Here is my 535GT fit. You don't have to remove the mud flaps they just need cutting shorter. I was told I would need to remove them to fir the movers but when I looked at it I decided to just cut them shorter. I then fitted a rubber extension to coz I calculated the cut wrong. Happy with the results.

510, 530 and 535 wheel position.

I had a Reich Easy drive Pro 1.8 fitted to our 2016 Troll 540GT today.
The mover is fitted to the front, initially contacted AL (Poole) they informed me front fitting is not possible due to location of the shock absorbers.
Richard (Midland motor movers) fitted the Reich mover in 90 minutes, excellent result and a 5 year warranty.



Could you post some pics from under the van so I could see what brackets have been used thanks

The brackets you have fit to the back, additional steel sections to support the pull out step interfere/stop you fitting your brackets on the front (I assume you have a Troll)step side. You could modify step side to fit.
The brackets MM Movers used would have cost a fraction of the Reich bracket cost.

I phoned power touch yesterday, again not very helpful, as soon as I said I owned an Eriba he said he would need photos of the van and measurements to know if the mover would fit, I then phoned Midland Motor Movers who were the exact opposite, very helpful with choosing a mover and are now booked to fit a Reich pro 1.8 in the near future 😊😊

Hi
We had a lightly used Reich easy driver pro 1.8 mover fitted to our Triton. Recommended by Preston based whizz AP Caravan services . He did a good job (thats his second for us now) thats why we went over to his workshop from near Bedale.-- Quality job and price good. He advised that the ground clearance was best with the Reich.
We currently park our rig up at home - a short 1in 6 driveway at the top of which we turn 90degrees and onto a gravel bay replaced front lawn. All done by Reich.
We had a Powr touch on a previous caravan and it was as powerful but the ground clearance wasn't there. Beware the home made speed humps.
I am checking the van at the moment and would like to "maintain" the Reich if needed. Has any one opened up the casing to inspect?
Has any one information or drawings or a minor annual maintenance advice.

Cheers

I had a Powertouch Evolution fitted, to my 1993 Pan Familia, at the beginning of 2017. It was installed by the mobile service engineer who did my service. He did fit plates of some kind to the chassis.
