Does anyone have ideas what mover I should have fitted to my swift colonsay, MTPLM 1490. Purpleline have been a suggested manufacturer.

Best thing i ever bought after the caravan. Should have done it years ago.

In cornwall a few years back in the summer, It sank more than the sidewall of the tyres into the cornish mud.

Guy in the van next to me was rather shocked when my purpleline enduro mover pulled it out onto the tarmac.

Seems a bit easy for the rollers to slip on the tyres though.

I think the newer models are different though.

Max tow weight = Cars gross laden weight + Caravans gross laden weight.

These 2 figures must not exceed 3500kg. And the Caravans gross laden weight must not exceed the cars UNLADEN weight.

Unless the manufacturer has set a lower limit.

We have a purple line enduro, we've had it for nearly 2 years now on our swift, OH fitted it himself in an afternoon, and it's great, wouldn't be without it now, we highly recommend, but as above says others will be along with their recommendations.
But for the price we cannot fault it.

thanks for the feedback folks, i've just placed my order for the purpleline enduro, now looking forward to pitches where the good view would not have been achievable simply by reversing the van into place.

The price of the mover may pay for itself if you take into account clutch wear from reversing the van in tight spaces or up unlevel pitches.

I don't think you'll be dissapointed , we are really happy with ours, saves back breaking work trying to get it into the tight space on our drive too that we can't manoeuvre with the car.
