why spend the money get some hard board and lay it on the grass when needed as FC are so easy to move.We thought about a motor mover on our caravan when we sold our Fc as i thought it would be hard to move but that is just as easy,keep your money in your pocket and take the wife out with it.

I have to get our Trigano down a slight slope to the parking spot but getting it back up the slope where one wheel runs on grass and the jockey wheel sinks into the flower bed is a bit of a nightmare.

Every time the wheel sinks and digs itself into a rut it is difficult to get going again especially if your feet slip on wet grass.

This week I put down some old plywood cut in strips a bit wider than the wheels and the whole operation was suddenly easy again even with Triggy fully loaded. I was thinking about getting a mover of some kind but I'm going to try this for the rest of the season and think again next winter.

Now all I have to do is work out how to get the trailer through the gate, it's only 3 feet wide!

thanks for your advice but if one comes up at the right price may give it a go. we already have a hand winch to pull it up our drive with no problem. its when we take it on the garden left standing its hard work. mainly wet grass. the boards may worth a try
