I put "opitec wheel mover" into the search engine and had 6 hits so I'd try that first. Here is one of those 6:

Thanks Denis. I hadn't come across that one before.

I have the version 1 I made some recommendations to the manufacturer that led to version 2, may van has a tow ball weight of 230kg so I needed to get the double clamp bracket to go on the A frame as the single point one supplied by jayco was flexing too much.
I use mine to do a 360 degree turn in my yard and it works well with a supercheap jumpstarter pack.

Thanks Brian

Is using the supercheap jumpstarter pack in place of using the house battery?

Yes I keep it charged and throw up on the A frame when moving saves rewiring the van for 12volts out as my usual 12volt power source is a anderson plug off the tug.
It is normally on charge in the shed for when I need it (only at home to park the van)
