Thanks, I'm in Perth WA. I'm looking at storage as well but would prefer to have it at home if possible

I use a Optitec mover with a single axle caravan about your size. It works with no effort to push up a small incline on pavers. Would have no problem recommending these

Hello BOK056

As Dougwe has already said, welcome to the forum

A neighbour has something similar to the picture Dougwe has put up.

I have not heard any complaints, he has a twin axle caravan.

With the remote control, he can walk around his caravan while he is manoeuvring it

I have no experience with Van Movers, but when I was pondering the same problem with my van I was very close to the option of installing a Pusher Bar on the front of my Patrol.

In the end I just practiced reverse parking. Problem solved.

Pusher bars might not suit modern vehicles though.

I had an Optitec when I had my caravan which was approx 18feet, a tare of 2250kg and an ATM of 2650, dual axle and it moved it with ease.
Thoroughly recommend it.
Cheers,
David.

As you're in Perth have a look at power jockey wheel

The bloke makes them in his factory in Malaga. I wanted to get one powerful enough to get my van up an incline into my back yard without having to buy first. I called them and he offered to bring a test unit with no obligation to see if it would work. It worked and I've had mine for two years now. I use it regularly as my reversing skill is not that great.

A big thanks to all of you for your advice, I now have a few tried and tested options to try out. I'll keep you posted on how I go

Hi Keith
I ended up buying a TUG powerwheel from Barry Kramer in Perth which moves my twin axle 2.3 tonne offroader with no problems. www.powerwheel.com.au/ is his website. Great piece of kit
Recommend it.... I'll post a photo of the space I can manage to get it into..... its literally millimetres on either side
Cheers Brian
