Thanks, but that's not the problem though. The mover is apparently fitted too close so with or without the auto engage there is not enough room for the mover to extend enough so that the green band shows enabling it to work efficiently and effectively. We have one of those drills and use it for the steadies and to put pegs in.

If you want it fixed "no bother" then take it to J England of this forum. We used him for our electrics traveling from the I O W to the Wirrel because no one down here could fix them.Mended beautifully, lovely fellow , knows Eriba's inside out.

I have a Troll 530gt 2001 model.

I had a Reich Mover fitted by MIdland Movers in Aldridge on my way back from Lincolnshire where I purchased the van, in 2014.

I have never had any problems with it, I couldn't be without it , we have a steepish drive and I use the mover to get the van in and out
onto the road and then hook up.

Midland Movers fitted it in an hour, take some pics of the mountings and send them to them and I am sure they will advise you if it is correctly fitted.

I seem to remember them saying that Eriba's had to have them mounted upside down and they needed special brackets to achieve a good fit.

Hope you get sorted.

have you checked your tyre pressure? Dom over in Norfolk fits Reich movers

Thank you very much for all the suggestions and help. That's what's so good about this forum! It certainly made us realise that the mover does need sorting! I'm sure that Mr. England would be able to fix it but a trip to the Wirral would be a long haul. I've been in touch with Dom Fox who was most helpful and has given me details of his fitter (though he is very busy at the moment). I also contacted Paul at AL who was also most concerned. As AL fitted it and as we are planning a last summer getaway in that direction anyway we'll probably take it down there and see if they can get it working properly before the autumn.

Would the incorrect fitting also account for uneven tyre wear?
We have the same slipping as Magpie and a band of wear on each tyre.

Thank you John.
I have 10mm at the inner shoulder so I presume this means there cannot be enough contact or pressure across sufficient width of the tyre to work correctly.
