I recently added a new album to the Picture Gallery named surprisingly enough, 'Eriba Motor Movers'. It might be useful for forum members not having a mover fitted to their vans at this time, but who might possibly be considering having one fitted at some future time, to see what options are available. To this end members already having a mover fitted to their van might like to consider placing a photo or two in this album adding any useful information e.g. power supplies, fitting and any useful links (where this is not immediately obvious) to the description.

Just added mine

Excellent and most helpful. We need to have a mover fitted (by AVL, Tebay) before too long, plus extra power points etc. Reassuring to see what other Eribafolk have done.

Many thanks

Great idea, but I now have mover envy! The Move Control Economy that were fitted to mine when I bought it from Dom Fox (Eriba shop) do the job brilliantly but the new Easydriver looks more sleek and less like an add on. I have been planning to paint over the blue when the warranty expires with silver, not wanting to tempt fate prior to that.

We've got the pretty blue ones - already proved useful nosing up the drive on arrival.

Allan, I've added a sub-folder to your gallery for Mounting Plates which I hope will be a useful addition.

When the technician (dealer) fitted our Reich mover he telephoned them personally whilst I was in his presence to enquire which adapter plate was required because in the Movera catalogue the long version is described as being for the Eriba Touring Troll whilst the short version for the Eriba Touring.
There was a bit of head scratching from both parties as Reich apparently stated that there was variations even between two outwardly looking Eriba Touring models. In the end it was decided that Reich would supply the dealer with both versions neither of which actually fitted 100% as it turns out and which necessitated a bit of re-modelling work by the fitter. Make of that what you will.

These images are as they appear in the catalogue:

You're right, Allan, and I don't believe there's any definitive cross-reference of Reich mounting plate part number to Eriba model and year.

I stock one of each plate to make sure I'm not caught out when fitting to Eribas.

And to further muddy the waters the part numbers shown on your pics are Movera's and not Reich's.

They are not part numbers, John, but prices LOL and ridiculously expensive prices for a couple of lumps of metal.

Just a little bit of extra information that is required when adding a mover to a Familia, because there is less room at the back from the spare tyre and the articulating arm a modification has to be made to the spare wheel carrier if it is fitted. I would assume that AL and Jandi are aware of this and will no doubt carry out the modification, however a mobile engineer or I'm my experience Lowdhams will not be aware. It is still possible to fit the articulating arm ok and all looks well, however when you try and drop the spare wheel cage it will foul on the mover arm and it will not let you get the spare wheel out. You have to remove the cage and bend the back then rear locating arms evenly to allow a slight crank so that it will drop fully to the floor allowing the tyre to be removed. You can see the modification in the photograph.
