Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the maximum weight capacity for the Mover SE and Mover TE?

The Mover SE is suitable for single-axle caravans up to 1800 kg total weight, while the Mover TE is suitable for dual-axle caravans up to 2250 kg total weight.

Q: Can the Mover be used as a parking brake for a parked caravan?

No. After manoeuvring, always apply the handbrake first, swivel the drive rollers away from the tyres, and block the wheels. The Mover is not suitable for use as a parking brake.

Q: What should I do if the caravan battery is completely discharged and I cannot swivel the rollers out electrically?

You can use the emergency swivelling out function by prising out the plastic cap at the rear end of the swivel-in motor, placing the size 7 socket wrench onto the hexagon bolt, and turning anticlockwise.

Q: Can the Mover be used when anyone is inside the caravan?

No, during operation of the Mover, no persons may be inside the caravan.

Q: What is the function of the safety socket?

The Mover can only be operated for safety reasons when the 13-pole caravan plug is inserted into the safety socket.

Q: What should I do if the electric engagement fails due to a discharged battery or defect?

You can disengage or engage the drive units manually by prying off the plastic cap on the rear end of the swivel motor and using a SW 7 socket wrench to turn the hex bolt counter-clockwise.
