We have a Truma SE mover fitted which pulls to the near side when in use. Any ideas please? Also, can you advise the size of the battery required in amps?
Many thanks

All caravan movers will do pretty much the same thing these days so for me choosing 'the best' motor mover out there is based upon their warrenty and price for what i get as well as easy replace, repair or remove. Have you had a look at this post about popular caravan movers?

Hi, we have just got a caravan and want to know what is the best motor mover out there? Our drive is steep, and caravan weight is 1,100kg- any advise welcome!

Hi Geoff, As mentioned in the Reich Caravan Motor Mover post this is a known problem with these movers. If you are having trouble with the present location of your caravan mover then my suggestion would be to consider moving it but if all is running well then, don’t try and fix what isn’t broken
Having said that 50mm is a lot more clearance. Not knowing your caravan I would have to say that who ever fitted the mover would have taken the extra clearance and weighed this against the extra hassle of relocating the spare wheel and such. If you are still concerned about it call the fitter and ask him why he located it were he did, there may be some other reason that isn’t obvious to us laymen.

Hope this helps a little
