I want to fit a remote control Motor Mover to our Triton. Any comments or advice please! Seen one, fitted price new £595 on the bay at Coventry, its a Rhyno. Any good?

I can't advise about the Rhyno mover, just be aware that you will also need a fitting kit as the Eriba doesn't have a standard caravan chassis. Personally I have a Reich comfort which is excellent but expensive. You will also need to do a bit of home work as some of the cheaper movers are not as good value as you think when it comes to performance, reliability and after sales spares . Have read of this link to help you choose.

This firm will either supply or come and fit a mover for you.

spotted that eriba-shops on ebay fits movers its mention at bottom of advert.. no idea of price.

pro tec sell what look like a tank to go under the hitch. this doesn't cause any payload loss compared to a fixed mover

Thanks poptop320, I think I will speak to midlandmotormovers after the hols. Always gets more complicated the more you look!

No probs, try this link again. It looks like the original one I posted didn't work?

................and don't forget having a mover fitted will greatly reduce your user payload. Our Triton was rated at 840kg by Hymer but with the extras such as fly-screen to the windows/door, alloy wheels/spare wheel and a couple of other bits and bobs, the actual weighbridge weight brings it in at 920kg. Our van is rated at 1200kg which leaves us 280kg for user payload. Sounds a lot but you'd have to knock off a fair bit if having a mover and associated battery fitted.

Yes, the load limit is marginal for us, so really need to get things right. Lightest looks like 25Kg. But will need to speak to suppliers as the Eriba seems out of the ordinary (!).

Well, just bit the bullet and ordered a Reich Comfort motor mover from Midlands Motor Movers. It's dear enough but seems the only viable unit apart from the economy one, but this has S/S fittings and is galvanised as well as having updated electronics. It seems all the other makes have an issue with clearance to the ground and other agents seem confused at best as to whether they will fit!
We really do need it as neither of us is getting younger and I am a bit disabled so not much use at shoving a ton of van around. Our drive is pretty much level and smooth though. Being fitted next Wednesday so will report back then........thanks for all the advice guys.

The Reich Comfort motor mover is one of the options that I have ordered on my new Troll 540....I look forward to hearing what you think about it in use etc....

Well, the Midlands Motor Movers man came and two hours later all done! I must say it looks a very neat job and does what it says on the tin. I did get some pics and will sort and post asap. the chap was pleasant enough but not at all talkative. The unit is behind the axle and fitted upside down. There are 3 different fitting plates specially for Eribas apparently and the plastic cover shroud was cut to clear something. It was obvious that he had done many of these as he did not need to check anything at all. He was off to do another Triton at Hereford afterwards..........
We are off to Stratford this weekend so will have a play then.
