For the last 2 years my Carver Truma Motor mover M2 has been intermittent both going forward and backwards.  Battery is relatively new.   I tried changing the main mover switch, replaced the wiring from the battery to the mover controller with thicker wire, put on a better aerial - but it was still intermittent.

I have noticed it is mainly intermittent on the offside wheel (whilst turning the caravan)

I then discovered that the spade terminals on the offside mover motor were corroded.  I cleaned up the spade terminal on the motor with fine wet & dry paper, then degreased them, then replaced the spade terminals on the positive and negative leads.

I am pleased to report the mover now works fine after months of investigation.   I have posted this to help others who may have a similar issue as I could not find this resolution anywhere on the net.
