Buckingham Palace, wouldn't wanna live there, the fuel bills would be way too high, bad enough here.
I'm on a farm at the bottom of a drive, suppose I could use mover at entrance, drive it down and use mover again. Could park in the farmyard but security may be an issue although we are in the middle of nowhere, but I suppose you just never know who is sneaking around after having read through the stolen vans pages. Would never have thought that would be a major issue.

Thanks freeatlast, it just gets better all the time. It is a no brainer not to have one of these fitted, finances allowing. Very useful information that I sure will be making use of. Thanks for that, it's appreciated.

Just remember it is not TOY.

 I look out of the window as the boys use their toys and they love them. It's like pinching the kids train before they give it as a pressie just for "testing  purposes"  only you understand.they shunt them to & from until perfect. Boys & their toys.

Mind you have to add I tested ours as fast as possible AFTER Bob had his go. Got to keep you hand in after all or you may not be allowed to use them.

The only time an axle mounted mover might give trouble would be if the surface was so loose the jockey wheel could sink into it as the caravan gets moved over it. We knew a particular pitch on a site we used would cause this problem and I took a 1 metre length of rubber grating with me for the jockey wheel to run on. this did the job.

A mover will move it anywhere but they are very slow. Not sure how long it would take to go 200yards. It's nothing like walking pace so maybe 1/4mile per hour. 200 yards would be 1/2 an hour or so.

You might be wise to check with the suppliers to make sure they are happy with it being used for 200 yards as motors can overheat if used for long periods.
