Hi all
The motor mover. Fantastic invention, as long as the caravan doesn't just spin on the axel - one of the motors isn't firing. i have checked fuses, taken the 'spades off' the motor, cleanned and reinserted them. Still dead. THere is no life in the motor, it is not turning at all, no hum of electricity - zilch. It's a Powrtouch Motor Mover, the original manual is with the caravan, though the phone number is no longer active. Any tips as to what could be wrong? I could try my hand at disassembling it (I'm a software engineer, so making a bad situation worse is in my DNA)? I think it is at least a deacde old, no idea how much it would be to get it serviced.
I'm not totally awful at reversing anymore, so can probably live without it. Attempting to move the carvan by a rope attached at one end to the towbar and the other on the grab handles isn't the most inspired idea I've come up with. Well, you live and learn.....
Any thoughts / recommendatioins for the mover? I'm in central Scotland if that makes a difference.
