on a twin axle caravan if you can only afford a motor mover for 1 axle  which one does it go on

front or rear ?  im thinking rear as that way its not adding to the nose weight ?

whats your thoughts ?

    We have a Powrtouch twin on our twin axle.  You do have to have a motor mover that does twin axles.  It’s fitted on the front two wheels so it doesn’t cause fouling to the jacking point which is just behind the rear wheels.  It has always worked very well getting in and out of our storage compound and on a tight site pitch, maybe a little more to-ing and fro-ing  than a four wheel mover but that has never caused us any issue.

    My B-I-L has the Truma on his twin axle van. When manoeuvring, it requires quite a bit of shoving, not great.
