I am seeking reviews from anyone who has purchased this Caravan Mover. I notice on their website that they have upgraded and now have a new model called V2. I see 2 posts on the mover with one being negative and the other being positive. My van is a 21'6" Regal with a Tare of 2160kg, GTM of 2370kg and a ATM of 2660. Whilst I can back a van confidently I have a very very narrow parking spot in my driveway which is hard to manouvre into being on my own. Hence the idea of purchasing this mover.

I don't have one so this is second hand info but I have been told a couple of times from people with one that they are good on solid flat ground. Once you get onto soft gravel or grass or up a slope they don't want to play.
I have used and seen a "Camper Trolley" in action and worked well but not sure on grass or gravel. They are the ones that look like a mini caterpillar earth mover.

I recently purchased one of these www.campertrolley.com.au (the smaller one). Read lots of reviews on van movers & settled for this one.
Cost a small fortune but was cheaper than doing some concreting that I would have to do to either back my van in by car or push and manoeuvre it in with the help of half the neighbourhood. In both instances risk hitting the house. Even went across some very soggy grass (the mover, not the van). The place I bought it at said they don't sell than many to private customers but lots to factories (e.g. move water tanks about in tight places).

We have one of these caravan movers and it does the job perfectly. We have a single axle 1950 kg tare caravan and the optitec moves it up and down a small incline on pavers and through a gate with not a lot of room each side. When the mover had a fault earlier in the year the supplier paid the freight both ways to fix the problem.
