Hello, can anyone recommend a fitter/ supplier for a caravan mover for a Pennine Pathfinder? I am based near Winchester.

Very many thanks

We had apowr mover (correct spelling) fitted onto our crusader. Ordered by phone, the kit was sent direct to my house by courier and a fitter came at the pointed time and did it all on the drive. Brilliant. We "sacrificed" the TV aerial socket inlet so the isolator switch could be fitted with any problems. These things are not cheap but I can testify to the "no quibble" guarantee. One motor failed and one call was all it took. Motor replaced and unit cleaned and greased by a fitter coming to my home. All done in less than 24hours

Hi kings worthy

We just had motor movers fixed (enduro 2 by purple line)

These were fitted at home on our drive by autowfix and they were most helpful 01332 200101

Cost was £690 including fitting and additional brackets required for pathfinder fitting and comes with 5 year parts and labour warranty.

Moves our pathfinder beautifully and we were really pleased with the service hope this helps

Had exactly the same as Glamcamping fitted 2 years ago. Never had a problem with the unit and as we have to move our Pathfinder through a very narrow space, on a slope, to its storage position we could not do without it. Very satisfied and well worth the money.

I have Rhyno movers fitted to mine and have been using them for the last 3 years without any problems.
I have to take the unit up a steep slope and between pebble dashes walls with 10 cm clearance each side.
They come to you and fit and you do not pay until the job is done.

Sorry, I'm a bit slow because I forgot to mention weight. These things are not light and the weight surely must be included in your total payload weight, as opposed to the unit weight. We use a roof box on the car to carry the complete awning. That compensates for the mover weight The advantage we didn't see was the one overnight stop. No lugging the awning about wondering where to put it. What does everybody else do?

I don't think that the awning is included in the campers release from factory weight and so it would count as payload weight. Of course I may have misunderstood you and apologise if that's the case.
