With a twin axle, the turning radius is less than you can achieve with the car. So the mover gets used for any levelling or lining up the wheel lock.

Durbanite Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Same here as I like to test my skills and use the mover as a last resort or just to line up the caravan. If I can no longer reverse onto a pitch then maybe it is time to stop driving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fit quite snugly and give just the right amount of extra noseweight required after loading all our standard stuff. Wow! I have a tiny 11v battery drill that weights next to nothing, and I keep a very small set of tools that is always in the car nestled in the spare wheel, largely unused. It has just a couple of spanners, and screwdrivers and weighs no more than a kilogram. The above quote is like having a full aquaroll. Quote Mitsubishi ASX4 Interests, none worth mentioning.

ian dunning Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) How about if you are a site owner and you don't want damage you have a rule that vans with motor movers only are accepted? How about those that don't like it use their discretion and not use said site? How about those 4 wheel drivers in their smugness, as they drive out of the gate of a rather muddy site, look behind them to check for damage to the ground? How about those who have movers use their discretion s to whether use them or not? How bout those without movers leave those with alone to use their discretion? How about. .................choices, choices and individuality. ........Noooooo, CT WOULDN'T BE THE SAME !

Totally agree . The ability to reverse a vehicle is a legal requirement as a qualified driver and have a motor mover does not replace this requirement . There are situations when towing on the road that the need to reverse is required .

My drill + toolbox is not really that heavy - honest; but it does give just the right noseweight!! 1 Quote If at first you don't succeed, it may be best to give up.
