I am going to get a mover fitted to my new caravan which has a MTPLM of 1255kgs and I have a few questions please.

Is Powrtouch the best or are there alternatives.

Is it best to have it fitted by the caravan dealer you are buying from (in this case Lowdham Leisureworld) or do Powrtouch fit them. I have been quoted (£1095.00 by lowdham)

I believe there is a latest generation out from Powrtouch called 'Innovation' is this better or more expensive?

I understand movers can be transferred from van to van if you sell is this correct?

Regards

Robin

There are alternatives to Powrtouch but Powrtouch seems to be the most popular at the moment.

I had mine fitted at home by Powrtouch and found it to be cheaper than at the dealers (Lowdham Leisure)

Mine was £1000 for the heavy duty model. A friend has just negotiated £950 and had it fitted at home.

It can be transferred from van to van but I would advise getting one that will cope with a van of 1500 MTPLM in case your next van is heavier.

Hope this helps

look at a few posts on this site and i think someone got one fitted from powrtouch for £800 or if you fancy fitting yourself, think you can get powrtouch ones for £600(2yr warranty) or £700 (5yr warranty). They do a price match and there is currently enduro movers on ebay for less than £600.

Also on ebay there is someone who offers a fitting service, at your home for £75.

fitting service

I bought an Purple line Enduro from Ebay (wizard recommendation) it cost £588 and my OH fitted it himself (wizard has pictures and instructions) took about 2.5 hrs

It will move a van up to 1800kg

I can really recommend this peice of kit . It's fab. They will fit it at your home if your not handy with these sort of things

I got my Powrtouch model 3 on a price match including the 5year guarantee. It was that cheap compared to what i had prevoiusly been quoted, I got the powractuator too for a total of £820 incuding fitting. Only issue i have, its a little slower than other models that i have played with.

Hi

I replaced my Powrtouch with an Enduro 2 weeks ago, as the Model 1 Powrtouch we had wasn't man enough for our 1500Kg Sterling.

I emailed Powrtouch for a price match and got no response, so I bought the Enduro from Ebay for £569

They are both well built and both have comprehensive fitting instructions. The Enduro has the edge for supplied fitting kit, they are both easily fitted in 2 - 3 hours.

They are both similar in operation the Powertouch being a slightly smoother start, but this could be down to me being more used to it.

The only real differences were the price/warranty, and the engagement, the Enduro takes longer to wind on than the spring cam on the Powrtouch.

Having had both, I can't choose one over the other, if Powrtouch had bothered with a reply I'd have gone with a Model 3, only time will tell if the Enduro lasts as long.

Cheers

Paul
