Thank you for choosing this caravan mover. This product has been produced according to high
standards and has undergone careful quality control procedures. Simply by using the remote control
you can move your caravan e󰀨ortlessly into any position required within operating guidelines.
Before proceeding with installation and starting to use the mover, please read this manual
very carefully and be aware of all the safety instructions! The owner of the caravan will
always be responsible for correct use. Keep this manual inside your caravan for
future reference.
This User Manual covers the Cara-Move II Mover with Smart Electronics system. The mover system
consists of two 12V motor-powered rollers, a 12V electronic control box and a remote control. To
function, the motor-powered rollers must be engaged against the tyres of your caravan. The remote
control handset enables you to simultaneously engage the rollers of both movers. Once this is done
the mover is ready for operation. The remote control will allow you to move your caravan in any
direction.
The chassis clamps provided with this system are suitable for tting onto most standard caravan
chassis that have an L-shape or U-shape prole (Fig.7). Please refer to Fig.3 for reference on
dimensions and clearances BEFORE you proceed any further with installation. If your chassis has
di󰀨erent dimensions to those shown in Fig.3 then various chassis clamp adapters are available to
suit the majority of UK and Continental caravans; please refer to the section of this manual entitled
‘Optional Fitting Adapters’.

Read this User Manual carefully before installation and use. Failure to comply with these
rules could result in serious injury or damage to property.
Before starting installation of the caravan mover:
DO check that the caravan is disconnected from the battery supply and the mains electrical supply.
DO only use adapters and accessories that are supplied or recommended by the manufacturer.
DO check that the tyres are not over worn (tting to new or nearly new tyres is the best option).
DO make sure that the tyre-pressures are correct to the manufacturer’s recommendation.
DO make sure the chassis is in good condition without any damage and is free from rust, dirt etc.
DO stop work immediately if you are in doubt about the assembly or any procedures and consult one
of our engineers.
DO locate the battery isolation switch to be accessible at all times when parking and moving the
caravan.
DO NOT remove, change or alter any parts of the chassis, axle, suspension or brake mechanism.
DO NOT operate the unit if you are under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication that could
impair your ability to use the equipment safely.
These instructions are for general guidance. Installation procedures may vary depending on
caravan type.
Use appropriate support! Working under a vehicle without appropriate support is extremely
dangerous. If you are tting the mover system yourself, it is advisable that the installation is
conducted by two people, as the mover will need to be raised up to the bottom of the
caravan’s chassis before the clamps can be installed.
Remember to complete the product registration form with the serial numbers of each motor
assembly prior to tting (see details within the Guarantee section of this manual).

Installation - Mechanical Components
To begin mechanical installation, ensure that your caravan is placed on a hard, level surface. Where
possible the use of a lifting ramp or an assembly pit is ideal for access and personal safety.
Make sure your caravan is prepared for installation. Clean the relevant mounting areas of your chassis
to ensure a secure tting of the mover system. Check before installation that important areas, such
as drains, spare tyres etc. do not cause any obstruction to the installation of the mover system and its
intended functionality.
Unpack all of the components and check that all parts are present (see Package Contents Fig.A). The
installation instructions will continue to reference the part numbers displayed in Fig.A. Prior to and
throughout the installation, ensure that the movers remain in the DISENGAGED position (see Fig.4),
as the unit will not t correctly otherwise.
Loosely assemble motor framework side (1), motor framework side (2) and main cross bar (3) (see
Fig.1). The nuts (Fig.1.A) for cross bar xing must be no more than nger-tight at this stage.
Place the assembly (Fig.1) loosely under the caravan. In principle, the unit should be tted in front of
the caravan road wheels, but if tting in this position is not possible, it is permissible to t it to the rear
of the wheels by rotating the whole assembly by 180° degrees (note: in this scenario, later refer to
Fig.15 for rear axle wiring schematic). Ensure that the Main Cross Bar (3) is positioned in the centre of
the caravan/mover assembly (the centre is marked). Adjust the assembly so that the mover rollers are
in line with the tyres, this can be adjusted slightly again later.
Study Fig.9. On one side of the vehicle, elevate the framework assembly and loosely t the clamping
assembly to the framework and chassis as per Fig.10. Provided clamp xings (7,16,17,18) must be no
more than nger-tight at this stage. Once self supported via the loose xings, proceed to repeat the
process on the other side of the vehicle.
Take due care when elevating and xing the framework and clamps. Use lifting aids and/or a
second persons when lifting/tting.
With the main assembly loosely tted onto the chassis, slide the whole assembly along the chassis
until the rollers (Fig.2.A) are 20mm away from the surface of the each tyre (see Fig.4). Two 20mm
spacers (30) are provided to set this distance. Note that the movers should be in the disengaged
position when the 20mm spacing is set. When setting the spacing, ensure that the rollers on both
movers are centrally in line with the vehicle tyres both horizontally and vertically, to allow for the best
possible wheel contact (see Fig.6 for reference). If the roller widths exceed that of the tyre, ensure that
the end of the roller is aligned with the outer wall of the tyre. Overhang on the inside wall of the tyre is
acceptable on thinner tyres, and should not drastically a󰀨ect function or grip.
It is vitally important that each roller is at exactly the same distance away from the tyre. The
whole assembly must be parallel to the caravan/trailer axle for the system to operate as
intended.

Installation - Electrical/Electronic Components
Once satised with mover spacing, fully tighten the four nyloc nuts (17) on both clamping assemblies
(Fig.9) to a torque setting of 40 ft lbs/55Nm, then the bolts (Fig.1A) on each motor side framework to
a torque setting of 9ft lbs/12Nm. Re-check the distance of 20mm from the rollers to the tyres and if
necessary, loosen the bolts and re-adjust the position of the assembly. Once satised with the position
of the assembly, t and tighten the Chassis Stop Nuts & Bolts (7) in each of the Classic Clamp Upper
Plates (8) (see Fig.9). Tighten to a torque setting of 40 ft lbs/55Nm. The Stop Bolts grip the lip of the
chassis and help prevent the mover from sliding along the chassis.
The main mechanical components have now been installed.
Before attempting any electrical work, be sure to isolate the 12V supply from the battery and
ensure any 230V electricity supply is disconnected.
Find a suitable place to mount the Electronic Control Unit (4), such as a storage area, under a seat or
a bed. Make sure this place is dry and close to the battery (30 cm to 60 cm). A󰀩x the supplied antenna
(35) to the rear screw thread at the rear of the electronic control box prior to mounting. The unit can
then be mounted on a at base (horizontal) or on a wall (vertical). When choosing location, ensure
that the unit cannot easily be damaged. Fix the Electronic Control Unit (4) into position with four of
the screws provided (19). If the length of these screws is not suitable for the desired location/material,
please substitute as appropriate.
Drill a a 25mm hole through the oor of the caravan approximately 150mm centrally in front of the
control unit (4) terminals.
Take care to avoid any chassis members, gas pipes and electrical wires when drilling the
required holes and xing components to your vehicle.
Study Fig.13. The wiring diagram (Fig.13) depicts the wiring route when installing the motor units in
FRONT of the wheels/axle, facing the rear of the trailer. Fig.14 displays the polarity of the terminals on
the movers. Note that these locations remain the same regardless of whether the motor is the left or
right side mover.
To install an All Wheel Drive conguration on your caravan, follow the same instructions outlined in the
previous section: ‘Installation - Mechanical Components’. AWD set up follows the exact same process,
with the only di󰀨erence being the orientation of the movers. In an AWD conguration, the movers
powering the rear axle of the vehicle must be orientated facing the front of the trailer (see Fig.8).
Ensure to follow the Electrical/Electronic AWD conguration section closely to ensure that these motor
assemblies work as intended and not against one another.

Installation - Electrical/Electronic Components cont.
The Power Isolation Switch (29) will now need to be installed. If available, the ideal location for the
isolator switch is inside the battery compartment; usually there is a space to the side of the battery.
The chosen location needs to be one that will mean the Isolation switch is easily accessible in the
event that the system needs to be switched o󰀨 in an emergency. Nuts and bolts are provided to mount
the switch but please substitute as necessary if they are not of a suitable type.
Install the Isolation Switch (29) between the battery and the Control Unit (Fig.13) on the positive
[+] cable (14), using two of the 6mm Terminal Ring Connectors (23) to link the cable to the switch
terminals. These connectors will require crimping to the end of the wires. Ensure to leave su󰀩cient
wire length to reach from the battery to isolation switch and from isolation switch to electronics box.
On the positive cable between the isolation switch and electronic control box, the fuse will also need
installing. To do this, mount the 120A fuse (32) into the In-line Fuse case (31). Cut the positive [+]
cable where necessary and again crimp 6mm Terminal Ring Connectors (23) to either end to allow
mounting to the fuse. The fuse case (31) can be screwed to a wall or oor in the same way as the
electronics control unit.
With the supplied battery wires (14,15), proceed to wire the battery to the electronics box, via the
previously installed isolation switch and fuse, as outlined in the wiring diagram (Fig.13). 6mm Terminal
Ring Connectors are already attached to the battery wires for connection to the electronics box, whilst
two sizes of ring connectors (22,23) are supplied for connection to the battery itself.
Caution! Do not attempt to amend wiring that is connected to the battery and live. Always
ensure that wires are disconnected from power when being worked on.
Caution! Ensure not to reverse the positive and negative battery connections. Incorrect
connection (reverse polarity) will result in damage to the control box.
The motor wires (12,13) now need connecting to the system. Again using Fig.13 for reference,
proceed to route the motor wires (12,13) through the hole previously drilled in the vehicle oor and
along the underside of vehicle toward the designated motors. Supplied are various components which
will aid with the safe xing of these wires, including: Convoluted Cable trunking (11) - to protect the
wires from sharp edges, P-clips/screws (19,20,21) - for mounting the wires to surfaces, and Cable
Ties (27) - to x wires together or to sections of the chassis where necessary. Cable Number (25)
and Polarity (26) markers are also supplied to aid with labelling of wires for ease of installation. When
routing the wires, aim to keep these as central along the caravan as possible in attempts to keep the
wiring the same length.
As with the battery wires, when satised with the routing, proceed to crimp the provided 4mm terminal
ring connectors (24) onto the ends of the wires for connection to the electronics box. The spade
connectors for attaching to the motors are already xed to the end of the motor wires (12,13).
NOTE: Depending on regulatory requirements, which vary depending on your location, it may be
necessary to install heavier gauge cabling between the battery, isolation switch, fuse and control unit
when installing a four motor system. Please consult your dealer for further details if necessary.
Once all wires are correctly attached as per Fig.13, the electrical installation is complete.

Installation - Electrical/Electronic Components (AWD Conguration)
Operation - Safety Guidelines
To install an All Wheel Drive conguration on your caravan, two separate electronics systems
e󰀨ectively need assembling. These two systems will be congured using the handset prior to initial
use, however during installation there are only a few elements which need to be altered.
Start by wiring up your second mover system by following the same procedures stated in the previous
section ‘Installation - Electrical/Electronic Components’. Fig.15 displays the wiring schematic for this
rear axle set up. Fig.16 can also be used for a general overview of how the twin axle wiring should be
set up. Follow these diagrams closely to ensure that the movers are powered as intended and do not
work against one another in operation.
Regarding the battery wires (14,15), the same isolation key can be used for both systems. To do
this, connect the second electronics box using a length of wire from the isolation key to the box itself.
There should be only a single positive battery wire connected to the battery itself, with two cables
then splitting to the respective boxes via in-line fuses from the isolation switch onward. Use Fig.16 for
reference.
To nalise the electrical set up, attach the Data Cable (33) between the two electronic control units (4).
Ensure this is rmly in place.
Follow the ‘Operation - Handset Pairing’ section of this manual closely for instructions on how to set up
your remote control to correctly operate the AWD system.
Caution! Please read these safety guidelines closely BEFORE to attempting to operate your
caravan mover system.
DO always check movers for any damage, before use.
DO remain aware, at all times, that ground clearance is reduced by around 50mm where the Movers
have been tted.
DO keep a maximum 5 meter distance between handset and electronics box when in use, to maintain
signal strength.
DO be aware that the mover increases your caravan or trailer weight. So this reduces the payload of
the caravan.
DO always make sure that the rollers are fully disengaged from the tyres when the mover is not in use.
This is better for the tyres and for the mover.
DO always make sure that the rollers are fully disengaged before towing/moving the caravan by
vehicle or manpower. If not damage can be caused to your tyres, mover and the towing vehicle.
DO always make sure that after you have nished using the Mover, the Battery Power Isolation Switch
(29) is switched o󰀨, with the key removed and stored in a safe place, out of reach of children or
unauthorised people.
DO always make sure that the remote control handset (5) is stored in a safe place, out of reach of
children or unauthorised people.

DO always apply the handbrake after manoeuvring, before disengaging the drive rollers from the tyres.
DO NOT rely on the mover to act as a brake.
DO NOT exceed the stated maximum Safe Working Load (SWL).
DO NOT attempt to move or tow your vehicle with the motor movers engaged on the wheels.
DO NOT make any modications on the caravan mover (mechanical or electronically). This can be
very dangerous! No warranty claim will be accepted and we cannot guarantee the function of the
mover if any modications are made. Reimo Reisemobil-Center GmbH are not liable for any damage
whatsoever caused as a result of incorrect installation, operation or modication.
Always ensure that you are close enough to engage the caravan’s handbrake, particularly
when manoeuvring on uneven terrain and gradients/slopes, in case of mechanical failure.
Do not use the mover as a brake, when you have nished manoeuvring always engage the
caravan’s handbrake.
Warning! Ensure that there are no persons or obstructions in the vicinity of the caravan prior
to use.
If in doubt regarding any feature of the mover system and its operation, contact your mover
dealer.
