We need to get our van onto a tricky driveway that is often wet and water logged. We will be divorced soon if we don't find a solution. We can't afford to have the drive way done.
Would a fixed motor mover do the job?

We have a mover to be sure that we can pitch how we prefer, across the pitch, but our van is in storage which, depending on prices and preferences, may be an option?

We keep our caravan in a drive at home. There is am 8 centimetre space on each side as it goes in the gate and in order to close the gate there are only 2 centimetres behind it as it has to be that close to the fence.
It is easy to do this with a motor mover. I have painted two while marks on the kerb where the wheels need to be which makes it easier to line it up exactly.

-------------
We camped for years. In 2019 we bought an Elddis Avante 454. We like it as it is short (6.9m) and fits in our driveway and has a fixed bed.
We had 127 nights away in the caravan in 2023.

Yes, they work on wet grass and some mud, not deep stuff though!

I came into this world with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

What price am I looking at. There are LOADS of different types and it's a bit overwhelming 😭😭. Our caravan is lightweight and the amount we can row is no much. Van weighs 825kg MET 1200. Car can tow max 1120kg

Nickybear there is an edit button for use up to two hours after posting, saves multiple posts.

It would also be useful if you could fill in your outfit and location in your profile.

This might be of some help and this.

XVI yes?

As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.
