I've just bought a new Trigano Silver 380 caravan with pop up roof.  Can anyone suggest a motor mover to fit as the ground clearance is quitel low.  One dealer suggested a powertouch evolution with special fitting plates, and my French dealer that I cought
the caravan from suggested a Reich.

My local dealers do not deal with Reich, so I would have to buy online, and get the mobile fitting service provided...has anyone had experience of these?

Many thanks in advance for your advice.

    I bought a Trigano Silver 310 in 2012, absolutely relying on a motor mover being fitted (our drive is on a  slope). I selected a Powrwheel Compact, which was fitted at the caravan retailer's site. Because of low ground clearance the fitting was more tricky
    than usual, and took the fitter half a day.

    So we have had 4 years experience and so far, fingers crossed, ti has been excellent. Some considerations

    a) I bought a big Leisure battery , probabaly excessive, which adds quite a weight on the towbar 

    b) I have had a problem from time to time with the jockey wheel jamming - you just have to keep a  watchful eye on it.

    c) Activating the system requires a bit of force - my wife isn't keen to try it ...
