Powrtouch Evolution - one side running slow plus an interesting turn of things

Apologies you are correct. Ours is slightly off centre towards nearside, but doesn't affect direction when using the mover. Handbrake is definitely towards the offside and way off centre.

If you look the handbrake will be offset but what it attaches to is central 🤔

As Guzzilazz has pointed out there are many things that will cause a mover to wander off course, anything that causes one wheel to have to travel further (e.g. a stone) will mean the caravan will not move as far forward on that side, It will also increase the load on the motor as it has to climb the obstruction, which will further slow it down. Whilst only a relatively small difference it will affect the track of the caravan.

As the motion is already quite slow, there is plenty of time to compensate for any terrain induced change of direction.

Really this aspect of caravan movers performance is really nothing to get overly concerned about.

Hello all. Just thought I'd update here. The movers fitted OK with a few wee curveballs, being second hand. But it all works fine.

It's hard to say for sure if there is a skew under load because the ground it's on isn't flat. Overall, I think it probably tracks pretty straight under load. But the tip to just apply a little pressure to one corner has certainly come in handy!

Thanks again for all the info received above.
