Motor Movers

Many caravanners find the use of a motor mover makes the task of manoeuvring their caravan for hitching up, placing on-site and moving around a storage area so much easier.
The most popular and effective type of mover is the axle-mounted type, which consists of a frame bolted to the caravan chassis with a 12V electric motor and roller assembly at each end.
