I have a carver single axle motor mover, it was already on van when we bought it but have no instruction book. It has worked with no problems over the two years that we have had the caravan but today I moved the rollers onto the wheels turned the handset on nothing happened. Caravan battery is fully charged when handset turned on a green light is on the control panel and a flashing orange light. There is no clicking noise or no motor noise any ideas??

This problem is common pull off the connectors from the battery and reconnect them. The mover will then reset

I also have a Carver mover.
I have a problem in that it keeps moves a couple of yards then stops and starts again.
Tried new batteries in the handset.
I have tried 2 leisure batteries, (not at the same time) making sure that they are fully charged. Same thing.
Tried walking close to the van. Makes no difference.
Pain in the a.. but at least it works!

I have just bought a 15year old caravan with a Carver motor mover on it. It worked when I got it but was not strong enough to get onto my drive easily. I regretted the rollers and now I get 6 flashes on the Moto mover electronic box indicating it has a safety relay issue. Any idea what could be causing this.

Are they short or long flashes as apparently it makes a difference.

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.

Sorry for the delay. They are short flashes. The box says if is the safety relay. I didn't think taking the rollers on and would cause this problem. It is an AR2-1 model.
