Mover socket location

[SilverSurfer]

On my caravan Powertouch mover socket in which you locate the red activation key is located directly below the mains power lead socket. This means you can only activate one or the other at the same time. On my previous caravan the mover socket was located just inside the main caravan door which allowed the mover to operate whilst the mains power was plugged in if the battery was low in charge.
My question is, has anyone relocated the mover on/off socket to a different location?
If so what cable would be required to carry the power from its present location?
Many thanks in anticipation of a practical solution.

It seems to be a convention that the mover switch is fitted below the mains socket, specifically to prevent the mover being used while the mains is connected - but my previous caravan had the mover switch in an internal bed box and at home I would regularly reposition the caravan using the mover while the mains was still connected - without any issues.

Thanks Roger, that’s exactly what I’ve done in the past without any issues

My mover socket is also sited to prevent it's use when the EHU is connected within the locker. Thought it was deliberate placement by the techie who fitted it 'on my driveway'!

Mine is fitted inside the battery box, again beneath the mains socket. The Red switch is removable and can be left on without the switch enabling fitting of the mains. Never bothered,
I always assumed it was a deliberate choice intending stopping me using the mover with the mains connected.
