Patp Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Hi I am finding it difficult to manoeuvre my caravan for parking and hitching to and from festivals and wondered if anybody had been able to fit a motor mover to an older caravan with a b & b trailer chassis?

Shirl250 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) I always think these people look like they should know what they are doing. Give them a call perhaps. ..... Midland Motor Movers From their web site : Specialised in None Standard Chassis Fitments If you have a caravan which has a none standard chassis which you struggle to find a suitable caravan mover for we are able to help. Get in touch for a no pressure chat on what movers and fitting options are available. Not sure about their English/grammar though. .....

Patp Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks I will give them a call in the morning. Wasn't sure about the ones on the jockey wheel as I heard they are not so good on grass. Also is the jockey wheel changed permanently or just when you want to use it?

a13est Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Thanks I will give them a call in the morning. Wasn't sure about the ones on the jockey wheel as I heard they are not so good on grass. Also is the jockey wheel changed permanently or just when you want to use it? In my experience they are not good on any surface! Alan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rodders53 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) http://www. powrwheel. com/caravan-movers/bespoke-fitting. html covers this situation. .. it will likely cost a little extra for modified fixing bracketry (if needed). Getting a proper caravan mover was the best thing I did (albeit an expensive purchase).
