You must remember to regularly check the condition of your caravan and linkages to make sure that you arrive safely and with everything that you had at the start of your journey.
Many caravanners find the use of a motor mover makes the task of manoeuvring their caravan for hitching up, placing on-site and moving around a storage area so much easier.
The most popular and effective type of mover is the axle-mounted type, which consists of a frame bolted to the caravan chassis with a 12V electric motor and roller assembly at each end.
