I think the Easydriver is their latest model, could you post some pictures?

I wonder if there would be any benefit from cutting some large holes in the lower cover to allow the rubbish to be washed out?

I already did that, I'm eager to see them fitted to an Eriba.

I'll put some photos up when I can. The mover and fitting came to £1325 - a lot of money but worth it, I think (& hope!!).

Thanks in advance for the pics. We had one fitted to ours (older style) before bringing it home due to our sloping drive but the ease of hitching and positioning on site alone makes it worth it. To my mind, the reduction in injury risk over ten years makes it great value.

The reduction in injury risk isn't often mentioned but reminds me that Frances and I witnessed and rushed to prevent a serious accident when we saw an elderly Dutch gentleman lose control of his caravan as it began to roll backwards. He was desperately trying to hold it and slipped so that he was stuck behind the jockey wheel as the van gathered speed in reverse. He could not grab the handbrake and his wife could not catch up. It was her screaming that alerted us!
We managed to slow and stop the van with help from another couple. He was hurt but fortunately it didn't become serious.
A mover would have prevented this, if it was engaged.

I fitted an Easy Driver Pro 1.8 to a Troll 555GTV at the beginning of June this year - maybe it was the first to be bolted to an Eriba, I don't know.

Reich are reducing their Mover range and the Easy Driver now replaces the Comfort. The Economy is still in production and I fitted one to a 2015 Familia earlier this week.
.
For some reason the chassis configuration on the 555 didn't allow for any of Reich's off-the-shelf mounting brackets, and I had to design my own to fit.

To ensure the mover's rollers aligned with the centre of the wheel I gained a further inch or two of height by cutting off the chassis jacking tubes.

Based on Aaron Calder's research plus the additional brackets and fixing complications because it's an Eriba, it looks like you've had a good deal. Most important is that you are happy with it and it will make life so much easier.
