Hi
You can't do this as you need 4 motors to move a twin axle.
Best to take it off and sell it then buy a twin axle one but they are double the cost as there are double the motors.

you could use it on a twin axle, i have a 2 motor mover on mine and there are plenty of companies that sell them for twin axle vans
the difference is in the control box.
If you fit your single axle version you will find it will not turn the van, it will just move the van backwards and forwards.
The 2 wheel drive twin axle mover pulses the wheels in directions to turn the van, even then it takes a lot of backwards and forwards and space to turn it
If you just need help with the backwards and forwards it will work, if you want help turning your van in small spaces then you need a 4 motor version that costs a lot and adds considerable weight
To be honest consider the cost in buying a 4 motor unit against using the best mover of all, your car.
If you have not used a twin axle van before its EASY to move a twin compared to a single axle van, with your car.

you can use it to turn the caravan unlike alpiner has stated! but what you have to do is raise the front or lower it depending on the ground, so that an axle is lifted as much as possible off the ground to reduce drag, this is much easier when doing this on tarmac/concrete etc than on grass

Yes Kazo you can use this method but to raise the fromt as suggested you run a high risk of jockey wheel collapse

Out of nothing but sheer interest, why might the jockey collapse? IF the wheel/tyre are good, and the clamp is good, i really cant see why it would fail?

The method of raising the front of the van to lift the front axle off the ground in order to turn the twin axle van is a viable option, if the mover is positioned on the rear axle, but in actual practice many find that the Jockey wheel does not lift the front high enough
to avoid drag & tyre scrub & resort to carrying a sheet of tough plastic sheet to place under the front wheels as well to reduce the drag.
a 4 wheel drive mover pulses the offside or nearside wheels in order to make the turn easier on the tyres

I dont use a motor mover but normally twin axle vans are bigger and heavier than single.So shorley it would put great stress on the motors.Andburn them out.

a single axle mover is better than no mover at all.. it will just need more room and a little help..
