Motor Movers

MPTLM stays the same. However the user payload available reduces by about 30kg for a single axle 'van as that is around the weight of mover. Hence why I upgrade my MPTLM by the 49kg available

ET is right. Our mover weighs nearly 50Kg for a 2 berth single axle 'van so it certainly eats into the available payload.

That said, we really wouldn't like to have to manage without it now. 'Vans are getting heavier and we are unfortunately getting older.

They certainly make life a lot easier, especially on European campsites where pitching can be, well, rather challenging sometimes.

Oops sorry!

I picked up this thread from the "latest activity " feature and didn't realise it was actually in "Ask the expert live".

I'm no expert .

Mods please move or delete my post.

😟

50kg seems a tad high? Are you sure 30kg isn't nearer the mark?

You're right ET, just checked and our Powrtouch Classic weights in at 37Kg.

Time for a glass of wine I think 🍷

A mover will allow access to pitches that no one could access using the car alone. 

Even if having passed various Caravan manoeuvring courses, there are lots of pitches that you just cannot access without one.  These pitches are often the best ones.

The other major plus is that with a mover you can go in nose first if that is where the view is.

Some of the pitches on the North Yorkshire Moors site face the moors and when the sun goes down the view can be stunning. I certainly can't physically push/pull a 1500kg caravan across gravel by hand!
