Which caravan mover?

Cannot help on the fitting company but our Powertouch works well but it is a manual actuation and is hard work. If I fitted another I would go for the automatic version. If you are tempted by the manual type I would suggest you try one first if you can.

Powertouch have a good reputation for service though if anything does go wrong and according to a survey are by bfar the most popular in the UK.

Not sure if it will confuse you but we had a Pruple Line mover on the last caravan and that lasted six years with no trouble. Frankly I doubt there is a lot between the different makes but the actuation may be what swings you to any one type.

Try motorcycle chain spray grease on the moving parts my power touch is very easy to actuate upto the point of the rollers pressing into the tyres and that's not too difficult.

I'm a big fan of my power touch, I've watched other people using there's and a high pecentage seem to be harsh when starting were as the power touch has soft start. 

We have a Truma, also good.

Truma actually now own Powertouch.

Agree that auto actuation (moves both drive cogs onto each wheel in one action) is definitely the way to go especially if you store your caravan near a wall etc as there may not be room to manually wind it on/off. Better still pay a little extra and get one that engages/disengages using the remote control. I have had both and would definitely not go back to using the manual wind on.

I am got my first caravan last March, and have been 4 Times. I opted for the Automatic powrtouch evolution and it was the best decision ever. the fully automatic was a couple of hundred Pounds more than the manual but well worth the money.

the remote control is easy to use and at a push of a button the rollers engage or disengage and parking/manoeuvring is a breeze. I certainly will always buy powrtouch

@Tirril - manual engagement is only required on one side to apply both rollers (on my old enduro unit, anyway) and can be done from either side.

Another fan of power touch. We had our original one for over 10 years, in the end the bearings went I replaced them and it still kept going. At 11 years sold it for just under £200.

We now have a quad for the twin axle also a low touch and it is great. We have only had manual engagement, we don't find it a problem at all

Had a Reich for 6 years with no issues at all.

Had a Powrtouch now for 8 years, had to replace handset at £80 about two years ago when a button failed.

Both do the job as I expect they all do. Prefered the Reich's engineering and the motorunit maker they used. Only at the time of purchasing they had not a unit to suit my new van.

Both have been manually applied, the Reich a wind on, the Powrtouch an over centre type, both applying to the two tyres together. 

Not a fan of auto application only in not wanting the complication with inherent risks and not wanting to pay for a feature I don't need.

Having done lots of research we've decided on the powrtouch automatic, being fitted next week.

Again like many posts afraid havn't had any dealings with 'your' proposed fitting company and again like many others I have the Powertouch and agree the auto version is just great. Also Powrtouch are very helpful and customer friendly if contacted by phone. Good luck.
