Trying to decide which mover to go for...I have a single axle Swift 555 and looking at the Truma Go 2. Does anyone have any experience of this mover or have another recommendation they could make....Cheers

I used this company and found them to be very knowledgeable. I asked for the titan (on special offer at £599 inc free fitting) but they said I would need an Enduro 2 for my caravan and will fit that one instead at the same price. From the first telephone call to fitting has taken approx 12 days.

However, if you need spacers and suchlike in order to fit, these will cost extra - and not cheap either! They are coming to fit mine this afternoon!

Will let you know how I go on. TBH I don't think there's much difference between the makes at all, the only thing that is good with this one is that it has 5 years parts and labour warranty thrown in free as well, so that's good for peace of mind. If they can warranty something for 5 years, it must be a good one, I think.

There's not much to choose between them though Powrtouch have often been mentioned on here for excellent customer service. There are often posts from people who have had replacement parts sent out long after the warranty has expired. As they also match the price of the competion I bought the Powrtouch. 5 years later it is still as good as new and on the second caravan.

Fitter came and fitted - I needed drop plates at extra cost. I have to say I'm proetty impressed, whizzed around my shale-type soft drive with ease.

I have a few questions I'm hoping someone with a mover can sort out for me on another thread, help please! it's the #motormover fitted tomorrow!# thread on this section.

I contacted powrtouch and asked if they had any Refurb/ Ex dispalys to sell. AS it happens they did and purchased one for £350 but this was 5 years ago. I fiited it myself in about 2 hours.

Another endorsement for this company great service, Mover fitted a month ago really glad weve had it done.
