Hi

Get the brakes and the 'reverse override' checked out. As has been mentioned you need to know what weight you are towing. Just because your van has a MTPLM of say xx kg are you heavier. Remember that a motor mover will eat in to your loading allowance quite a bit.

Reversing uphill can also be helped with a style of 'cadence' clutch control. i.e. Up down up down etc so you do not have to slip the clutch.

Hope the help on this board does the trick for you.

The motor mover will just make the caravan heavier, so the problem will be worse.
