Best bet would be to check with Powrtouch - however since they see the need to make a double axle version, I guess the answer is likely to be no, but posible they could sell you 2 further motors and a control box, rather than replace everything? Worth a call at least.

Installing just the single axle mover would (I expect) place a lot of resistance on the mover as the non-driven wheels would be scrubbing across the road surface all the time.

Cool,, now im going to try and get tech  right here goes, when the mover was on the other van,, if i pressed the bottom left and the top right buttons at the same time, both motors would turn both wheels , so the van would turn anticlockwise on its own axis (if you get me) and anticlockwise if i press top left and bottom right buttons. my point being, if i only pressed one direction button i would get tyre scrub on the road , if i use the two opposing buttons,, no tyre scrub . , I know what i mean anyrode.. thinking about it in that way,, it could work pretty well , can you visualise what im wittering on about ?

It is not only one or two axels to consider but also weight. If your new TA is within the operating limit of the mover you should be ok but as you say rotation will involve only one axel being moved.

I have a TA with the four motor model fitted. If you go forwards or backwards all four wheels are driven by their motors. However when you rotate only one axel has the wheels turned by their motors, the other axel motors "pulse" to follow on.
