"The powrtouch product is the best on the market and certainly far better than others mentioned."
How did you arrive at this conclusion? - years of testing in the field, I presume. As for comparing Rolls Royce to a nissan, anyone that has ever been involved in QA would inform you that the japanese car industry practically re-invented the word quality ( with the help of QA engineers from the west initially.
(Enduro charge £99.00 for the additional 3 years, bringing the total guarantee period to 5 years)
Total £ 744.95 fitted
It is a bit dearer than other people's quotes on here - I think I must have gone wrong with the unit I used as a price-match example, which was an Enduro mover for £649.95 from http://campervanaccessories.co.uk. However, it looks as if it would cost me over £1,000 if I paid full price for it, so it's a good price, even if more than I expected. Another bonus, of course, is that they come to you to fit it, which is worth a few bob in itself.
I was a bit confused by the extra 3 years guarantee, because I Powrtouch give a 5-year guarantee anyway but I realised that I price-matched with one that has only 2 years guarantee.
Just as a personal comment, there seems to be a lot said about a 5-year guarantee. I'd just question the value of this, as when you look at them , all they are are 2 12v motors and a fairly simple control box, and actually do very little work over the year
My view was that if there's anything wrong with them you would find out quickly, certainly within 2 years.
So I went for the best design, which in my view was the the Enduro, which also was the cheapest when I bought it, by a long way.
I've had it a year,fitted it myself, absolutely no problems.

I said I wasn't much good at this sort of thing!

I would question the charge for the guarantee I did a price match against the Enduro and still got the 5 years are you sure the £95 wasn't for the fitting.
This is from Powrtouch website 'We will match any price and still maintain our quality and 5 year FOC (Free Of Charge) guarantee (not a warranty) for parts and labour.'

It was definitely for the extra guarantee - I cut and pasted that sum out of their email. I did wonder if they would drop the extra 3 years guarantee if I asked them nicely! I don't know whether I'll still be caravanning in 5 years - I'm only doing this to see how I get on towing on my own and, if I don't like it in 12 months' time, I'll sell the 'van anyway. No harm in asking, I suppose, they can only say no can't they?
I've just contacted Powrwheel regarding price match with the Enduro and Powrwheel are adding £95 for the extra 3yr warranty they have as standard.Current costs are a DIY fitting for the Enduro including delivery £587 2yr warranty,Powrwheel £682 5yr warranty both are for parts only.
