But my problem is that the leisure battery is brand new, the remote control is paired and has the green lights, but when I press the buttons to engage the mover, NOTHING works, Why??? any ideas please anybody.
Thank you very much for this instructional and great video clip. With your very clear and concise information I was able to move my Colchester caravan in my front yard. Have a great day.😊😊😊
My leisure battery is charged, my motormover is engaged and locked aginst the wheel. I power up my remote, get the solid green light then...nothing. no noise, no movement, nothing. Any ideas?
@@huwsgray thanks for sharing, though I’ve had the battery out for a full charge and put it back securely and still nothing. Have a repair chap booked for the earliest available slot….May! Just back from first trip of the year and was the poor idiot heaving the caravan about! We’ll get there
The instruction booklet for my motor mover, which is the same model as the video, states you shouldn't turn off the motor mover using the remote, but leave it to power off itself, takes about 60 secs. The use of the remote for turning off is apparently only in emergency, whatever that means.
THEE BEST TUTORIAL ON THE WEB FOR AUTO MOTOR MOVERS !!! Thank you so very much I have favorited it and I will direct other people to this video because I have just spent 3 hours trying to get my motor movers engaged following the incorrect buttons procedure that someone else on RU-vid was saying. As soon as I followed this one the motor movers engaged and voila. Greetings back to the homelands with gratitude in abundance.
This is a really helpful vid. Picking up first caravan this coming weekend. Will use this to write up a checklist. Only question, is what stops the caravan from falling back on it's rear end, if on a slight incline? Would it not be wise to keep the steadies half down incase the van toppled back? Or is this a non issue?
Hello :) Thank you for you comments. It is very rare in most cases for this to happen as you tend to have heavy items such as gas bottles at the front of the caravan to weigh it down. However, for back end heavy caravans then yes. it is sensible to have the legs halfway down if you are going forwards up an incline. Although, we would recommend reversing up an incline if you can rather than going up the incline forwards :) Hope this makes sense and answers your question. Many thanks.
Normally, for safe towing, to avoid weaving, a trailer will be loaded so it is nose heavy, eg around 50kg pressing down on the tow ball. It is possible to put some extra weight in the front of the trailer if necessary
