 found one for £80 on ebay,just wondering if i need a spare.

Item number: 370648416593

Just something to be aware of when buying a replacement handset ad hoc on a secondhand basis, in that it may nhot work on your mover.

Last year my battery wire snapped on my remote control for my Pwrtouch mover and sent it off to be sorted by Powrtouch, which they did on their excellent service.

However the day it broke, I needed to move the van and a friend of mine that has a twin axle van also fitted with the 4 x AWD Powrtouch like mine of similar age mover let me borrow his remote. However it would not work, appears it was on a different frequency. Anyone buying a replacement from Powrtouch would not have a problem as they ask for the movers serial numbers and match the right parts. If bvuying elsewhere, I would check that will work with your mover. 

I thought this, but I'm not sure about spending £80 just in case I misplace something

ours is about 7 to 8 years old now,just wondering how long they will be out there to buy.no remote will render the mover inoperative.

Obviously they all work on different frequencies or if two people happened to be pitching up next to each other they would be moving the wrong caravan

I am sure you have to program a replacement handset in to the Powrtouch. Obviously they all work on different frequencies or if two people happened to be pitching up next to each other they would be moving the wrong caravan

Just a word of warning. We lost the remote for our motor mover, (we put it somewhere safe). when I went to find it, guess what, its so safe I cant find it. So, online I went and found a replacement one. £80.00 later I now have the new one.
I always left it in the caravan, but as it was in storage I thought it best to remove anything stealable. well that serves me right as the van was safe but now the expense of a new mover has got to me.

Dont beat yourself up about it too much Yorkie1960 we put our remote on the boot of the car when we had finished hooking up and guess what?? Yep then drove off and the thing fell off and was seen no more.  I rang the site in the hope that someone had handed it in but guess again?? no one had .  Cost us £80 for a replacement and we have now done as JTQU has done . I wander how many other people have done the same???
