Does anyone know where i can get a caravan mover from and fitted?

Towsure would be nearest

they got none in stock on there website will have to go and ask them

They'll definitely be the cheapest, there's is just a rebranded Purpleline Enduro I think. Will be fine for any medium sized single axle van

Most caravanners seem to agree that "Powrtouch" movers are the best:

http://www.powrwheel.com/I'll agree with that. The best thing I ever bought.
Definately avoid those that attach to the hitch (in place of the jockey wheel).
They are heavy to carry around and don't have the same grip as those that connect with the road wheels of the caravan.

Sorry, I'm in the Truma corner. Electronic activation, low weight, sits much higher up and enough power to rotate a small moon

There always seem to be a few for sale in the Caravan club magazines.

I was thinking of getting one for ours but dont want to spend a small fortune, we have to move our van up a slight incline to get it out and have seen the jockey wheel type ones, are they any good??

That is the sort I would consider buying, as I have a caravan and a twin-axle car trailer. So if anyone comes along with a few of them for grabs....!

There's loads on eBay and caravan forums, unfortunately there's a reason for that

They're crap - proper crap

They struggle for grip or traction and forget any thoughts of using one to deal with a slope!

Keep well away from the jockey wheel devices, they are about as much good as a chocolate fireguard on a damp incline .

Save up and get the proper device that fits on both road wheels. They do what it says on the tin, move your caravan, under any conditions.

My last van had one fitted, they are incredible devices. No need to manhandle the van in any way. Probably the best thing ever designed for a caravan.

I would recommend the pwrtouch mover. Brilliant device, copes with our steep drive just fine and brilliant customer service.

Undoubtably the best way to move a caravan is with dynamite.

Has anyone fitted one themselves are they easy to fit

We had a Powertouch on our caravan twin wheeler and although their aftercare is fantastic their mover wasn't as good as the Truma one we have now fitted to our twin wheeler. It moves it with ease.......!!
Try Paul at Yorkshire Caravan Movers he fits and does mobile repairs and his service is second to none......brilliant service.
Take a look at his website http://yorkshirecaravanmovers.co.uk/

I fit mine from new to my previous caravan, then removed it and put it on my current one.

If you're competent at DIY, no reason why you cant fit it yourself. They are heavy though, so you'll need a helper!

it would save us £150 to do it on our own

it would save us £150 to do it on our own

Which is why it's worth giving it a go yourself - Trolley jack, some spanners, torque wrench, wire cutters / strippers, pliers, zip ties, insulation tape and an assortment of screwdrivers is all you need!

If worse comes to worse, you can always pay someone the £150 to finish it off

it would save us £150 to do it on our own
£100 and Ill fit it.

I didn't fit my own but I have removed it and refitted it a couple of times for repairs, not too difficult a job if you are fairly handy with the tools although I would leave the wiring up to someone who knows what they are doing.
BTW mine is a Reich mover and has been nothing but trouble since we got tye caravan hence the removal for repairs so I would steer clear.

We have a Powrtouch that we bought secondhand on eBay when it was 2 years old. The 5 year warranty was easily transferred and my husband fitted it, took the best part of a day.
Highly recommended as we are on a very steep road.

thanks for all the help everone

I take it there not very good then?:)

Re the link you referr to.....
I can't comment re Sheffield Caravans, but Torksey Caravans is a brilliant place for caravan accessories. Often cheaper than such as Towsure and a decent selection too.

Back on topic...........Powertouch fitted my mover at home and I'm impressed.
It does what it says on the tin.
Parked at the bottom of a very muddy field after a weekend of nothing but rain, it easily moved the caravan to enable me to hitch up.
Powertouch also say they will "Price Match" any like for like competitors model.

They fitted mine at home....no need to travel to them.

I'm sure they're fine, just expensive!

Get on the net and find the cheapest Powrtouch mover you can, then call Powrtouch themselves and they happily price match. Some bloke will then come to you and bolt it on for you.

Just had ours fitted by riversway lesure, working great

Just had it fitted by riversway leisure,and it works great

Worksop caravans they advertise on preloved

South Yorkshire caravans have a selection of second hand reconditioned ones. Excellent service.
