I think other people on her have had a mover fitted to their countryman. Give a couple of the mover manufactures a ring, I'm sure they would be able to tell you if they have fitted one before . I know its different but I have a powrtouch fitted to my quartz 6 , fitted by powrtouch in a morning without a problem. Expensive but well worth it

Had Powertouch mover fitted to our Pennine Quartz 2+2, (same size/shape as the Countryman) works a dream, moves our unit over our gravel driveway no trouble. Without the mover we wouldn't have got out of our driveway let alone go on holiday.

More expensive to fit as spacers had to be added, but Powertouch did monthly payments over 6 months with no interest added.

I used this firm and the plates for fitting it to my Pathfinder were an extra £70.

We had a power touch compact fitted to our countryman in March this year. Love it, it takes the hard work out of moving the unit. I would recommend one, it required extra plates but was fitted in approx 5 hours. They did it on the drive so made it easier for us. We bought it at the C+C show, paid £720 but fitted free. Its also great just playing with it

Powrwheel Limited Baza526,

Also took around 5 hours and fitted on our small driveway. Apparently takes a lot longer to fit than the larger FC's (with on the side doorway.)

My Enduro 2 fitted by NVS took 3 hours to fit and test when it was done in my workshop.
This included the fitting of the FC brackets.

I fitted a Rhyno mover to my countryman. Took a bit of time and I needed some adapter plates to make the thing fit. I wish that I had spent the extra to have it fitted as lying on my back under the unit wasnt my idea of a good time.

Had good response from the manufacturers and all extra parts were supplied FOC. It was expensive but the best thing we have ever done as we can now drive the unit back down our steep drive when we get back from a trip away.

If you are thinking of getting one fitted make sure they understand what unit you need it fitted to as the chassis members differ from unit to unit and what fits some trailers wont fit others.

good luck

Mike
