Hi All,

Now that we have our nice new Bailey Pegasus Milan (new but not '"new"!), im on the look out for a caravan mover to make life easier as already my back is breaking moving it around.

Ive been doing alot of digging and ive heard good things about powrtouch and also reich. Im thinking about getting a local company to me called midland caravan movers to supply and fit. Has anyone had any dealings with them good or bad?

Ordered an E-Go Titanium which is being fitted this coming Friday by Autofix; so will provide first impressions soon after .....

I also went for the Titanium.

Primary reason is I have a TA.  I was unhappy about the costs for an all wheel mover if I could get by with just driving two of the wheels.

So far so good but the clincher is that this is then only upgradeable mover I could find, all the others you throw away/trade in your two wheel mover and bight four wheel mover, with the Titanium you just buy the extra twin mover and magicallynit is a four wheel mover.

So far I am happy with just driving the two wheels but I know I have a fall back position!  :-)

We had a Truma SE on our caravan and would highly reccommend.  Had it on 3 vans never a problem and easy to use.  Powertouch have great servicd but they need it as most of the movers break down, better imho to go for one that would work 100% of the time with no need for customer service.

Admittedly not the cheapest but lighter and compact.

Had the E-Go Titanium fitted yesterday - only used it once so far to park up on site - very easy to use and accurate to place the van. Regarding fitting, I suspect that fitting is very regional and often subcontracted - so good or bad experiences are probably pretty random and a good mover installed by a good fitter in one region doesn't gaurantee a good fitter elsewhere. Very happy with our mover

Like Hillclimb, we recently had an E-go Titanium fitted and have been very happy with it, vey precise and a hec of a lot lighter than my old one which had packed in. Mobile fitter put it on at my storage place and he was very good.

As Hillclimb and Swifty have previously mentioned I have just had my E-go titanium fitted by Autofix. Well pleased. They came out to my storage site and were done within a couple of hours. Now to try it out on siteHappy

Had a Reich EasyDriver Pro 1.8 fitted by Midland Motor Movers back in May. Great piece of kit, very well designed and engineered. Looks nice and neat compared to some of the others around. MMM came highly recommended and their service was first class. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Powrtouch. Had ours fitted last month as our driveway is gravel. Can move it about with great ease. Think I might change the jockey wheel from plastic to air as it was digging into the stones. That said, the mover is brilliant and worth every penny.

Power touch for us too.  Their after sales support is also first class as I've been talking to them recently about a couple of points.
