The cheapest option is to pull the caravan onto a pair of 'Tyre Savers' which are designed to avoid flat spots which are contoured to the tyres circumference.

Thanks for that tango,have never seen them before, i take it you can just set them down and use the motor mover to drive onto them?

Yes, you can use the motor mover to drive the caravan on to the tyre savers providing that the tyres are dry and not wet. I returned to the storage from a towing journey after rain and tried to use the mover but because of the rear lower lip that has to driven over, the rollers began to slip so had to abandon the idea and hitch the car back up and pull the caravan onto the tyre savers. Once the caravan tyres are on, just let the caravan roll into it's own position then apply the handbrake. As the advice is to release the handbrake in winter to avoid it seizing up, it's a good alternative anyway to stop the caravan rolling away. Remember though that the caravan has to be reversed off the tyre savers due to the higher lip at the front.

Unless, of course, you reverse on to them ... then tow off forwards. Where we store, with the van fairly tight to the rear wall of the store, we have to do it the other way round.
