Manoeuvring aids for caravans - what you need to know:
What are caravan manoeuvring aids?
Caravan manoeuvring aids support and simplify the parking and unparking of caravans.
They move the caravan independently of the towing vehicle and enable smooth starting and precise stopping. Manoeuvring is flawless even on uneven terrain and slopes of up to 25 percent.
The weight of the caravan is the decisive factor when selecting a mover. Single-axle trailers up to 2300 kilograms and tandem-axle trailers up to 3100 kilograms can be easily manoeuvred by remote control. The drive is controlled manually using a rotary knob or slider on the handy remote control.
The mover is mounted in the immediate vicinity of the wheels on the vehicle frame and also has an integrated stop function.
A general operating licence is included with the mover, so there is no need to present it to the TÜV.
Which manoeuvring aid do I need for my caravan?
The manoeuvring aids do not differ in terms of function, but depend on the weight of the caravan and how many axles the caravan has.
How does a manoeuvring aid work?
The manoeuvring aids can be easily controlled using the remote control. Simply move the rotary knob or the slider in the desired direction and the caravan manoeuvres itself to the desired parking space. A 180-degree turn in one place is also no problem.
How is the manoeuvring aid installed?
It is advisable to have the installation carried out by a workshop, as the installation of the mover must be very precise so that it can be used properly and efficiently. The manoeuvring aid is attached in the immediate vicinity of the tyres. It is installed in front of the vehicle axle so that the mover is protected from splashing water from the tyres. However, the manoeuvring aid can be fitted in front of the axle as well as behind the axle. The mover is mounted to the chassis using screws.
What to do if the manoeuvring aid does not respond?
Firstly, the batteries in the remote control should be checked and replaced if necessary. Then the plug or adapter of the caravan should be correctly plugged into the safety socket. It is possible that the caravan's battery, which supplies the mover control unit, is not sufficiently charged. Otherwise, the fuse in the battery connection cable may be defective, which could have caused a short circuit. Otherwise, as a final step, please apply the handbrake and restart both the remote control and the Mover. The Mover can be restarted by disconnecting the battery or by disconnecting and reconnecting the safety plug.
What should I do if the remote control flashes?
If a signal tone sounds and the red warning triangle symbol flashes, the remote control has no connection to the control unit. Replace the battery or insert a suitable battery in the remote control (12 volt).
What do I have to consider with the Mover?
If the mover is not used for a longer period of time (24 hours or more), the circuit should be interrupted by removing the battery from the remote control. The distance between the remote control and the control unit should be at least 40 cm. Only leak-proof and heat-resistant micro batteries should be used for the remote control.
When should the Mover be serviced?
It is recommended to clean the Mover once a year before a longer period of inactivity. To do this, spray the Mover with water and remove any trapped stones or branches. As soon as the Mover is dry again, all moving parts can be sprayed with a silicone spray. Please do not spray the tyres or castors. For the control unit
