    Caravan Movers – FAQ’s
    What is a caravan mover and how does it work?
    A caravan mover uses motor-driven rollers that clamp onto your tyres, allowing remote-controlled manoeuvring without a tow vehicle.
    Which mover is best: PowrTouch, Ewiks, or Ewiks Auto?
    PowrTouch is the premium soft-start option. Ewiks is cost-effective and robust. Ewiks Auto offers automatic engagement for tight spaces.
    What battery size do caravan movers require?
    Ewiks needs 45Ah+, while PowrTouch and Ewiks Auto work best with 100–102Ah batteries.
    Why does my caravan mover slip on the tyres?
    Low tyre pressure, uneven tyres, worn rollers, or a weak battery usually cause slipping.
    Do caravan movers need annual servicing?
    Yes, servicing prevents wear and keeps warranties valid, especially for PowrTouch.
    Will a mover fit my off-road caravan?
    Yes — Ewiks is extremely popular for off-road caravans and handles rough terrain well.
    Do movers fit all caravans?
    Most caravans are compatible, but some require specific movers depending on chassis layout.
    Can a mover be fitted to a twin-axle caravan?
    Yes — PowrTouch AWD is ideal for twin-axle caravans and provides excellent turning ability.
    Air Conditioners – FAQ’s
    Which type of air conditioner is best for caravans?
    Rooftop units cool best. Mid-wall units offer value. Front-mount units are compact and lightweight.
    Can I run my aircon from a battery?
    Not with standard batteries. You need a large inverter and lithium bank for off-grid aircon.
    Do you install mid-wall split units?
    Yes — if the caravan design allows, split units work extremely well.
    How much power does a caravan aircon draw?
    Between 600W and 1500W depending on model and BTU rating.
    Solar Installations – FAQ’s
    How many watts of solar do I need?
    200–400W for weekends. 600–1000W+ for full off-grid setups.
    Is MPPT better than PWM?
    Yes — MPPT is 20–40% more efficient and recommended for modern systems.
    Can solar charge my battery while towing?
    Yes, if combined with a DC-DC charger for alternator and solar compatibility.
    Do flexible solar panels last as long?
    Rigid panels last longer and are more efficient. Flexible panels are for special cases.
    What size inverter do I need?
    1000W for basics; 2000–3000W for kettles, microwaves, etc.
    Rear-View Cameras – FAQ’s
    Why fit a rear-view camera?
    It removes blind spots, improves reversing, and makes lane changes safer.
    Are wireless cameras reliable?
    Yes — quality wireless transmitters work even on long caravans.
    Can I use one system on multiple tow vehicles?
    Yes — simply swap the monitor between vehicles.
    Jockey Wheels – FAQ’s
    What size jockey wheel do I need?
    Most caravans use either 48mm or 60mm shafts depending on the A-frame.
    What is a fatty jockey wheel?
    A wide 11" or 13" wheel designed for sand and soft surfaces.
    Can I upgrade to an auto jockey?

    FAQ's

    A caravan mover is a caravan manoeuvring system consisting of two or four electric motors driving rollers that engage with the caravan tyres to move the caravan. They can move the caravan in any direction, forward, backwards, turn and even rotate on the spot (single axle vans). All this is controlled by a simple remote control. The drive rollers are engaged with the tyres to manoeuvre the caravan and disengaged when you are towing, they are powered from your caravan leisure battery.

    Yes, all movers can be removed from your old caravan and transferred to your new one. You cannot swap a single axle model to a twin axle caravan and vice versa. If the caravans have different chassis you may need different brackets.

    Caravan movers are not a one size fits all. Different caravans require different brackets, battery etc resulting in each quote being different

    Yes, the PowrTouch carries a 5 year warranty and the Ewiks a 12 month warranty
