Good morning,
I’m trying to help a friend who has a Powrtouch 1 with electronic application. It is fitted to a Bailey Pageant S6 Provence. The motor number is 206/017428. We live in France so it’s not possible to call a Powrtouch engineer but I’ve fitted a number of your movers and currently have an AWD version fitted to my Bailey Cartagena so I’m fairly confident in my abilities.
My friends have only just purchased the caravan and the previous owner had a new actuator fitted. The mover worked satisfactorily on a number of occasions but has now failed. I’ve attached a picture of the actuator and you can see that the end of the actuator has pulled away from the main body. Obviously that part is now scrap but I’m wondering if you could advise me as to the reason why this might have happened? I don’t want to fit a new part only for the same thing to occur.
I’m wondering if any of the following alternatives are possible:
1. Is it possible to change this mover to manual actuation? If so, could you tell me what parts are needed and what the cost is?
2. Do you supply reconditioned mover kits so that I can fit a whole new system?
Thank you for your help,
Best regards[/i

Afternoon.
I have seen a few Pas broken like that normally caused by either being physically hit with something or trying to move a mover that has not been maintained and very tight.
Hardly informative! The caravan has been regularly serviced but I'm wondering if a lack of grease might have caused the motor to seize in it's track whilst it was trying to engage. I'm wondering if any forum members can answer my additional questions regarding converting to manual operation.
