet ;-)

Are you winding us up Boing? This can't happen with a Powrmover like mine because the drive has to be connected first...Unless that's done, you could not even move it with the system remote control...

Even with the motors disengaged they would run.....Husband to wife.."Darling, what's that funny whiring sound coming from under the bed?"....."Oh bother, I thought I'd taken the batteries out."

This topic is so funny I'm glad we have a sense of humour!!!!!

Most TV remote controls use IR (infrared light) signalling (unless it is very old), whilst most caravan movers use (2.4 GHz?) radio frequency - so the chance of interaction from the controller is zero.

You could have a fault on your TV causing it to radiate signals in the same frequency space as your caravan mover controller. And it could be that someone else in your area has a radio transmitter (walkie-talkie, remote garage opener, car central locking) that overlaps with your caravan remote control.

p.s.

beware when using the caravan remote your telly could wander down the street???
