I always keep our 'van on EHU at home and so our, newish, battery is fully charged so that is not the problem.
I spoke to Powrtouch this afternoon. After a wasted couple of hours taking their advice and swapping the actuation motor leads at the control box and carrying out other "tests" P/T technical support concluded what I had already guessed, that the actuation motor had gone AGAIN!! The options are now
(1) Change the fauity actuation £80 for the motor plus £85 for a P?T agent to come out and change it, ie, £60
(2) Change the mover to manual actuation, with a power bar, fitted by a P/T agent at £250
I find it bitterly ironic that having had the power actuation in the first place because we're not getting any younger we're now faced with paying a huge chunk of money to change it to a manual system or to have yet another acutation motor fitted with the possiblity of further failures.
In addition both of the above options come with a 2 week wait for the P/T fitter who would be travelling from the Liverpool area.!!!!! We live in Cricieth, North Wales, approx 100 miles from Liverpool!!!
This means that to travel to a planned family event, later this week, with the 'van, I have to wind on the offside motor mover roller with an electric drill, hook up the 'van and then wind the move off again with the drill before we can even get started. Hopefully I'll be able to find a pitch I can reverese onto at the other end or we'll have to repeat the pantomime with the electric drill when arriving and leaving there. Oh and, of course, I'll have to repeat that fiasco when we get home again.!!!
So much for the convenience of motor movers????
