Fitting of a caravan mover

It is important that you are well informed about which caravan mover is the best choise for your caravan and your use. The purchase of a mover is a major investment and you naturally want to purchase the most optimal mover for your situation and also that the lifespan is as long as possible. It is important for us that we take enough time to advise, so that we can choose the most optimal mover with you.

It is important that the caravan mover is properly mounted. Various issues must be taken into account during assembly. Proper assembly ensures that the mover lasts longer. In addition, we check with every assembly whether the desired mover is the right mover for your caravan. The fitter takes the time to assemble the mover professionally and neatly. It takes approximately 3 - 4 hours for a complete assembly at home. If you opt for installation in one of our branches, you bring the caravan in the morning and pick it up again at the end of the day. After assembly you will receive a detailed explanation and tips from the technician on how to best operate the mover and how to optimally maintain the battery.

We try to place the battery, battery charger and control box in the desired place. We do our best to make the placement of the products as ideal as possible during assembly. We prefer to install the mover in front of the wheels (the drawbar side). If you have very little pressure on the towbar, we can also place the battery in front of the wheels or, if desired, more to the rear if you have too much pressure on the towbar. When mounted in front of the wheels, the mover remains cleaner while driving, behind the wheels there is much more water and dirt on the mover. Sometimes a mover can only be placed behind the wheels, due to limited ground clearance or obstacles for the wheels. We then recommend a mover in which at least the motor of the mover is shielded as optimally as possible by a hood, so that it is not constantly exposed to water in or out of the engine in bad weather.

After the mover is selected it must be fitted. Before starting the installation, our technician will determine the location of the battery and other accessories with you. The fitters have a lot of knowledge and experience and will advise you about where to install the battery, charger and control box. The right placement improves the weight distribution and ease of use. The lifespan of a mover is dependent on the quality of the fitting. During the fitting we will place an impact-resistant, flexible tube around the cabling under the caravan.

Connection on board network (self-supporting)

We can connect our batteries to the board network of your caravan. This connection costs 220,- Euros, materials included. With this connection you can use the 12V lighting, toilet, taps and pumps even if the caravan is not connected to a 230V network. This connection works fully automatically. When the caravan doesn’t get energy from the car, and is not connected to 230V supply, the energy will be delivered by the mover battery instead. We place a fuse between the mover battery and the board network. This automatic switch doesn’t interfere with your car’s electronics. The battery will not be charged during driving. If you want the battery to be charged while driving we advise our complete set 4 or our complete set 12 if you want to save weight.

Specialized in on-site assembly

Good fitting is important for the service life of a mover. We only have the fitting done by our own fitters who assemble movers every day. With every fitting, we follow the manufacturer's specifications and legal DIN standards. To do this, we try to mount the battery, battery charger and controller in your preferred location. We also provide the 230V connection needed for the battery charger. The cables are routed under the caravan in an impact-resistant, flexible tube. Tips for optimal mover operation and detailed instruction are also included in the complete assembly.

Our fitting at your site is convenient. For only 90 euros more comes our own, experienced Fitter to you nationwide and fits the mover on site. We take everything with us. We don't need a platform for fitting, we even recommend the caravan on the ground leave it and mount it there. Because the weight is only then on the tires and then we can Set the optimum distance between the tires and the drive rollers.


Fitting at home, also in the alps

Procedure for making an appointment

To assemble a caravan mover under your caravan, we need your caravan for a whole working day. You can bring and collect the caravan in consultation.

If you want to have a mover assembled or need advice, you can contact us by email or by telephone. You can call the central number, we do not have telephone numbers for the branches. We ensure that the mover and accessories are present at the installation site. A deposit is not necessary, the payment always takes place after installation. Check in advance whether you can withdraw the entire amount; often the limit has to be increased temporarily.

Explanation and payment

After assembly you will receive a detailed explanation of the operation of the mover. In addition, we explain how you can optimally maintain the battery, we also provide an advice sticker for this. You can leave the battery in the caravan for the entire winter if you follow our advice.

You can then make the payment, this can be done by PIN (only at the locations), cash to the engineer or by transfer with iDeal in the presence of the engineer.

Fitting of a CaravanMover

The mover is delivered completely working. This also means that the battery is charged as soon as you connect the caravan to 230V. If necessary, we also install a wall socket for this. The fitter ensures that the mover is delivered professionally and according to the manufacturer's standards and guidelines. He will consult with you about the most suitable location for the battery, battery charger and control cabinet. The cables come in a flexible tube for protection and an electrical outlet is installed if it is not yet present. When picking up your caravan you will receive a complete explanation with tips on how you can best operate the mover. You can then immediately practice briefly while the technician watches. We assemble in compliance with the legal EN1648 installation standard.

The ground clearance is important; we check the ground clearance and ensure that it is optimal after assembly, so that the mover is not damaged if you drive over a threshold.

check ground clearance

We prefer to check this when the caravan is behind the car.

The controlbox, battery and other parts will be installed on an optimal place for you and us.

And this is what it looks like when the mover is mounted, there is more than enough ground clearance to cross a threshold.

Example of a complete installed AL-KO Mammut which has no external control box.

The mover is mounted under the caravan and the cables are concealed in a flexible tube so that they are well protected. These are connected to the control box. The control box gets its energy from the battery. The battery is properly secured with the mounting frame. The battery is charged by the battery charger. This battery charger gets its energy from a 230V socket, which is also mounted by us if it is not yet present.

The water drain of your caravan will be moved if it gets in the way of the mover to be mounted. When mounting behind the wheels it is possible that you will lose the spare wheel holder and you have to store the tire elsewhere. It is also possible that you will no longer be able to use the AL-KO jack support holders, then you should use a normal car jack from now on. All these activities are included in the price of a complete assembly.

The cables that go to the motors of the mover are concealed in a flexible, impact-resistant tube. This tube is screwed with holders under the caravan. The motor cables are fed through the caravan floor, after which the holes are sealed with a flexible sealant.
