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.

Preparation
Mounting a mover can be a challenge because there are many differences in the type of chassis. The actual assembly takes most of our customers 4 to 10 hours, and of course also the preparation time. Below you will find a report of an assembly. Always follow the manual. We recommend that you have the mover installed by us in one of our branches or at another location, for example at your home.
After having performed these initial checks, you will get to the real thing. Assembling the mover. The mover is largely supplied pre-assembled. If you remove the parts from the package, you will immediately see how to mount the mover. The two motors are usually already on a short tube, the connecting tube is placed between them. From the motors come cables that are connected to the electronics box. The electronics box is clearly marked. The battery also works with two clear cables.
It is easiest to make the necessary workspace in the caravan. In this report we mounted the mover under a caravan without using a lift bridge. The caravan is tilted to the maximum to create sufficient space for assembly. The installation of a mover can therefore take place at almost any location.

Mechanics
We start with the installation of the motors.
To get good access to the underside of the caravan, turn the nose wheel out as far as possible. Apply the parking brake and place blocks under the front supports.
After you have attached the two mover motors to the chassis with the connecting tube, the mover must be adjusted. First, the mover is adjusted in width; Make sure the mover is clear of the shock absorber and sidewall of the tire. It is best to push the mover against the tires to determine the maximum width of the mover. After you have set the width, you can fix the connecting tube with a few screws. Then the distance from the belt to the rollers must be adjusted. A spacer block is included for this. Slide the mover against this block and then secure the clamping plates. Be careful not to overtighten the bolts. You won't be the first to break a screw or nut because too much force is applied to it. Therefore use a torque wrench to tighten everything.
The installation of the mechanics is very simple in terms of time for most customers.

The fixing of the motors is usually done by first fixing one side and then the other side. Make sure that the shock absorber does not touch the mover:
Then measure the distance with the supplied spacer block and adjust the mover to the correct position and fix it.
Drill 2 24mm holes through the floor for the cables to pass through. Check beforehand that there are no cables or (gas) pipes in the way! There may also be cables through the floor.
Slide the cables in through the holes and connect them to the control box. Secure the flex tube with the supplied clamps and then seal the holes.
Installation electronics
Connecting the electronics properly and neatly hiding the cables takes the most time. A good place for the battery must be chosen. Most batteries must be removed from the caravan during winter storage. Only a few batteries, including the Optima AGM batteries, may remain in the caravan, provided they are 100% charged and disconnected.
The battery is charged by a charger. If your caravan already has a charger, you may be able to connect the battery to it, but be well informed. If there is no 220V connection point at the battery charger, you must realize this. The control box can easily be fixed to a wall or possibly to the bottom of the caravan.
Drill 2 24mm holes through the floor where the cables can be fed. Check beforehand that there are no cables or (gas) pipes in the way!
There may also be cables through the floor. Slide the cables in through the holes and connect them to the control box. Secure the flex tube with the supplied clamps and then seal the holes.
Securing the cables to the electronics is not difficult, but pay attention to the polarity. Check every connection. If you accidentally reversed plus and minus of the motors, the result is only that the mover does exactly the opposite of what you want. If you interchange the plus and minus of the battery, this has very negative consequences for the electronics of the mover.

The mounted mover
Assume that assembling the mover takes a day's work. You can use the mover immediately after installation. It is highly recommended to practice before using the mover in difficult places. The operation is simple, but it is good to check in a spacious place how the mover reacts.
Our advice is to walk circles around the caravan while shunting so that you keep a good overview. The operation of the mover is not complicated and completely safe. When you release the buttons on the remote control, the caravan will stop in a very short time.
