I assume that weight limits are determined by such things as suspension and breaks etc.

We had a Towsure motor mover fitted to our pathfinder as we have a steep drive and are on a blind bend.

Was absolutely brilliant...

The weight limit will be on the Plate on your camper.

Well I have been to the caravan show today just study movers with the pathfinder in mind. After looking at a good six different types and talking to the technical people I have bought a reick economy. Don't know why it's called an economy. Anyway I choose it for its compact design and simplicity. As a mechanical design engineer it ticked all the boxes for me and it's something that I can fix without any problems should the need arise. It comes with a 5 year guarantee and includes fitting. The motors are well inboard of the wheels so spray wont effect them.

Once your mover is fitted to the Pathfinder, get underneath on the nearside and check the drainage holes from the sink and the water heater. The outlets could be directly above where the motor mover motor sits.
If this is the case, either re-site the outlet pipe or put a baffle under the FC to direct the waste water away from the motor.
