Excellent video, the only valid point i will add is check the position of the jockey wheel, ours was at a 90 degree position and it ripped the jockey wheel completely off. Fortunately my neighbour had a jockey wheel and saved the day.
THEE BEST TUTORIAL ON THE WEB FOR AUTO MOTOR MOVERS !!! Thank you so very much I have favorited it and I will direct other people to this video because I have just spent 3 hours trying to get my motor movers engaged following the incorrect buttons procedure that someone else on UA-cam was saying. As soon as I followed this one the motor movers engaged and voila. Greetings back to the homelands with gratitude in abundance.
The instruction booklet for my motor mover, which is the same model as the video, states you shouldn't turn off the motor mover using the remote, but leave it to power off itself, takes about 60 secs. The use of the remote for turning off is apparently only in emergency, whatever that means.
This is a really helpful vid. Picking up first caravan this coming weekend. Will use this to write up a checklist. Only question, is what stops the caravan from falling back on it's rear end, if on a slight incline? Would it not be wise to keep the steadies half down incase the van toppled back? Or is this a non issue?
Hello :) Thank you for you comments. It is very rare in most cases for this to happen as you tend to have heavy items such as gas bottles at the front of the caravan to weigh it down. However, for back end heavy caravans then yes. it is sensible to have the legs halfway down if you are going forwards up an incline. Although, we would recommend reversing up an incline if you can rather than going up the incline forwards :) Hope this makes sense and answers your question. Many thanks.
Normally, for safe towing, to avoid weaving, a trailer will be loaded so it is nose heavy, eg around 50kg pressing down on the tow ball. It is possible to put some extra weight in the front of the trailer if necessary
But my problem is that the leisure battery is brand new, the remote control is paired and has the green lights, but when I press the buttons to engage the mover, NOTHING works, Why??? any ideas please anybody.
My leisure battery is charged, my motormover is engaged and locked aginst the wheel. I power up my remote, get the solid green light then...nothing. no noise, no movement, nothing. Any ideas?
@@huwsgray thanks for sharing, though I’ve had the battery out for a full charge and put it back securely and still nothing. Have a repair chap booked for the earliest available slot….May! Just back from first trip of the year and was the poor idiot heaving the caravan about! We’ll get there
Excellent description for the novice angler.

I have this mover but confusingly the engage is the top righthand arrow button and retract the top lefthand button

I have found that only certain makes of battery work.
Some are slightly longer than other's.
I thought my controller had broken but it was the battery
But my problem is that the leisure battery is brand new, the remote control is paired and has the green lights, but when I press the buttons to engage the mover, NOTHING works, Why??? any ideas please anybody.
Why have you left battery door down? On uneven surfaces this can dig in and cause damage.
A very good and clear video on how to use your motor mover

This just happened to me, loose connections on the leisure battery. Tightened them up and worked straight away

Don't need to press reverse to put mover onto tyre 🤔
This system on my Swift caravan is real rubbish.Its very haphazard .Doesnt work most of the time.The remote is more complicated than it needs to be,
