We have purchased a Eurotech motor mover,we thought about getting a bracket fitted to the A frame of our 2002 conway countryman fc to hold the jockey wheel type motor mover,would this work?we live in SE London,does anyone know of anywhere in my area that would be able to do this cheaply for us?would it be safe to have it done?
Thanks for any advice you can give.

Most people including me put down the fron steadies then replace the existing jockey wheel with the Mover as the  clamp is the quick release type.  Then lower the steadies.  Whan at home the mover stays in situ as it also doubles as a handbrake.  On a flat surface I do not engage the brake.  The Mover is only removed prior to driving away and original jockey wheel replaced for the journey.   The mover stays at home.  If you dont have a quick release clamp I guess you'll need to get one fitted.

Hi, Thanks for answering my post,
at the moment we do what you have suggested,but we don't have a "quick release" clamp,we didnt realise you can get such a thing!
any chance of showing me what one looks like? will it just fit where the one is at the moment?
Thank you

Hi Mags

My camper came fitted with this type.  It only takes 4 turns to release and then it hinges back.  http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.towsure.com/category/Clamps_2

There is a clamp on clamp (gettit?) available as an additional.  Does this help?

Frank

Thank you for your reply,
I will have a look for one of the quick release ones you told me about.
