We had the same problem with our last van.
This had a Truma mover. New batteries in the remote didnt make any difference. It did however work a little better when you stood on the right side rather than the left. We just put up with it until we sold the van.
We have a Powrtouch on our present van and have no such problems anymore.

Have you got an outside light controlled by a PIR? If so try switching it off and see if your mover works any better.
My Truma mover would only work properly when I switched my outside light off.

We had a similar problem with our mover, when the van went in for its service last week I defected the mover & it was returned having had a new control box fitted & remote supplied.

There's a bloke up our street with electric gates.
They open automatically when anyone walks by with a mobile phone.
endless hours of fun, but I need a new pair of shoes now.
Try turning your phone off??

My dad has just had the same issue with his Carver mover, he's an engineer and after the caravan repair company couldn't work out what to do he's ordered a replacement part from farnell for £12 and saved himself a fortune :D
Good luck
