electric motor caravan movers ??

SKI'er,

5 metres by hand is not that far to do with a Maco Mule, or similar device.

There is a 12 volt motor driven unit built in WA, but they cost in the order of $2000 or so.

I use a ratchet driven dual wheel Maco Mule to move the camper up a slight slope and turn 90% to the shed.

Hi Member, barry F,

Thanks for your thoughts and doubts. I am relatively new to caravaning so if I do not use the correct terms please forgive..

We are days back from 2 months in England... think smaller house blocks etc etc but they still seem able to park their vans on a sixpence and without the possibility of using the 4by to help then in the final stages. I couldn't get a handle on how... but it has to be a mechanical assist much beyond my rathcet power lever thing,

Re skid.... yes we experience this accentuated by the hollow that caravan road wheels miraculously seem to dig in the lawn whilst parked. I have ovecome this by plonking (asking) the wife to stand on the tow frame close to the jockey wheel. (I whisper) 80kg in this position is enough to combat the skid of the power jockey wheel but her mass makes the power handle work much more strenuous.

I am certain that if I throw enough grey cell effort and $$ into this problem I can park and move the van more easily. I am into EASY.

thanks for your input

I have a similar problem and my solution was to buy an electric boat trailer winch and have an anchor point where it attaches and just pull it back in. I use my battery out of the van for power .
