Website Reich Reich is a German company founded in 1975. Apart from producing movers they built all kinds of caravan accessories. Most water taps in a caravan are from market leader Reich. The factory is located in Eschenburg in the German state Hessen, where 150 employees work. In the Netherlands and UK it has affiliates. The Reich movers are largely made and assembled in Germany. Here at CaravanMoverShop we have visited Reich premises in Eschenburg many times, to help them to develop the EasyDriver product range.
Reich EasyDriver
The EasyDrivers are the third generation Reich movers. There are four models, the semi-automatic Basic and Active and the fully-automatic Infinity and Pro. With the Basic and Active you connect the rollers to the tire by means of a pendulum movement. This is lighter than pivoting the claws. The difference between the Basic and the Active is that the Active uses a water-resistant plastic cover. These models have three power varieties for a single-axis caravan. The numbers refer to the maximum weight in tons, the 1.6 (1600 kg), the 2.0 (2000 kg) and the 2.3 (2300 kg). The Reich EasyDriver 2.3 models are the most powerful movers we offer.
Some caravans with a BPW chassis allow the fitting of a Reich Pro BPW with minimal loss of ground clearance. The chassis needs to have a special space to fit the mover. This chassis has been on the market for a few years but is to be found mostly underneath the Hobby caravan model 2017 and onwards. All EasyDrivers use comfort remote control handsets allowing you to steer to the left and right while maneuvering the caravan. The rollers have a good grip on the tires. The weight of the mover itself is approximately 33 kg.
You can use this battery set +/- 35 min. maneuver with the mover.
Reich EasyDriver Basic 1.6
installation dimensions
The Reich EasyDriver Basic 1.6 is for single axle caravans. The electronics are equipped with a soft start and stop function. This makes manoeuvring the caravan gently and has less effect on the chassis. Manoeuvring is done with a remote control. (434 MHz) with push buttons. You can make the caravan turn around the axis.
Technic
The mover has comfort control. This makes it possible to adjust the caravan a little left or right while manoeuvring forwards and backwards.This is a semi-automatic mover. The mover is turned against the tires with a hand crank. The mover slides forward 5,00 cm. The rollers are adjusted about 2 cm from the tire, so the pressure of the roller in the tire is maximum 3,00 cm. The integrated indicator shows whether the mover has been placed correctly against the tires. The mover has a worm wheel transmission that prevents the caravan from rolling back on a slope. The wear-resistant maintenance-friendly aluminium drive rollers have a diameter of 6 cm, which ensures optimum grip on the tires.
The manufacturer recommends this mover for caravans up to 1600 kg. It is important to us that taking a short slope of 20% should not be a problem, so we recommend this mover with our set 2 up to a maximum weight of 1550 kg. The actual weight of the mover itself (measured by us) without battery is approximately 33,00 kg. The mover is relatively low in weight.
The height for the installation is 12,00 cm. The loss of ground clearance after installation with an appropriate chassis is 5,70 cm. The mover needs an installation length of 36,00 cm. The metal parts are galvanized. The drive motor has 2 Motor brushes. The mover was introduced in 2021.

Movers? Quality and reliability make the difference!
Lots of modern caravans have a chassis that doesn’t allow the fitting of just any mover. Therefore it’s important to select the most optimal mover for your caravan. In our advice we take into consideration essential topics like: ground clearance, guarantee and optimal positioning. This is done to ensure maximum durability. We also take into account that the mover should be able to climb a wedge with a 25% upward slope. The choice of which mover, brand and model you would like to use is not only dependent on the price, ease of use and design but also on technical restrictions. Below we will give you more information about movers so that you have a good foundation to make a thoughtful decision.
Modern movers
Caravan movers have been on the market since 1998 . During this time manufacturers acquired a lot of know-how. The modern movers we sell have a built-in brake. So if you forget to disconnect the mover from the wheels and try to drive away, the car and caravan will not move. An important safety feature is that the caravan will also stand still on a pitch or slope. This is achieved by the use of a worm gear or as with Truma XT by means of a built-in brake. Modern movers have more powerful engines so that bigger rollers can be used which have better grip and less wear. By means of an optimized transmission these systems achieve better economy. In recent years we sell modern movers only.
Fully-automatic or semi-automatic
We make a distinction between two types of movers; semi- or fully-automatic. The difference is explained by the way the rollers are brought to the tires. Fully-automatic: just press a button on the remote control handset. Semi-automatic: place the rollers manually on the tires.
Weights and loss of ground clearance
The tables below make comparing the different movers easy. In the first table you see the fully automatic movers, in the second table the semi-automatic. In the tables we state the maximum weight that the caravan, including loading, according to the manufacturer may have, and our personal advice. Our personal advice is based on our experience. We want a mover to be able to drive a 25% chock without overloading and without the electric motor having a hard time audibly. This is to achieve a maximum lifespan. Then the installation height is stated. A standard chassis has a height of 18 cm, a less higher mover only means that there is more empty space above the mover. However, if there is a heating pipe or drain at the place where the mover is to be installed, the installation height is very important. The loss of ground clearance is also very important. In our opinion, the space that remains after mounting the mover should be 15 cm. There is no legal standard for this. All data of course subject to changes and measurement errors.
Semi-automatic mover
There are two variants of semi-automatic movers. Truma and PowrMover use a system with a lever, actually a rod, that needs to be pivoted. While making the turn, the mover is pressed against the tires. This activity requires some force. The easiest way to do this is with the Truma SX mover for it delivers the right pressure on the tires straight away. However, this means that adjustments might need to be made when changing to another set of tires. The second variant is a crank system that brings the mover to the tires by rotating the lever. Just like turning the paw of the caravan. Thanks to the gearing system, rotating the lever doesn’t require much force. When an optimal fitting is possible we prefer to advise a semi-automatic mover.

Full-automatic mover
We distinguish two variants of fully-automatic setup systems. The cheapest ones in the market use a little electrical motor to assist with the rotation. The engine runs until the end of the axle is reached. More expensive movers have a built-in intelligence to ensure the right pressure of the rolls on the tires. Theoretically , fully-automatic movers have a greater chance of malfunctioning but this chance is negligible with movers with an intelligent setup system. The pricing of a mover indicates whether it is an intelligent one. In this brochure we only mention intelligent movers.

Control
Two kinds of controls are distinguished. Standard control and comfort control. Until a few years ago , every mover used standard control. Precise movement of the caravan was only possible by stopping it at intervals. With comfort control it is possible to adjust a bit to the left or right while moving the caravan to its place. The comfort control is used with the AL-KO Mammut, Truma XT, Truma SX, Truma Smart and the Reich Easydriver.
Weight, measuring is knowing
Getting overloaded is a big problem with lots of caravans. The average weight of a mover amounts to 33 kg. Our best sold battery set, set 2 with the Optima 55Ah battery, weighs 20 kg. To save on weight it is common to look only at the battery. However, to really save weight one should look at the actual weight of the mover. Don’t trust too much on advertisements and don’t forget the mounting plates. Caravans with an AL-KO Vario chassis need a mounting plate of 5 kg, except for the AL-KO Mammut. The weight difference between movers can go up to more than 16 kg. If you really want to save on weight, you need to be objectively well-i nformed.
Our concept: complete sets
After you have decided on a mover, the next step is to choose the right battery
become. This battery also includes a battery charger. For this reason we sell complete sets, which also includes battery holders and clamps. We have different battery sets on offer. We have a suitable battery one for every situation, but we recommend our Set 2. Our lithium batteries are interesting for weight savings. All Batteries sold by us can stay in the caravan in winter. The batteries do not smell during charging and can even be placed under the bed.
Fitting of a caravan mover
It is important that you are well informed about which caravan mover is the best choise for your caravan and your use. The purchase of a mover is a major investment and you naturally want to purchase the most optimal mover for your situation and also that the lifespan is as long as possible. It is important for us that we take enough time to advise, so that we can choose the most optimal mover with you.
It is important that the caravan mover is properly mounted. Various issues must be taken into account during assembly. Proper assembly ensures that the mover lasts longer. In addition, we check with every assembly whether the desired mover is the right mover for your caravan. The fitter takes the time to assemble the mover professionally and neatly. It takes approximately 3 - 4 hours for a complete assembly at home. If you opt for installation in one of our branches, you bring the caravan in the morning and pick it up again at the end of the day. After assembly you will receive a detailed explanation and tips from the technician on how to best operate the mover and how to optimally maintain the battery.
We try to place the battery, battery charger and control box in the desired place. We do our best to make the placement of the products as ideal as possible during assembly. We prefer to install the mover in front of the wheels (the drawbar side). If you have very little pressure on the towbar, we can also place the battery in front of the wheels or, if desired, more to the rear if you have too much pressure on the towbar. When mounted in front of the wheels, the mover remains cleaner while driving, behind the wheels there is much more water and dirt on the mover. Sometimes a mover can only be placed behind the wheels, due to limited ground clearance or obstacles for the wheels. We then recommend a mover in which at least the motor of the mover is shielded as optimally as possible by a hood, so that it is not constantly exposed to water in or out of the engine in bad weather.
After the mover is selected it must be fitted. Before starting the installation, our technician will determine the location of the battery and other accessories with you. The fitters have a lot of knowledge and experience and will advise you about where to install the battery, charger and control box. The right placement improves the weight distribution and ease of use. The lifespan of a mover is dependent on the quality of the fitting. During the fitting we will place an impact-resistant, flexible tube around the cabling under the caravan.
Fitting can be done at one of our 4 branches in NL-Groningen, DE-Huefingen and ES-Málaga. We are specialized in fitting on location, for instance at your home or at a campsite. During the installation our mechanic brings along all necessary tools and accessories making sure the quality of fitting is the same as in our workshop. This service is offered in The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, South of Spain and the North of France. The mover will be assembled completely and delivered fully working. After the fitting you will get all the instructions on how to operate the mover. Together with the mechanic you will learn how to maneuver the caravan and get familiar with it, so you can travel with confidence.

Connection on board network (self-supporting)
We can connect our batteries to the board network of your caravan. This connection costs 220,- Euros, materials included. With this connection you can use the 12V lighting, toilet, taps and pumps even if the caravan is not connected to a 230V network. This connection works fully automatically. When the caravan doesn’t get energy from the car, and is not connected to 230V supply, the energy will be delivered by the mover battery instead. We place a fuse between the mover battery and the board network. This automatic switch doesn’t interfere with your car’s electronics. The battery will not be charged during driving. If you want the battery to be charged while driving we advise our complete set 4 or our complete set 12 if you want to save weight.
Specialized in on-site assembly
Good fitting is important for the service life of a mover. We only have the fitting done by our own fitters who assemble movers every day. With every fitting, we follow the manufacturer's specifications and legal DIN standards. To do this, we try to mount the battery, battery charger and controller in your preferred location. We also provide the 230V connection needed for the battery charger. The cables are routed under the caravan in an impact-resistant, flexible tube. Tips for optimal mover operation and detailed instruction are also included in the complete assembly.
Our fitting at your site is convenient. For only 90 euros more comes our own, experienced Fitter to you nationwide and fits the mover on site. We take everything with us. We don't need a platform for fitting, we even recommend the caravan on the ground leave it and mount it there. Because the weight is only then on the tires and then we can Set the optimum distance between the tires and the drive rollers.
Fitting at home, also in the alps
Procedure for making an appointment
To assemble a caravan mover under your caravan, we need your caravan for a whole working day. You can bring and collect the caravan in consultation.
If you want to have a mover assembled or need advice, you can contact us by email or by telephone. You can call the central number, we do not have telephone numbers for the branches. We ensure that the mover and accessories are present at the installation site. A deposit is not necessary, the payment always takes place after installation. Check in advance whether you can withdraw the entire amount; often the limit has to be increased temporarily.
Explanation and payment
After assembly you will receive a detailed explanation of the operation of the mover. In addition, we explain how you can optimally maintain the battery, we also provide an advice sticker for this. You can leave the battery in the caravan for the entire winter if you follow our advice.
You can then make the payment, this can be done by PIN (only at the locations), cash to the engineer or by transfer with iDeal in the presence of the engineer.
Fitting of a CaravanMover
The mover is delivered completely working. This also means that the battery is charged as soon as you connect the caravan to 230V. If necessary, we also install a wall socket for this. The fitter ensures that the mover is delivered professionally and according to the manufacturer's standards and guidelines. He will consult with you about the most suitable location for the battery, battery charger and control cabinet. The cables come in a flexible tube for protection and an electrical outlet is installed if it is not yet present. When picking up your caravan you will receive a complete explanation with tips on how you can best operate the mover. You can then immediately practice briefly while the technician watches. We assemble in compliance with the legal EN1648 installation standard.
The ground clearance is important; we check the ground clearance and ensure that it is optimal after assembly, so that the mover is not damaged if you drive over a threshold.
check ground clearance
We prefer to check this when the caravan is behind the car.
The controlbox, battery and other parts will be installed on an optimal place for you and us.
And this is what it looks like when the mover is mounted, there is more than enough ground clearance to cross a threshold.
Example of a complete installed AL-KO Mammut which has no external control box.
The mover is mounted under the caravan and the cables are concealed in a flexible tube so that they are well protected. These are connected to the control box. The control box gets its energy from the battery. The battery is properly secured with the mounting frame. The battery is charged by the battery charger. This battery charger gets its energy from a 230V socket, which is also mounted by us if it is not yet present.
The water drain of your caravan will be moved if it gets in the way of the mover to be mounted. When mounting behind the wheels it is possible that you will lose the spare wheel holder and you have to store the tire elsewhere. It is also possible that you will no longer be able to use the AL-KO jack support holders, then you should use a normal car jack from now on. All these activities are included in the price of a complete assembly.
The cables that go to the motors of the mover are concealed in a flexible, impact-resistant tube. This tube is screwed with holders under the caravan. The motor cables are fed through the caravan floor, after which the holes are sealed with a flexible sealant.
Mounting at home
Our engineers can also carry out the assembly at your home for a small extra charge. The mechanic takes the mover and all supplies with him in the service car. The mover is mounted in the same way as at one of our workshops. The costs for assembly are the same throughout the country, except for the islands. The installation can also take place at your caravan storage or at any other location.
It is important that the caravan is on a flat surface and that there is at least 1.5 meters of free space (without curb) around the caravan. Furthermore, the fitter must not be in danger due to passing traffic.
We assemble at home in a large part of Europe, prices vary per country.

Which mover?
The choice of a mover is not only dependent on which mover you want, each mover has properties that determine which is the best choice for you and your caravan. The mover must be optimally mounted so that the chance of problems is as small as possible. In theory you can mount almost any mover under every caravan, but unfortunately it is not that simple in practice. It starts with the question whether the mover should be mounted in front of or behind the wheels. If we mount the mover in front of the wheels, you have less ground clearance after mounting than behind the wheels. Behind the wheels, however, the mover is a very expensive mud flap, which is not good for any product. We recommend installing a mover for the wheels, if this is not possible, then only mount a well-protected mover behind the wheels, which also has optimum warranty conditions.
We always ask which caravan you have during a conversation. This way we try to find out which chassis is under your caravan. We know which chassis is the most common of many caravans. Once this has been determined, we must determine which movers are eligible. Part of this information is in the specifications from the manufacturers. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to compare movers with this data. Where the minimum values are stated by one manufacturer, the maximum values are stated by the other manufacturer. We have a lot of practical experience and can give you good and honest advice based on this experience.
It is not always easy to determine which chassis is under a caravan. Many caravans from 2000 to 2007 have a chassis with a height of 18-20 centimeters, the so-called standard chassis. With this chassis you can mount almost any mover without having to use mounting plates. With other years it is not so easy to say which mover can be mounted. The new chassis in particular does not make it easy for consultants and engineers. New caravans also often have less ground clearance. The caravan is then better on the road in terms of driving experience, but a mover with too little ground clearance is asking for problems.
To help you, we have created a handy overview in which you can select your caravan brand and year of manufacture. You will then be given advice about the options for assembly.
The functioning of the mover depends on various factors. The mover must have enough power to move the weight of the caravan. The choice of the battery also determines whether or not the mover functions properly. The battery must have sufficient capacity to supply the large amount of energy that a mover requires. We recommend an Optima battery for this. The energy runs via cabling from the battery to the motors. All connections must be good. If a cable connection is not properly secured, for example due to incorrect tools or improperly pressed sliding plugs, this ensures a higher transition resistance and the current does not reach the motor completely. As a result, the motor of a mover cannot perform optimally, which can even result in skidding rollers on the tire. It is also important that the mover is properly adjusted during assembly. It is important that the roll makes good contact with the tire in width, but also that the horizontal pressure of the roll on the tire is as optimal as possible.
Assemble a mover yourself
A caravan mover is a product prone to malfunction. The product is in fact at the wheels, where a lot of moisture and junk can come on while driving. A mover uses an enormous amount of power, on a straight part it can easily reach 20A, but when loaded this can rise to around 70A with very short-lived peaks of over 300A. The assembly must therefore be done accurately and properly. We place high demands on assembly, this prevents many problems. Based on experiences, we advise you not to mount the mover yourself, but to have it done professionally. The chance of malfunctions decreases significantly. We perform warranty work for the various manufacturers and keep an eye on how the failures occur. Most malfunctions are caused by assembly errors and not by manufacturing errors. Failing to fix a simple cable eye properly enough can result in a defective control box after 3 years. Replacing this costs more money than saving on assembly.
It is always worth bearing in mind that each magazine which tests caravan movers has its own preferences and these preferences, in general, dictate test results. In a 2008 Camping and Caravan Champion test the Reich MoveControl Economy caravan mover achieved a satisfactory score. In a special feature in the German magazine Caravaning in 2008 a test was done with caravan movers from Truma, Reich and PowrMover. This test declared the Reich Economy caravan mover to be the Best Buy. In a test in 2011 in Germany the Reich caravan mover was stated to be one of the best caravan movers. However, in a KCK test in 2012 the Reich caravan mover was used on a heavily overloaded trailer which overloaded the mover’s electric motors.
A caravan is mounted on a chassis. However, it is not always clear which chassis is fitted. A mover can be fitted in front or behind the wheels of a caravan according to the specifications of the manufacturer . A mover stays cleaner when it is mounted in front of the wheels, because of this it will lasts longer. It isn’t always possible to place a mover in an optimal position in front of the wheels. This is dependent on the chassis, the ground clearance and other restrictions, like a lower entry or a heating tube. Also, there needs to be enough space between the shock absorber and the tire. Usually the fitting is done with clamping plates.
After you have chosen the right mover, the next step will be the selection of a battery and charger. Generally a mover provides more power than a small car. All necessary energy is supplied by the battery. If the mover doesn’t get enough energy, sufficient power will be unavailable. There will be more wear and the lifespan of the mover will be shorter. We only sell batteries that we have tested and we are conservative and careful in our advice. In association with ACSI Freelife magazine we’ve tested different batteries with different techniques. The Optima Yellow Top AGM batteries performed well on a track of 90 meters with a gradient of 6%. The Reich MPP achieved the same. All other standard wet, calcium and cheap AGM batteries didn’t reach this distance. This despite the fact that the manufacturer stated that the batteries could deliver 70, 90 or even 110 Ah. Of course we were also interested in the long-term performance of the Optima Yellow Top 55Ah battery. Hence, we tested a 7 years old Optima battery. It drove the distance without any difficulty. So the difference in performance cannot be explained by the capacity of the battery but in the maximum delivery of energy. Most batteries cannot deliver the energy that is needed. We deliberate choose only a few battery brands and types.
Lithium maximum weight saving!
We sell three types of lithium batteries. Manufacturer Reich has the most experience with the MPP, and you will obtain maximum weight saving. Manufacturer PowerXtreme has the best prices. With the X10 you will obtain maximum weight saving. And with the PowerXtreme X30 you save weight and you can use it for a board network connection because it has more capacity.
Optima batteries
Optima is the leading brand of Varta, the biggest battery manufacturer in the world. This battery is particularly suitable for heavy applications. An optima battery is 10 kg lighter and significantly smaller than traditional lead-acid batteries. The battery does not contain any fluids, so even when damaged it remains leak-proof. Also, it can be fitted in any position, even upside down. A battery box is not needed and you don’t need to make a drain. This battery has no problem supplying the energy release requested by the mover, so this makes it an optimal combination with any mover. It will last longer than any standard conventional battery. Our experiences are very positive. We have sold these batteries for more than a decade and have never seen a faulty one, as long as the owners followed our charging advice. Obviously, rare manufacturing errors form an exception to the rule. The technique has been in use for quite a long time now, so early mistakes have been eradicated. We strongly recommend the Optima AGM battery, together with a good charger.
Our best and most sold battery set is set 2, with the Optima Yellow Top S4.2/55 Ah battery. If you follow our charging advice this set is virtually fault-free. The battery weighs 19 kg. With this battery you can use the mover for more than 40 minutes. A minimal energy release is necessary for a mover to function optimally. The Optima battery in our set 2 amply meets this minimal norm. You can also use this battery for lighting. We can connect the battery to the board network of your caravan. Our complete set 1 makes use of the smaller Optima S2,7/38 Ah. This battery only weighs 12 kg and its energy release is less than the other Optima batteries. You have approximately 25 minutes maneuvering time. The biggest advantage of this battery is the saving of weight.
Our complete sets 3 and 4
We advise set 3, with the S5.5/75 Ah Optima battery, to the intensive user. This battery is suitable for situations where you don’t have a 230V connection available for a few days. With our set 4 you have a solution for intense self-supporting use. The set includes a Ctek charger which enables charging during driving and the connection to a solar panel. In addition , the mover gets more than enough energy so this set is suitable for heavier applications.
Complete set 2 Ctek 56-855 Multi XS 5.0 Polar (12 kg)
We recommended this set for intensiv use. You can charge the battery while driving Also optimal for standalone. You can use this battery set +/- 70 min. maneuver with the mover.
PowerXtreme
The PowerXtreme X10 battery is the alternative for the MPP. This battery has a capacity of 10 Ah and allows you to manoeuvre for approximately 14 minutes. The battery weights 2 kg.
The PowerXtreme X30 battery has a capacity of 30 Ah and allows you to maneuver the caravan for approximately 30 minutes. The battery weighs 5 kg. Because of its greater capacity you will be able to use it on the board connection. The higher energy output makes this battery suitable for heavy caravans. Charging whilst driving is possible with an optional charger. This battery came out best in an ANWB comparison test. In our own practice test this battery was the best lithium battery when tested on heavy duty performance. The energy output is comparable with our set 3 and 4 (Optima Yellow Top 75 Ah battery).
You have to register your product for the 5 years warranty from the importer. Otherwise we give you a 2 year warranty.
Complete set 2 PowerXtreme X10 Complete setBluetooth (2 kg)
We recommended this set for intensiv use. Also optimal for standalone. You can use this battery set +/- 400 min. maneuver with the mover.
Victron Peak Power Pack
The Victron Peak Power Pack is available with 8Ah, 20Ah, 30Ah and 40Ah. The 30 and 40Ah are also suitable for heavy caravans. The Peak Power Pack can be charged with the supplied mains adapter, with a solar panel or by the dynamo of a vehicle or boat. The high-power output to which the mover is connected can deliver 150 Ampere continuously and 200 Ampere for a short time. This output switches itself off after 30 minutes. The battery has a separate connection for the on-board network (max. 30A.)
Dongle
Using the VE.Direct to Bluetooth Smart dongle you can display your BMV or MPPT information on iOS and Android devices, using the VictronConnect app. View information wirelessly such as battery status and solar panel power, plus other useful data.
The dongle is able to read data from all products with a VE.Direct port, such as the BMV-70x series battery monitors, Phoenix Inverters with VE.Direct port, MPPT Solar Charge Controllers.
Recommended when need to save on weight. You can charge the battery while driving Also optimal for standalone. You can use this battery set +/- 25 min. maneuver with the mover.
Recommended when need to save on weight. You can charge the battery while driving Also optimal for standalone. You can use this battery set +/- 35 min. maneuver with the mover.
Recommended when need to save on weight. You can charge the battery while driving Also optimal for standalone. You can use this battery set +/- 50 min. maneuver with the mover.
Reich Mobility Power Pack (MPP)
The MPP from Reich only weighs 2 kg. Due to its low weight the capacity is limited. In practice this seems not so relevant for a lot of the caravans, according to the expert’s advice. You can maneuver for about 12 minutes. The MPP can be charged by a 230V connection, or by the built-in charger on the 12V constant current wire or a solar panel. The maximum energy output is the same as set 1 (Optima Yellow Top 38 Ah battery).
There is a warranty of one year on the cells and 2 years on the electronics.
Recommended when need to save on weight. You can charge the battery while driving You can use this battery set +/- 10 min. maneuver with the mover.
Leave your battery in the caravan during winter!
All the batteries that we sell can stay in the caravan during winter. You only need to follow our charging advice. Just charge it to the maximum and immediately disconnect the clamps afterwards. Every set we sell includes our charging advice, so you know how to maintain your battery optimally.
Connection on board network (Self-supporting)
We can connect our batteries to the board network of your caravan. This connection costs 220,- Euro s, materials included. With this connection you can use the 12V lighting, toilet, taps and pumps even if the caravan is not connected to a 230V network.
This connection works fully automatic ally. When the caravan doesn’t get energy from the car, and is not connected to 230V supply, the energy will be delivered by the mover battery instead. We place a fuse between the mover battery and the board network. This automatic switch doesn’t interfere with your car’s electronics. The battery will not be charged during driving. If you want the battery to get charged while driving we advise our complete set 4.
Optima batteries are not without reason the batteries that are best suited for the mover. The technology is mature, there are no children's diseases. We recommend the use of an Optima AGM-battery. Therefore we provide our mover with a CTEK battery charger. These high-quality chargers were originally developed by Optima and are therefore ideal for these (and other) batteries. Through our many years of experience with batteries and battery chargers we are the only webshop, that is allowed to carry the CTEK-Certified-Specialist logo.
Another AGM-battery has a lower quality than an Optima AGM-battery, the benefits apply only to genuine Optima AGM-batteries. Make sure that you buy an original Optima battery. There are many other batteries that look similar. The name yellow top is not protected so any other battery manufacturer can use this name.
The disadvantage of the higher purchase costs of an Optima battery is completely compensated by the advantages compared to conventional batteries in our opinion. Optima batteries are about 10 kg lighter and considerably smaller. The batteries are spillable, as they contain no liquid. The battery can be mounted in any position, even upside down. You don't need a battery leak bin and no battery drain. The Optima battery has a three times longer life than a conventional battery. Also it can be stored for long periods, without being connected to a charger. Hibernate in the caravan is also no problem, if you fully charge the battery and release the battery clamps.
Warranty
