Product Information

The most popular and generally the most effective type of mover is the axle-mounted type, which consists of a frame bolted to the caravan chassis with a 12V electric motor and roller assembly at each end. Using the caravan leisure battery, the rollers operate against the individual caravan tyres to give full manoeuvrability of the caravan, all operated via a remote control unit. Less common are the type that work at the hitch of the caravan, moving it from the front. Bear in mind, though, that you might need to add noseweight to the caravan on slopes and slippery surfaces. Do motor movers require regular maintenance? If DIY-fitting a motor mover, try to run cabling through existing holes or drop-out vents to avoid drilling more holes in your caravan. Seal around any cable holes with mastic sealant to prevent water ingress. Axle movers are engineered to clamp on to modern AL-KO and BPW chassis without any drilling, which is not permitted by the chassis manufactures as it would weaken the chassis. The method of attachment of mover to caravan chassis varies with different makes and each caravan varies, even if with the same chassis. The wheel size may be different, so a mover supplier may not always be able to predict what ground clearance you'll have.

Its just a summary of some of my own thoughts and observations, along with those of our guests here at Horton Common. Operational Performance: Since commencement of production, our Optitec Wireless Remote Controlled Wheel has seen many applications including: Boat Trailers 3000kg, Tandem Caravans of 3500kg Grip mats are typically used by motorhomes to get out of trouble on soft ground, but they are also very useful for caravanners. Sloping drives can also prove difficult for manoeuvring, and with little room for error, a mover is a must. You could buy a new mover with the year or two’s caravan storage fees you save by parking at home. With a motor mover, this home-stored caravan could easily be parked ‘A-frame in’, making it much harder to stealCam actuators come in both independent and linked designs. With the latter, cranking one side engages both movers, thanks to a long steel hex bar linking the units together under the van. If you park your tourer at home, against a wall, say, you will need to buy a mover system that you can access and actuate from either side, independently. A cam-style actuation system

Motor mover manufactures should specify a maximum working limit for their product in terms of caravan weight and gradient. The information below is not intended as an extensive summary of every product available or even a review of such products. This friction increases the rolling resistance, which means its harder to navigate and steer the caravan. Better manoeuvrability may be obtained by fitting motors to both axles. The downside of this arrangement is the financial cost and extra weight. A twin axle caravan may have a generous payload allowance, but a full set of movers to both axles could take up as much as 80kg of this payload. Special applications You can upgrade some e-go units retrospectively, eg, transform a two-unit system into an all-wheel drive four-unit system, thus future-proofing it should you get a bigger caravan.However, we do recommend cleaning and greasing moving parts before your caravan goes into long-term storage, and you should consider activating the units briefly, to minimise the chance of them seizing up, each time you visit your van. How long is the warranty?
