Caravan Mover (Motor Mover)
A caravan mover is a set of electric motors fitted to a caravan’s chassis that drive rollers against the tyres, so it can be manoeuvred by remote control.
What is Caravan Mover (Motor Mover)?
It helps position a caravan on a pitch or driveway without the car. It is powered by the caravan’s leisure battery. The rollers must be disengaged before towing. Check the roller gap to the tyres regularly and adjust it if the tyres have been changed.
How it works
Motors press rollers onto the tyres and turn them, moving the caravan forwards, backwards or turning on the spot.
Why it matters for your car
The mover’s weight counts towards the caravan’s payload. Keep the battery charged; a weak battery may not move the caravan uphill.
