yep , it all makes sense !!

spend the extra and go the awd route , you then know its right and will  handle whatever gets thrown in your direction.

we had a powrtouch ta that drove the front wheels on a senator wyoming and it was a pain in the ass.had to get the front so low to avoid the rear wheels scrubbing and it was painfully slow to turn the van in a confined area.it was one of the reasons we got rid pretty quick as it was a nightmare holding traffic up outside our house as we struggled to turn it

Just a question but can't you get your dealer to take the set off the old caravan and put them on the new?  When we bought our new caravan the dealer told us that when it came to selling this one he would transfer our motor mover onto the new caravan

We have the Truma TE on our van (1900kg) and it does what we need it to do. we have to get the van nose first off the road onto the drive, but the drive is wide (about 8 metres) so plenty of room to manoeuvre. Our slope is only 1 in 10.

if you have a 1 in 4 slope, I think you would be safer with the 4 wheel one. Have seen a Reich in action, it was very good.

Only reason we didn't go for it was the weight, about 66kg compared to the 33kg of the 2 wheel models.

We were also looking at motor movers for our TA. I liked the idea of a single mover but when we spoke to the manufacturers it was a case of it will move it - back and forward up to 1800kg but isn't really suitable for slewing the van - to do that you are really going to need a 4 mover set up. I feel that we could possibly work with the 2 motor set up but it isn't going to be for those who need to manouvre the van.

Get your dealer to apply for an updated plate for your caravan, it costs about  £20-00 and they will take it up to 2000kg
