Ok I know this has probably or most likely been discussed before but as motor movers have been around for some time now what are your preference to make/model. My last caravan had a Truma that came with the van when we bought it and was very good in my opinion to climb up our gravel driveway however we have recently bought another caravan that has a Ryno mover fitted but the control box buttons are a nightmare to operate and have to be very close to the caravan for it to operate so have decided to buy a new mover. Don't want to spend a fortune on one but want reliability and for it to do the job. Have seen Towsure do there own (Towsure MoveMASTER) and I'm sure they are just renamed from another make but are they any good as they are only £499 to buy or would you suggest something else.
Looking forward to your replies.

I am also looking at buying one as it is getting increasingly difficult to get our van in and out of the storage we use.
The Towsure ones look to be exactly the same as the Emove ones, but £100 cheaper. They both come with a 5 year warranty.

Looks very much like the Emove I bought of Ebay last year which works a treat, also with a 5 year warranty.. but to be fair not used it enough to comment on reliability.

FYI ...The £500 magic mover was the one I ordered, I received the re badged Emove.

That's what I was thinking as they all look the same but different names on them. I am now looking at getting the powrtouch classic. They are £599 but there is a code to use (so my wife has found out) where you can get £50 off this price so this looks like the best deal at the moment so that will be a £50 saving. Will have to look into it a bit more. It also seems that all the movers I've looked at have a 5 year guarantee with them for parts and labour unless you fit it yourself then you only get the guarantee on the parts.

Didn't know about the code to get £50 off, but I have looked at "caravanmoversonline.co.uk" and they work out to be cheaper than Towsure on their fitted price, even with that discount.

And they are local to me.

I'm on our 2nd PowrTouch classic and very pleased. Try and get the cross bar actuation to save having to go both sides to engage.

Llanidavis I will look into that.
Navver I will definitely get one with the cross actuator.
The mover on our caravan at the moment doesn't have it unlike our previous one and you definitely miss it. We are leaning more towards the Powrtouch classic so who knows it may be the one.

Powertouch Classic is £699 fitted from the company I linked to above, and it includes cross van actuation.
I shall be ringing them Monday!

We have recently had to replace our Reich mover, after 10 years of frequent use. The fitter told us he used to fit and repair all makes of mover but now deals solely with Reich movers, as in his experience they were the most reliable.

Llanidavis yes I've been looking at your link and that is the one the wife found for £549 delivered including the discount for myself to fit at home.

Iwalani that lasted well and I take it you are/have the same again?

We are still undecided but will keep looking.

We have recently upgraded from a Powrwheel auto engage single axle motor mover to an Powrwheel auto engage AWD motor mover. Both worked brilliantly. The single axle one is lying in the garage waiting for our return next week so that we can sell it.

Iank01 Powrwheel are the company that makes the Powrtouch mover but also while I was looking through the internet I stumbled across this, copied and pasted.

Merger of Truma (UK) LTd and Powrwheel Limited
The owners and management of our companies Truma (UK) Ltd and Powrwheel Limited would like to announce that the two “sister” businesses will be merged into one new company from 1st January 2017.

Did anyone else know this. Says to me why a lot of movers look identical in most ways but different names.

Common knowledge to most people. Powertouch still rules!

From all the reviews I've read over the years of all the movers available, owners seem happy with whatever they've got.

I've got the Powertouch, which works well, but only because that's what they had in stock.

You're unlikely to buy a turkey whatever you choose.
