Overwhelming response from caravanners questioned regarding motor movers
90 per cent of caravanners own a motor mover and consider them to be an essential piece of caravan kit according to the results of a survey conducted by caravan insurers, CaravanGuard, it has been revealed.
Described as a “lifesaver” and “godsend” by some, just seven per cent of those questioned stated they could live without one, whilst the additional three per cent claimed they were considering getting on in the near future.
Caravanner, Tim Peacock, agreed with the findings, stating: “We already have a small caravan but now find, due to age, we struggle to push the van off and on our driveway. A must for the more mature caravanners.”
Many of those surveyed by CaravanGuard also commented that not only did it take the strain out of parking on a variety of terrains, as well as the stress out of the relationship, it also provided a good source of entertainment.
Fellow caravanner, Ian Manning, said: “It still intrigues onlookers to see it in action. Also seriously reduces wear and tear on car clutch putting it away at home and generally. Marvellous piece of kit!”
Other caravanners also found the mover helps to reduce the strain on the car clutch and would rather invest in motor mover than pay for clutch repairs.
Motor movers are designed to make life that little bit easier and they certainly seem to be doing just that for many caravanners. What about you? Do you own a caravan mover and would you consider leaving home without one?
