Hello and help

Hi we have been looking through the site for some time and now in the process of exchanging my Go-pod for a new Triton 430GT.
This is with Red Lion who sold us the Go-Pod. They agreed to fit a motor mover but now tell me they can't source the special brackets? Tried Midland motor movers now shut untill 23rd August. I need the motor mover due to gravel drive so not keen to go ahead if this is an UK wide issue. Does anyone know about this problem?

Alan, Gill,
Red Lion are my local dealer. When they took on the Eriba franchise I asked them about the movers they would fit. Reich are the default option and the brackets for these are available. I have the Easidriver Basic 1.8. They told me they wanted to continue with the Powertouch? movers they fitted to the GoPods. They said this was not going to be a problem as they had somebody make the brackets needed for the GoPods and they would be able to do the same for the Eriba.
I would contact them if I was you and remind them of this fact. Forum members at the time were made aware and it would be ashame if they could not supply what they said they would.

Here we go, June 17th 2020, look abut 3/4 down A New Eriba Caravan Dealer?
"Extras can also be added to his advance orders and I suggested the electric heating element. I mentioned how some like hot water, alloys, spare, silver or white ouside but with stoneguard and most now go for a mover. The preferred mover for them is Powertouch as they have special brackets made so these fit the GoPod. Again prices look good on these."

I'm sure I read recently somewhere that a dealer who fits Powertouch to Tourings used Reich brackets. I think it was someone deciding whether to have a Reich or a Powertouch mover fitted by ALV Tebay. I've certainly heard that there are supply delays on Reich movers, so there might be similar delays on their brackets too. Maybe Red Lions optimism about the Go Pod brackets fitting proved misplaced.

Hi Alan, can't help with the bracket situation but we also inherited a house with tons of gravel in the front drive which we hope to address soon. The standard single jockey wheel just dug into the gravel and was a nightmare until we heard about the Reich Easy Wheel Double Jockey Wheel upgrade kit which has made a lot of difference. One small issue with it is when lifted for towing the jockey clamp handle is fouled so I take one of the wheels off which is done in seconds. Hope this may help you.

Thanks for the feedback everyone still talking to Red Lion but Dom Fox has the brackets but did say there is a shortage at the moment not sure if that's Covid or Brexit related. Thanks also for the suggestion of the replacement jockey wheel I will have to look into that.
