Motor Movers Maintenance: Ensuring Longevity and Reliability

Having a motor mover on your caravan can make a big difference in terms of convenience and how easy it is to manoeuvre. Motor movers, also referred to as robot trolleys or trailer movers, are important devices that enable you to move your caravan with ease. To make sure your motor mover is working at its best and to extend its lifetime, it is essential to properly maintain it. 

Let's take a look at some useful tips and techniques for looking after your caravan motor mover.

Routine Inspection

The first step in maintaining your motor mover is to regularly inspect it visually. Look for any visible damage, loose connections, or components that are worn-out. By doing this, you can catch potential issues early on and prevent them from becoming bigger problems. 

Cleaning

The belts of your motor mover can accumulate dirt, grass, and grime, which can affect its performance. It is important to clean your motor mover regularly using a small amount of clean water and a brush or cloth. Avoid using soap or other cleaning agents, as well as high-pressure cleaners.

Storage

When your motor mover is not in use, make sure to put it safely away in your transport box or bag provided. Keep your motor mover in a dry and frost-free environment. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or at high temperatures, as this can lead to fast battery depletion.

Inactivity

In order to keep your motor mover in good health, it's important to use it regularly. We recommend operating the trolley and then charging the battery until the light on your charger shows green,  at least once every two months. This regular usage is essential for maintaining the battery's condition, ensuring it stays in good shape and is always ready to be used when necessary.

Repair

If you notice signs of damage or other issues affecting your motor mover, make sure to contact your local dealer for repair.

By adopting these maintenance methods, you'll not only be looking after your motor mover; you're fostering the ongoing joy of your caravanning adventures. Your motor mover will exhibit dependability and great performance, guaranteeing that each trip is seamless, effortless, and brimming with treasured moments.
