Well I tried my new motor mover today to turn the van around ready for the off on friday. I thought this is not up to much it wouldnt move it very far if at all up a little slab . I tried and tried the mover was slipping on the tires . This is a waste of £600 I thought . Then it dawned on me. Yep it does help if you take the handbrake off. Ho hum.

and then you will find that it does not move at all  -   because the hand set has been left on and the battery has run down    everything else will work - it will switch itself on but will have insufficient power to transmit   in the meantime you have gone bananas trying to work out why    all the lights are on and still it will not move    beware the battery, always have a spare

Love the bikes on the back touch! I've invested in the new Powrtouch Evolution Auto, most powerful ever apparently but I didn't know they had this demo video out!!

Powrtouch handset self switch off if not used for 15 seconds, easy to switch back on by pressing the two buttons again.

Couldn't get my one to work, eventually used brute force to move caravan. Later when reading the manual discovered that the 13 pin plug had to be plugged into a socket fitted on the A frame to complete circuit.

Felt a right twit !
