I am picking my new 535GT up tomorrow from the the Tebay dealer. They recommended the PowerTouch Evolution but. I haver done some research and rang Midland Motor Movers and they recommended the Reich.

Any one comment on which I should go for?

I am fancying g the Reich as its German and they have adaptor plates specifically for the Eriba.

I did ring PowerTouch but the salesman was not very helpful and wanted pictures of the chassis to see if their PowerTouch Evolution would fit!

Anyone self fitted?

Hello Ted

I've fitted Reich movers to most Eriba models and would recommend Reich's Easydriver - I fitted an Easydriver Pro 1.8 to a Triton last month, and the fit is similar to your Troll.

Reich's mounting plates are designed to ensure the drive rollers are aligned level with the centre of the road wheel for optimum traction, reducing any roller/tyre slippage.

As Eribas don't have an externally accessible battery compartment, the standard 12v isolator switch is usually fitted to the bed box panel adjacent to the battery, which is not only inconvenient, but to my mind looks rather agricultural and does nothing for the van's aesthetics. Reich supply an optional remote switch and long cable which can be mounted either just inside the door, or integrated onto an external panel.

Some photos of my installations:

The Pro (second photo) is mounted upside-down on purpose - I sorted the labels out later.

I had a Reich Easy drive Pro 1.8 fitted to my new Troll 542GT in April this year by Midland Movers, who came and fitted it at my property and it was considerably cheaper than the dealer quoted, a great clean job and it works great .Would recommend him without hesitation
Enjoy your new Eriba.

Mighty tidy work...



I replaced the isolator with a suitably beefy relay, and ran the cables from it to a remote illuminated switch just inside the door on the side of the sink unit.

Much, much better.

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.IMG_7468.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Richard from MM informed me 90% of movers are fitted "front" avoids debris kicked up from the tyres !!
Why are 99% Eriba movers "back" fitted, I guess space between step & tyre is prohibitive on certain Eriba models

There is no room on my 535GT to fit them forward of the wheel. I had to fit them behind unfortunately.

Its clear of the damper Roger, have you any experience of an issue ?
