Though at the entry level, the original Truma caravan mover still features the robust design and advanced technology you’d expect from Truma.  The roller coating has been improved to increase the grip delivered to the wheels in the toughest conditions, enhancements to the electronics and PCB board design make the circuits more reliable and the remote control unit now uses an FM signal to enhance the handsets performance.  In following through on their commitment to quality, even the low range Truma caravan mover exhibits the attention to detail and build quality of more expensive competitors.

• Simple installation: Running off your existing 12v leisure battery system (min 85Ah recommended), the mover is easy to install and does not require drilling or welding.
• Powerful: With a drive power of 1600Kg (or up to 1200Kg 1:4 incline) these movers are powerful enough to get all but the most laden caravans safely off your drive and into position on site.
• Efficient control: The FM remote control ensures safe efficient manouvering of your caravan and moving at similar speeds to the Space Shuttle launcher (30cm/sec) it is fast enough to get the job complete efficiently.
• Manual actuation: Simple, effective manual engagement system onto a maximum of 205mm tyres keeps the price of this mover low.  An optional cross actuation kit allows those with restricted access to engage/disengage the system from just one side.

As technology advances, what used to be considered a luxury becomes an essential.  Just as Bill Gates was mocked for suggesting there would be a PC in every home (let alone two or three), Caravan Movers used to be considered unnecessary.  Now though, there are several distinct advantages to owning a Truma Caravan Mover:

• Storing your caravan in a difficult to access location, or with a difficult to manage surface (bumps, potholes or loose gravel) does not mean that bringing the caravan in or out has to be a chore with a Mover doing the hard work.
• Rushing to get away, or being upset/worried about returning home can be stressful enough.  With a Mover obeying your every command, there is no need to add to the stress by trying to co-ordinate the family in helping you move the caravan.
• If age or injury means you can no longer manhandle your caravan, you don’t have to sacrifice the outdoors if you let the Mover do the heavy work for you.

The internet is awash with comments on the original Truma Caravan Mover.  Below we’ve brought together some of the good and bad to give you a feel for what people are saying.

• ‘Truma after care are very helpful.  My Mover stopped working toward the end of last season.  Truma offered to check out the set up at their workshop (Derby) or just ‘go over’ the unit if I couldn’t get to Derby and posted the unit.  Though I was adamant it was fine, the suggested first trying a different battery.  What do you know, a new battery did the job.  Bery helpful & saved me removing the unit’.
• ‘The cross actuation kit (an extra on the original Truma caravan mover) is well worth the extra cost. Parking the caravan next to a wall would be a real pain if I had to be able to access the wheel arch on both sides’.

• ‘The original Truma caravan mover does not have a built in isolator and there is some drain when powered even when not being used.  It is well worth having your own fitted when it’s installed.  Remember to locate this somewhere convenient that remains accessible once you’ve parked’.

The original Truma caravan mover is a fantastic entry level mover for those who are looking for a quality single axel mover and don’t mind manual actuation.  With great customer service, a price matching promise and fast delivery, check out the below offers.
