We have a tight spin into storage, have a powrtouch, its so easy now, we can get it in and out without needing to both be there.

Don't forget to take into account your battery, we are lucky to have a 110amp leisure battery, so no problem on drain.

Sorry to be a bit thick here - but do you mean they match the price of other makes, Truma, Endura etc or just their own make if bought somewhere else?
I would have thought directly from the manufacterer wpuld be cheaper. Am I being naieve?

I came to this site after we decided to treat ourselves to a mover for our caravan. After reading all the helpful advice and comments on this site, we have eventually decided to get a PowrTouch mover.
The Reich had been recommended to us, but we were unaware of the problem of it being set lower. Which we are very grateful to have found out.
Now, as I am just in the process of shopping around for prices, another thought has come to me. We pull our Abbey Vogue with a Ford Mondeo. As it has low profile tyres, are we likely to encounter the same problems with any mover being too low to get on ferries?
Any help or commennts would be very grateful.
thanks

I have had Reich twin axle movers since July 2005 and I have never had a problem being too low as you put it.  I have used all the Irish Sea and Cross Channel ferries and never had a problem the same goes for speed bumps it clears them all.

8gill8 have you fitted a mover to your Abbey Vogue?  We are in the process of looking for a mover as I have injured my shoulder yet again pushing the van and we too have an abbey GTS Vogue but are concerned about it being low after watching a van getting stuck on a campsite in France a few years ago!  Any advice would be helpful.

hmm never thought of ground clearance

i am in the process of booking our van in to have a powrtouch  heavy duty mover fitted for  a fab price

I love my motor mover.  We store our 'van behind our house with a very bumpy track and pushing our old one into place wasn't easy.  Now we unhitch and motor it into the exact spot we want it to go in.  It really is worth every penny spent on it.  The dealer told us that it can easily be moved onto another 'van when we change 'vans :)

Sorry i wouldn't have a clue what one it is lol

Sorry to ask but what was the "fab price" that you have got for the heavy-duty powrtouch mover?  Did you get this price by price-matching.

I am seriously thinking of getting one for our 'van - getting a bit old for pushing and just started keeping 'van on our awkward access drive.

Thanks

I have a swift charisma 555 which is about the same size and weight as the challenger you mentioned. I have a reich mover which makes moving, even in a tight space, very very easy. The hight it is set at has never been a problem. Reich are very helpfull if you do have any problems
