 Hi,

The problem with mr shiftas and all jokey wheel mounted movers is downforce of weight there is not a lot of traction to be had from them as the nose weight of all caravans is small they just do not perform any where near as good as a "proper" underslung type also to try to combat this they tend to be very very heavy thus you have to be pumping iron to man handle them which leads to the point of where do you store them whist 1.. not in use and 2..whilst towing? and 3..do you realy want to keep lumping them about attaching them connecting them then disconnecting them detaching them then lumping them about again?

Take the plunge and get a proper mover is my advice, honestly they are the bees knees.

Can any one tell me what the difference is with between the single and twin movers?

Why would a single axle mover not work on a twin if the van is not too heavy?

Hi,

I  personally use a thin length of  1/4" plywood 6" wide by 2 foot long as a bearer for the jockey wheel in "difficult" terrain.

I do have a pneumatic jockey wheel which is now languishing in our garage. The pneumatic tyres seem to deflate very quickly ( compared with my dad's old wheelbarrow) and due to clearance probs I had to remove the wheel completely when travelling.

I swopped back and have no regrets!

It may be a 50p piece of plywood will solve all your problems.....well jockey wheel related anyway

regards

Mr Ulti-Mate

why not try and win one if you need one!!

Cheers  Ratty

Yes, a lot of dosh but what a saving in heartbreak, now I can get hitched up ready to go without the kids help, and get it back in the drive without calling on all the neighbours for assistance.
