Yes that's what we thought Humperdinck.

 A season of pushing and pulling, then save up to buy a MM for next year, we'd already paid out for our baby FC this year that was enough.

 Then we found our FC was almost impossible to push round 180 degrees on gravel to hitch up to the car, so exhausting, and back breaking. Those demo videos of FC's make it look so easy to manoeuver into position,

They're not cheap, but we look upon it,as being similar to taking out another  insurance policy,

What would it cost, if one of us was off sick from work with a bad back  through trying to manoeuver our FC, and also being on bumpy gravel trying to push and get it hitched up was risking damage to our cars bumper each time.

Fitting the MM will be money well spent for us.  

I'd never heard of MM's before when we owned a TT, now we go round MM's spotting. (sad mad people that we are.) 

Coast walkers.

I am picking one up today as my unit is same as Trigano Randger and fitting axle MM is almos a no-no although I have been told that it can be done.    I made the decission yesterday following this thread and the positive reports.  I understand that you just put down the front steadies, remove jockey wheel and clamp in the Eurotech.  Reverse procedure when finished.    I have a gravel drive with paving inserts which makes manual moving difficult and unpredictable plus needing to spin unit 270 degrees.

Can't wait to try it out this afternoon and will report back.  

I had the Enduro2 fitted to my Pennine Pathfinder by NVS.

Now most Motor Movers are fitted in front of the wheels but on the Pathfinder, two problems arise.

First off, there is a strengthening frame in front of the wheels and therefore the Motor Mover must be fitted behind the wheels.

Secondly, the chassis depth is too small the carry the motor mover and so an extra bracket has to be bolted to the FC Chassis on each side to carry the motor mover unit.
This adds an extra £70 to the price of the unit.

We are very pleased with the Enduro2 and the NVS chappy that fitted it, took about 4 hours to complete the fitting.

I picked up my new toy and tested it from car battery having stopped along the way for some crocodile clips.  It worked just as the seller said it would.   Attaching it to the FC was a doddle as described in previous message.   Raise front end using the steadies, unclamp jockey wheel, insert new toy, clamp up and lower front end.  Joy!   But wait!     The item came from a caravan with Battery box to the fore and my battery box is to the rear!  ('ooh' you may say.)  Yupp!  Cables will not reach the battery .    So now project will be to obtain longer 32 amp cable or another connector somewhere in the system.   Bother (or words to that effect).   Still happy with it though and looking forward to playing in the garden with it.   

ps Not as heavy as I thought it might be.
