A motor mover is invaluable for getting the caravan onto a pitch at the end of a cul de sac, into a tight spot where there's not much room to manoeuvre using the car, or to get onto a pitch sideways or nose in. On our previous caravan we had a Purpleline mover. It seemed to be a bit slow and temperamental. On our current caravan we had a Powrtouch Evolution which we find much quicker and more reliable, plus the remote control has a symbol showing which way is forward. With the old one I always had to press a button to see which way the van moved. It was 50/50 chance whether I got the right way first time, and invariably I chose the wrong one.

I would not advise getting a power touch auto engage I had one fitted to my new 4 years ago Barcelona and have had nothing but problems I must say its all been sorted under the warranty but have had some real problems on site next time i would get a manual engagement.

Posted on 04/06/2017 21:52 by MDD10I have just had a Powrtouch fitted and the dealer specifically advised against the auto engage. It isn't difficult to use the manual lock on unless you have a disability. I think it is just there is more to go wrong with a auto engage device.

We have an e-go quattro by Purple Line. Yesterday it was pouring with rain as we sited the 'van. Today the mover remote does not work, the man at purple line said " they are not meant to be water proof" obviously not designed by someone who knows what caravanning is all about. Fortunately under warranty, a new unit is on its way to us in Spain.
