    Thanks for the video - appreciate the battery is key. My mover has stopped mid-move, given battery failed. Disengaged wheels with manual T-bar. Replaced battery, and now attempting to re-synch the mover. Any further tips appreciated. I think your video definitely showed initial potential. Thank you

    Cannot believe you travelled for how many hours? to this dealership to make a video regarding MM issues.
    And we end up with a 3min clip which informs you to keep the battery charged.
    I’m surprised you didn’t tell us to fit the battery before trying.

    Thanks for informing me that if the fault is not a dud battery, then the van has to go in to get fixed. FFS!

    Yes what a total waste of time! The problem I have is the control unit, no LEDs showing and the remote bleeps it's a fault. Yeah, sounds like a bid fault like the control unit is fried!

    Instead of all the people below moaning about the video up above when it would be so much easier just to move on to the next video why don't you guys actually put some suggestions below in the comments because quite often a lot can be learned from the comments and here I am and my motor movers don't move at all and the battery in the remote is good and the battery in the caravan is good but the caravan has been stood for 8 months. So rather than trash this video I will try to be proactive find out what the problem is and type here so that others may learn. It's quite negative to state that you have wasted 3 minutes of your life and then spend 5 minutes typing about it .. be proactive so when you find the cause of your particular problem do the world of favour and come back and post it in the comments because quite often answers to a lot of things can be found in the comments. I'll be back ! .... I AM BACK 1 hour later !! and here is something for perusal. I have a 2010 Bailey pageant monarch series 7 two berth with auto motor movers and there was one particular video I saw elsewhere that was giving the wrong information on the buttons to press to engage the motor movers .. so I read the entire manual here and realised to engage properly you switch on the unit by quick pressing the two green buttons left and right and let the green LEDs strobe down to one green LED and as soon as one is glowing it is locked in and you press the center brown engage button and the either top or bottom arrow at the same time/just after/ depending on the location of the unit in unison to the caravan placement. If you position your remote control the same direction as the caravan (front to front) you need to engage the motor mover to the tyre with the button that is pointing in the direction the motor has to engage and as soon as you do that it will engage when you release the buttons and to disengage you use the opposite up/down arrow. If you look at the video I have favourited just now (ie go to my channel go to my favorites playlist and you will see a video from a UK caravan outfit 7 minutes long nearly) and it is thee best tutorial for auto and I say Auto motor movers so it is important to read your manual as silly as that sounds and not to take direction in some cases from UA-cam videos because the video I watched earlier was directing me to press the wrong set of buttons in the wrong order and as soon as I did it as per manual it engaged first time. There is also an umbilical cord wire if your battery fails in the remote control you can unscrew the plug at the end of the control unit remote and plug in an umbilical cord and plug it into the unit itself although I do not have that particular cord. Also if all red directional lights come on at the same time on the remote control it can indicate that your battery is low on the control unit and it takes the standard 9 volt battery that you would find in a smoke alarm. I only managed to engage one side of the motor movers as I have been sat in a caravan park for 8 months on a powered site but I am moving soon and so wanted to check everything out but there is a kind of a t-bar spanner that is red on the handle and what you do is take the plug out of the back of the motor and insert the t-bar spanner type thingy and give it a complete turn to kind of engage disengage the unit so that it actually syncs with the remote control And that is on the trugedians channel And although what I have dictated here may not be necessarily any good for a lot of people there is a lesson to be learned here that it is absolutely paramount to press the correct buttons in the correct order for it to operate because I was on the point of actually calling in a technician and for the sake of following a wrong UA-cam video and pressing a wrong button in the wrong order this saved me a lot of money but has wasted 3 hours of my time but hopefully what I type here may actually save someone else a pretty penny. I could apologise for the length of this but if it helps but one person then hey. Also to reset there is on my particular caravan a big red key next to the battery compartment inside and to reset it you simply turn it left take the key out leave for 20 seconds and then put the key back in turn clockwise and that basically directs the battery power to the motor movers. Another thing I saw this afternoon which was pretty good was actually before you use the motor movers to disengage IE switch off the battery mains switch inside the front door (well the only door lol) because you may have larger items or perhaps many lights on inside on battery power that would take necessary power needed for the motor movers so if you need that extra from the battery simply disengage the main switch to the battery before you use the motor movers. Anyway the video that put me on the right track is in my favorited playlist okay I left the UK in 2001 I am now in middle earth and we are in the depths of winter so Happy caravanning and greetings to everyone have a fantastic week

    oh so if its not the battery we should all pay someone else to do it that might book us in in 2 months

    Here's the truth of this video... As other have said it is a total waste of time. Rather than give USEFUL information to get you out of a hole, we are told to bring it in..... and well if we could move the caravan we wouldn't need to bring it in and as we cant move the caravan we cant bring it in.... I feel a song coming on....... There's a hole in my bucket dear Liza, dear Liza....there's a hole in my bucket dear Liza, a hole......

    absolutely useless video and of no help to people in a bind who have already checked the battery , would help if you showed reset videos as most movers suffer with signal failures and fault diagnosis which turns them off !!!!!!!!!!!!
