Hi all. has anybody got any ideas on this problem my Truma motor mover moves onto the tyres but slips as soon as any pressure is applied like a slight bump in the ground or a small slope also slips on tyres if the ground or grass is wet.

appreciate any help !!

The gap between the rollers and tyres is probably in need of adjustment. Should be 20mm I believe....

Have you got the correct air pressures in the tyres? If they are under inflated there will be less grip on the tread causing the mover grippers to slip.

Hi
Thanks for reply.
the gap between roller and tyre is 20mm and the tyres have the correct tyre pressure.
one of the rollers was not quite in the centre of the tyre so adjusted that yesterday with the help of spanners and a hammer.

Probably the grippers have worn and need replacing due to wear and tear.

Hi. been told by Truma to move the mover towards the wheel and leave a gap of 15mm seems a bit tight but will give it a try.
Thanks for all the feedback will post the result may help any body else that has this problem
