We are looking at 5 year old vans and want a motor mover, Sellers keep telling us how much it cost 5 yrs ago but to me yes it was a big expense but now 5 yrs later its 5 yrs old and not worth that. How long do they last on average?

Having a motor mover is a must to us but perhaps we'd be better putting one on after we find a van.

If you think about it, your motormover is used for at best a couple of minutes each trip, so should last a lifetime. Most companys have no problem offering 5 yr guarantees because of this.  Im sure there must be a market for secondhand motor movers, check it out on ebay and see what you might have to pay for a second hand mover and point this out to the van seller.

I got one one on ebay for about £250 I think it was. No problems with it but obviously you take a bit of a chance.

Caravans coming on to the used market now may well have movers  fitted that cost £1000 new but time moves on. I think a mover on a caravan certainly makes it more attractive but probably only puts £300-400 on the price at most.
