Hi All,

I have decided to bite the financial bullet and my Reich Comfort movers are being fitted today. After another weekend where I had to block the road off in the hope that a passing (or not passing, to be more presise) motorist would give me a push up the drive (road width doesn't allow for reversing), I rang Mobilemovers.co.uk for a quote. I originally wanted the Truma SE, but was somehow talked into the Reich. I hope I did the right thing, The saving is about £400 over the Truma, but I am still wondering if I shouldn't have stuck to my original plan. I console myself that while I will not have electronically engaging rollers, I will have enough for my Satelitte system

What do you reckon... is the £400 better spent elsewhere, or wil I spend the future jealously eyeing up those who have the Truma SE.

Alistair

We've had a Reich mover for over 4 years now, on our single-axle Compass, and we can't speak highly enough of it. Light, easy to use, and not a single problem. I'm sure you'll be delighted with yours!

well, we have a reich fitted to our sterling europa 540. It was put on when we bought the van at the end of May, we have a mover because there is a downwards slope to the drive and we have gravel which is quite thick. The mover had been fine up until a couple of weeks ago when one side failed. The rollers were turning, it had been wound right the way on but we had to try and shove the van ourselves which is virtually impossible with the drive we have. I have phoned the dealers who say that it is a simple adjustment to put right so are going to make arrangements to take it in. We had a powrwheel mover on the p-revious van and this mover is a lot more effective and smoother when working correctly. The only other thing is with the Reich is that it sits quite low down and for us with the gravel, it gets into the roller bit.

Can't comment on the Reich and any benefits but we recently had a mark 1 (reconditioned),Powrtouch mover fitted to ours and it is the best thing since sliced bread.

Know exactly what you meant about hoping for help from a passing motorist or pedestrian or even a willing able bodied neighbour whenever any of our offspring plus their partners weren't available. Been there, done that, bought the t shirt and made the video

Trust me...no matter what make it is...you are so-o-o-o-o- gonna love it! Ours has changed our lives...literally!And I am brilliant at moving Ellie all on me owny o, (once hubby's bent down and locked the rollers on), with just me two thumbsHow fantastic is that for a certified decrepit!Used to only be any good for holding on to a grab handle and directing it before.

All I can say is....enjoy

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!! Movers fitted. How spooky to see your van moving all on it's own!

Graham, Hippychick, you are so both right... I love these already! The guy from www.mobilemovers.co.uk was great, and demo'd them for me. They ate up the driveway problem with ease. My van is now like a great big remote control toy. I will be out there till midnight! Brightredrover, we have gravel once through the gates, but it is quite large (15ml) and tends not to stick to the tyres. Hope all goes well with sorting your motor.

Thanks all... off to play till my battery goes flat! No more post trip backache & sore knees... no more knackered jockey wheels when coming off the drive on to the road etc.etc. OH can comfortably recuperate following her shoulder operation... great!!!!!

Have reich sorted out your system.  We are thinking of buying one to get a caravan up our steep drive.

We have a Rhyno fitted and it is one of my best purchases ever. Reich have a good reputation and I'm sure you will be pleased with yours.

Movers are great!  We have had ours (Carver) 8 years now and could not do without it!
