Which caravan mover?

We also have a Powertouch evolution. Had it fitted to our 6 berth caravan for a year and its worked brilliantly for us. Ours is the manual one but its never been an issue engaging it - think someone else said it but see if you can try a manual one first as the auto ones are more money. I seem to remember paying around £900 for ours and that included fitting by our local fully qualified and certificated service guy.

Just had our powertouch replaced with another. The original one was 12 years old and had been on  three vans, the only thing i had to replace was the rollers after 5 and a half years.

Does nayone happen to know if a manual Powrtouch can be converted to auto?  I know how easy it is to engage it manually, but I like stuff that does it automatically

Write your comments here...I took off Powrtouch classics yesterday . Out New Evolutions Autos are sat in conservatory ,to be fitted by powrtouch engineer tomorrow . But i would say to convert from manual to auto needs new ECU has an extension on the end for the actuation side  .A new remote .which alone ,I think , makes it cost prohibative . The old ones were only rated to 1500kg and our van is 1650kg and they were strugling to shift van on bad surfaces and I like the thought of pressing a button instead of running around with the wrench .

Thanks. I thought that cost might prevent it from being worth it. Confusingly, my remote seems to be the same one as for auto engagement.

I had a brief look ..... I'll probably keep what I have, I just wondered 

We now have an automatic Powrtouch too.  The mover is much better than our old one, however the rollers the one side didn't move on to the wheel on one occasion.  It needed resetting.  Just a few seconds to reset it and an hour to try and get the blooming plastic cover off.

Cannot help on the fitting company but our Powertouch works well but it is a manual actuation and is hard work. 

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.
