Got around to fitting the mover to my van, biggest problem I had was Originally I was fitting it in the compound where the van is stored, so carpet on the ground and lay on the back with trolley jacks and axle stands at hand.

However it quickly became apparent that I had two major issues, one was the Components were very heavy when trying to work solo and align everything up, the biggest problem was when I got it all in position under the van and offered it up, I discovered the chassis is what is known as a ‘low profile chassis’ so it had insufficient depth in the framework to attach to and ensure the right ground clearance, Whilst maintaining the correct depth from the caravan floor.

After a few days of panicking dilemma I discovered special adapter plates were made to combat this problem, so they were ordered.

On arrival I chose to take the caravan to work and put it over the pit, where with the assistant of a hydraulic jack the job was so simple.

Result is mover fitted and operation exactly how it should.
