Truma Auto Motor Movers

I am new to this and will be picking up my new Bailey Pursuit caravan at the end of May, I have had it fitted with Truma Auto Motor Movers and my question is, although my drive is perfectly flat the road outside is on a slight incline.  The access would
be with car facing up hill, caravan across drive entrance.  If I unhitch caravan from my car, providing I have engaged the auto movers, will they hold the caravan in place when I release the caravans hand brake?

In a word YES.

Thanks for your speedy reply.  I can put that one to rest now lol Already asked the question paint on or off on the tow ball so I dont need
to ask that one.  Thanks again

If you are unsure for the first time, put a couple of chocks about six or nine inches away from the wheels. If it does roll then it will roll into your carefully positioned chocks. Belt and braces and all that.

 Man after my own heart, belt and braces favourite saying of my wife.  For some reason I hadnt even thought about that - I do have a pair
of decent chocks.  Thats what I will do just to make sure.  Thanks for your reply

Just chock your offside wheel then, if it is does roll a bit, it will slew towards your drive ready for you to go forward with the mover.

It's nigh-on impossible to move the caravan with the mover engaged (I know, I tried to pull away with it on once
) so you should be fine.

I often engage the mover before un-hitching, even when it looks fairly flat, to prevent the caravan rolling forward into the car.

We have exactly this mover AND a really sloping drive. Once the mover's engaged, that van isn't ging anywhere unless we press the remote!
