If you have a 13amp socket in garage get a battery charger and leave connected to the battery, and just switch it on occasionally to keep battery charged.

How will you be able to disengage the movers from the tyres if you do not have room to get to the battery.

you aren't supposed to leave the motor mover rollers in the engaged position for a length of time as it can mis-shape the tyres.

Buy a smart battery charger that can be left connected all the time. Bit more expensive,but keeps the battery properly topped up without having to remember to switch a charger on / off

I had a Conway Crusader before the tin-tent and found it mauled my guts out getting it up the small slope into the garage so I purchased a 12 volt winch and attached it to the rear wall of the garage. A piece of cake to pull it in after that, cheaper than a motor mover and kept the battery charged up off the mains in between. Just a thought.
