A caravan motor mover is a 12V motorized device that attaches to a caravan's chassis and uses rollers to grip the wheels, allowing you to manoeuver the caravan precisely using a remote control. They are powered by the caravan's leisure battery and are useful for moving a caravan into tight spaces without manual effort, offering benefits like pivoting on the spot and navigating difficult terrain

How it works
Attachment: The device is clamped to the caravan's chassis, with rollers that press against the caravan's wheels.
Power: It draws power from the caravan's leisure battery, so the battery must be well-charged.
Control: A remote handset is used to move the caravan forward, backward, left, or right, and even turn it on the spot.
Grip: The rollers often have a grooved or "gritted" surface to ensure good grip on the tyre, especially in wet conditions.
Engaging the rollers: Some models require manual engagement using a special wrench, while "auto-engage" models are more expensive but simpler to use.
Cross-actuation: For moving both wheels simultaneously, especially on twin-axle caravans or in tight spaces, a "cross-actuation bar" is necessary. This comes as a standard feature on some models and as an optional extra on others.
What to consider
Caravan weight: The motor mover's power must be appropriate for the caravan's weight.
Battery health: A good quality, well-charged leisure battery is essential for the mover to work effectively.
Cost: Prices can range from around £500 to over £2,500, depending on features and the level of power.
Features: Decide whether you need manual or automatic engagement, and if a cross-actuation bar is required for your needs.
Installation: Elite Lesiure offer professional installation services.
