🏕 Powerful Gen 2 Mini Mover 550W Jockey Wheel 12V Electric Caravan Mover Review 

Thanks for the video Garry. The problem with a single point mount on this mover is that it will DEFINITELY flex. I had installed the original one supplied on my caravan A frame and just before a trip from SA to WA the mount flexed and broke the welds done for it and dropped the whole front of the caravan down on top of the mover mount. No damage to the mover and my feet were not under it. Note to everybody; stand clear of being under the A frame, as it will do a lot of damage to you if it drops. I had no option but to carry a garage floor jack with the caravan to maneuver it onto the Patrol tow bar. At the first Port of call, I found a caravan repairer who welded another single point mount (the other one was totally f***ed) and I continued on my way. When I got home from this travel I managed to get a double mount and totally weld the back plate onto the A frame as well as a square tube making up the rest of the height of the plate, now making it IMPOSSIBLE for the back plate to flex. The A frame will flex before the back plate of the mount will!! There is still some flex possible with the double mount however, as the single handle is the only part that holds the movable plate onto the baseplate (I wish it had 2 handles or bolts on the moveable plate to secure the post at 2 points), but no one makes such an animal. Now that these mods have been done it will move and park my 22ft caravan into a very tight space with little effort on my part. I have also changed the power cable to include an Anderson Plug. Works very well for the price, would be far greater out of pocket than alternatives, and it's small enough to store away in the front bin of the caravan when travelling.

Cheers Garry I bought one after checking reviews like yours. I can also confirm that it does go over grass and up inclines. when it got too steep I just put some more weight over the towing point and with someone just giving a little nudge from behind it got around a tight 90degree bend in my driveway and onto the level ready for towing away. I used one of those 12volt power packs that you can use for jump starting dead batteries.

Hi Gary great video I baught one for my camper works great it does make a different noise under load as opposed to dead flat but I think I heard a bit of that in your video too but I love it

I have had two 12 volt Jockey wheels over the years. I just run them off the House Battery's Through and anderson plug on the A=frame. They dont use very much power or deplete the battery. Just bought one of these GEN 2 units so now I have three movers. I will have to give the others away to friends.

What a great wee video.My motor mover on our van is knackered.Reversed up my drive and my clutch was smoking and stinking .I'm sure this is the same one we are waiting on .Thanks

Cheers from Melbourne Garry! I have just ordered a similar model, I think its a T-Rex (3500kg max tow). Its louder than I thought it would be, but hopefully will work great! Thanks for your work!

Good review there, exactly what i wanted to know. They sell this exact same model over here in sweden and in the uk at biltema. Looking to get a small caravan to take the family on a summer holiday, this will be perfect for getting it parked spot on.

Great video. I’m going to buy one.

Awesome!!!

I have watched all the videos i can find on these, and haven't found one that shows how it is set up when hauling the trailer...does it swing up or jack up like a normal wheel? From the turn lever on top i assume it telescopes but cant be sure, hate assuming. is it a good bit of clearance?

Great Review. Is it as loud in real life as it appeared in vid ? If so can you see why. I'm looking to custom fit the bottom part of one of these to a motor cycle sidecar frame to give me a reverse gear.

Nice video thanks Gary. I purchased the exact same electric mover to use on my car box trailer. It works great on solid surfaces, block paving, tarmac and dry short grass however it is next to useless on gravel loose surfaces. The tyre does not have enough surface contact area and is just too small to do the job. So I’m now looking to have to sell it and try a heftier Motor Mover solution

Great video and nice responses. Thank you. I wonder how this would work with heavier vans, for example 2.2T tare on 5 to 10 degree incline hard compacted gravel driveway?

Hi mate, where did you get the clamp that holds it on the A frame.

Just bought an Adria, it's only a small caravan and I imagine the mover would pull it without any problems. Problem is I have some grass I need to pull over, do you think it could move the van on grass? (It is on the level.)

Interesting video. Wonder this gonna move my heavy caravan with double axle.

fantastic thanks

Have you used this on grass or an incline? I have a 21ft Offroad van on grass I wish to move. Weights just under the 2700kg limit of this wheel. Thx.

great video thanks a lot

How does this unit perform pushing a trailer up the 2 lips/step ups into most Australian Garages.

Hi Garry. Excellent video. I have just bought one of these. I need to buy the jockey wheel mount and a battery and clamps. Can I ask where you got the battery and other kit?. Thanx.

Isn't there a better way to power these than having a separate battery to power the unit. Surely there is a way to plug into the caravan battery.

Hi, can you send a link to the "U" style clamp bracket you used

Do you think this would be capable of moving a 10/16 " out building ?

What do you think about version 350 W? Only this version is availeble in my shop... My Trailer have 1500 kg. Thank you

Thanks Garry - would have liked to have seen how it went on a bit of a slope but it looks like it has plenty of grunt. Noisy little bugger but better than strained back muscles :-)

Thanks garry

How would you say this goes moving a bigger caravan?

Would this work on gravel?

Still happy with it mate?
