HI,
Has anyone replaced the grit rollers on a carver motor mover if so where did they purchase them from. Also is there a kit for re-gritting them.
Thanks for any help
Neill

Q1: If you are doing it yourself you should be able to get them from a reputable caravan/camping shop. But I don't know how much you'll pay as we get them from elsewhere.
Q2: No

Considering that the grit-rollers drive on the rubber treads of the tyres, wouldn't the wear on the rollers be minimal, and last a very long time?

The 'grit' is basicly glued on to the roller. But bearing in mind that they are exposed to the elements and all that the road can throw at them, it only takes a chunk to come off before the damage spreads.
The latest generation Mover's use alloy rollers that have a kind of tread pattern that is part of the mold. That way there is nothing to come off.
But if you've got rollers with 'Grit', then it's far cheaper to replace them than to buy a new mover.

i agree fully, but no,mine were slipping on activation and when the engineer arrived he said they were worn.i put the wear down to the slipping and not full use.he changed them for alloy rollers with spikes on and he said you will not wear these out.no charge and done in three days of the phone call,so good service from powrtouch.

That's interesting, Michael. Iv'e had slipping on a few occasions, so i will keep your comments about the spiked rollers in mind. Our mover is a powrtouch.
