Electric Mover for Jayco Camper Trailer


I have a Jayco Hawk camper trailer and am trying to decide which electric mover to buy.  We have a fairly flat parking area at home but very confined and it is difficult for my wife and I to park it inside our garage.  Also my back is not getting any better!  We travel mainly on sealed roads so road clearance is not a big issue.

I am thinking of getting a PurpleLine Titanium mover.   Does anybody have personal experience with this unit fitted to a Jayco camper trailer. Specifically has anybody had problems with ground clearance?   Also does the unit pick up a lot of dirt, say from road construction work, that affects how it works?

Hi we got one of these
www.ebay.com.au/itm/12V-Electric-Jockey-Wheel-Mover-Caravan-Camper-Trailer-Boat-Parts-Accessories-/122302741655
(not from this seller)
we use it to move our Avan atm 1200 and we have quite a slope
and dogleg at end of drive way it works well for us
the reason I say not from this seller is when I checked they were out of stock
cheers Mark

I have a Jayco 2004 Heritage and Purple Line movers fitted they are great, cost a lot of money fitted to a double axle. (4 units)

When you go to a caravan park and the onlookers that watch but don't help are surprised when I unhook the caravan on the road and use the movers you can see the disappointment in their faces. I do back in if it a good site however if it is tight I use the movers.

I have had 2 heart attacks and cannot move the caravan around and it has made life easy.

Purple Line are a great firm, I needed advice and their got back to me twice with assistance.
