I'm sorry I don't know enough about these motor movers as I'm just looking into having one. But on a lot of electrical have you tried disconnecting it from the main battery then reconnecting it, as with a lot of electrical things sometimes need a hard reset. Or made sure the main battery is ok.

I take it that you have bought a new leisure battery and also bought a new battery for the remote control unit to operate it and you have no power at all. Check to see that you haven't got a blown fuse and that the leisure battery is fully charged with a multi-meter as your old leisure battery may be still okay. If the problem is down a blown fuse then you have a spare leisure battery.

Ours has a separate key/switch next to the battery. Might be a silly question, but have you checked its switched on there? Easily forgotten if you've not used it for a while?

I was standing by mine a few trips ago wondering why nothing was happening before realising I hadn't engaged the mover with the van wheels. No one was watching thankfully

As a word of advice, the best policy would be to buy a pack of fuses of various ratings and keep them in the caravan as spares as you never know when the unexpected strikes and one needs replacing. Hope it is just the fuse that's the problem but if you do happen fix it will you still be able to accomplish your holiday in North Devon?

Fingers crossed for you then and hope you sort the problem out as it's sad to hear that someone has to cancel their holiday through teething problems. Good luck and if you do manage to get away I hope you have nice weather and a relaxing time away.

If the mover has not been used for a while the brushes on the motor might be stuck causing a fuse to blow.Try giving the motors a chap with a rubber hammer or lightly with a steel one,,

sorry to hear this. Perhaps the dealers will send someone out to you? Or get a mobile engineer to come and sort it out...

Let us know what happens. Rooting for you.

Can't you contact a local mobile service engineer and explain your dilemma that you can't away for your booked holiday. They may attend promptly and get your mover fixed straight away to get you on the road and to your destination.

Hi, Such a shame you have to cancel. Could you ring caravan site and explain your situation, they may have someone who could site it for you.
