Safety instructions
– Practice operating the Caravan Mover® in
an open area before using for the first time.
This is to fully familiarise yourself with
the remote control / Caravan Mover®
operation.
– Always check tyres and drive rollers before
using the equipment; remove sharp-edged
stones and the like if necessary.
– The side slide switch on the remote control
(ON / OFF) also serves as an “Emergency
Stop switch”. Switch the side slide switch to
“OFF” immediately in the event of any ab-
normalities, e. g. uncontrolled behaviour of
the manoeuvring system.
– No person must be present in the caravan
during operation.
– There must be no persons (particularly
children) inside the turning and movement
range (manoeuvring range) of the mobile
home.
– When engaging and disengaging and while
operating the Caravan Mover® care must
be taken to ensure that no hair, parts of the
body, clothing or other parts on the body can
become caught in moving and / or rotating
parts (such as drive rollers).
– The distance between the radio remote con-
trol and the centre of the caravan when ma-
noeuvring must not exceed 10 m!
– In the event of malfunctions pull on the
handbrake.
– To prevent the caravan from tipping, direct
the tow coupling downhill when manoeuver-
ing down a slope.
– After manoeuvring, always apply the
handbrake first, disengage the drive
rollers from the tyres and block the
wheels (particularly on downwards-slop-
ing surfaces). The Caravan Mover® is not
suitable for use as a parking brake for a
parked caravan.
– Ensure that the remote radio control is pro-
tected from unauthorised access (particularly
by children!).
– Never tow the caravan with the drive rollers
applied. This can cause damage to the tyres,
the towing vehicle and the drive units.
– All wheels and tyres on the caravan must be
of the same size and design.

3
– In order to ensure that the Caravan Mover®
operates correctly, the distance between the
tyres and the disengaged drive rollers must
be 20 mm. All tyres must have the same
inflation pressure as per the manufacturer’s
instructions (check at regular intervals!). If
tyres are worn or new tyres are fitted, the
distance between the drive rollers and the
tyres may need to be readjusted (see “Instal-
lation of the drive units”).
– Do not use the Caravan Mover® as a support
when jacking up the caravan, since this may
damage the drive unit.
– Sensitive objects such as cameras, DVD
players etc. must not be kept in the stowage
box near the control unit or the motor cable.
They can be damaged by the electromag-
netic fields.
– The weight of the Caravan Mover® is ad-
ditional to the empty weight of the vehicle,
which reduces the payload of the vehicle.
– When engaging, ensure that there are no ob-
jects (e.g. stones, blocks of ice) between the
drive motor and the motor frame.
General instructions
The Caravan Mover® was developed to over-
come gradients of up to 13 % for a total weight
of 2000 kg on suitable ground.
Depending on the weight of the caravan, the
Caravan Mover® cannot overcome obstruc-
tions that are more than about 2 cm in height
without assistance (please use wedges as a
ramp).
Due to the nature of a radio signal, it can be
interfered with by external terrain or objects.
This means that there may be small areas
around the caravan with reduced reception
quality, in which case the Caravan Mover®
may briefly stop.
When the Caravan Mover® is switched off
using the remote control, the control unit
remains in standby. In order to switch off com-
pletely the battery must be disconnected or
an isolating switch installed.
Batteries
We recommend the Truma Mover® PowerSet which contains
batteries with round cell technology and a matching charger
to ensure optimum operation. Drive, lighting and gel batteries
with adequate capacities are also suitable.
Recommended battery capacities
Round cell technology min. 55 Ah
Gel / AGM min. 70 Ah
Lead-acid battery (liquid electrolyte) min. 80 Ah
Starter batteries are not suitable
Batteries with a greater capacity allow longer operation.
Charger
For optimum battery charging we recommend the Truma BC10
charger, which is suitable for all battery types up to 200Ah.
Battery care (also maintenance-free batteries)
The following points should be observed to extend the
battery life:
– Batteries should be fully charged before and after they have
been used.
– Disconnect from the power circuit in the case of longer
standstills (e.g. with a circuit breaker or by disconnecting
the battery terminal).
– In the case of longer standstill periods, the battery must be
disconnected and charged for 24 hours every 12 weeks at
the latest.
Store fully charged batteries in a cool but frost-free place
during the winter and recharge at regular intervals (every
12 weeks).
Function description
Always observe the operating instructions and “Safety
instructions” prior to starting! The vehicle owner is re-
sponsible for correct operation of the appliance.
Note that the Caravan Mover is only suitable for
singleaxle caravans.
The Caravan Mover® is a manoeuvring system with which a
caravan can be moved without the assistance of a towing
vehicle.
It consists of two separate drive units, each of which has a
12 Volt DC motor. These units are attached to the frame of the
vehicle near the wheels and are connected by lateral bars.
Once the drive rollers have been engaged onto the tyres using
the provided lever, the Caravan Mover® is ready for operation.
All operation takes place using the remote control, which
transmits radio signals to the control unit. A separate 12 V
lead-acid battery or suitable lead-gel battery (not included in
scope of delivery) supplies the control unit with current.

The remote control automatically switches itself off after ap-
prox. 2 minutes if no button is pressed, or after 7 minutes if
one of the movement buttons is held down. The green LED
goes off.
To reactivate the remote control, move slide switch to “Off” 
and then back to “On” ❙after approximately 1 second.
There is no “On / Off” switch on the caravan to be operated.
Remote control LED flash codes and acoustic
signal
LED “On” and no acoustic signal
System is ready for operation
LED “Off” and no acoustic signal
System off (check remote control batteries if necessary)
LED “flashes” in combination with acoustic signal:
– for approx. 5 seconds after switching the remote control on,
until the system is ready for operation.
– for approx. 10 seconds after switching the remote control
on, then it is switched off again – unable to establish radio
link to controller.
– every 3 seconds if the caravan battery has a low charge
(finish manoeuvring as quickly as possible and charge
battery).
– 5 times a second (5 Hz) if the caravan battery voltage is low.
No manoeuvring is possible until the battery voltage is above
11 V again (e.g. by means of recovery / battery charging).
– approx. 2 times per second with overcurrent / overtempera-
ture (2 Hz). Switch remote control off and on again (wait for
cooling down if necessary in the event of overtemperature).
Changing the batteries in the remote control
Please be sure to use leak-proof micro-
batteries only, type LR 03, AAA, AM 4,
MN 2400 (1.5 V).
When fitting new batteries it must be
ensured that the polarity is correct!
Dead and used batteries may leak
and damage the remote control!
Remove the batteries if the remote control
is not going to be used for an extended period.
Fig. 2
No claims under guarantee will be considered for
damage caused by leaking batteries.
Before throwing away a defective remote control, it is essen-
tial that the batteries are removed and disposed of in a proper
manner.
Manoeuvring the caravan
Please read the “Safety instructions” before using
the Caravan Mover®!
With the caravan uncoupled (apply handbrake), engage the
drive rollers to the tyres using the provided lever. Swivel the
lever as far as it will go without using excessive force. The
drive unit securely engages in the end position.
Before operating the Caravan Mover®, release the
handbrake.
Move slide switch (a) on remote control to the “On” ❙position
– green LED flashes for 5 seconds in combination with the
acoustic alarm until the control unit is ready for operation.
The six direction buttons provide movement in six directions
–forward, reverse, left forward, left reverse, right forward,
right reverse.
The “left forward” (e) and “right reverse” (f) or “right forward”(d)
and “left reverse” (g) buttons can also be pressed simultaneously
in order to turn the caravan in a circle on the spot without mov-
ing it forwards.
The soft start / stop facility means that the caravan starts
without jerking and is gently braked when stopping.
If the buttons are released or the radio signal is interfered
with or becomes too weak, the caravan stops. Your
Caravan Mover® cannot be activated by radio devices or other
Mover® remote controls.
After starting up, the Caravan Mover® moves at a uniform
speed. The speed will increase slightly when going downhill
and decrease slightly when going uphill.
Move slide switch on remote control to the “Off” position
to switch the remote control and the Caravan Mover® off.
The slide switch also acts as an “Emergency stop”
switch.
After manoeuvring, first apply the handbrake and then dis-
engage the drive rollers away from the tyres.

Coupling to a towing vehicle
It is possible to position the caravan’s coupling to a stationary
car tow ball using the Caravan Mover®, but take some care.
Use the instructions above as your guide. Use the button con-
trols to move the caravan to the car (car handbrake “ON”, and
car in gear). Use a button stabbing technique to position the
coupling exactly above the ball. Lower the coupling onto the
ball and engage in the normal way using the jockey wheel.
Prepare the caravan for towing as usual. The caravan must
not be towed with the drive rollers engaged.
Maintenance
Please do not allow the drive units to become soiled with
coarse road material. When you are cleaning the caravan,
spray the Caravan Mover® with a water hose to dissolve mud
etc. Please ensure that no stones, twigs or the like become
trapped in the equipment. The control unit does not require
maintenance. Please keep the remote control in a dry place.
Every year (and / or before putting away for the winter), clean
Caravan Mover® as described, dry and lightly spray the drive
unit guides with oil spray or a similar water-repelling lubricant.
Do not put lubricant on the rollers or the tyres! Engage
and disengage the drive units several times to allow the lubri-
cant to penetrate all the guides. Do not park the caravan with
the drive rollers engaged.
To prevent the battery from becoming totally discharged dur-
ing long periods of inactivity it must be disconnected and
recharged before using again. Charge the caravan battery
before starting up.
It is extremely easy for you or your caravan dealer to perform
the checking and maintenance of your Caravan Mover® dur-
ing the annual inspection of your caravan. If in doubt, please
contact the Truma Services (see Truma Service Booklet or
www.truma.com).
Checks
– Check the installation, wiring and connections for damage
at regular intervals. The drive units must be able to move
freely and be returned automatically to the safe idle posi-
tion by the return spring when they are disengaged. If this
is not the case, examine drive units for soiling or corrosion
at the guides and clean if necessary. Undo all moving parts
as required and oil or spray with a lubricant such as WD40
to ensure that the equipment moves correctly and provides
the full range of movement.
– After the annual inspection, check whether all motors react
properly to the buttons on the remote control.
– At least every 2 years, an expert must check the
Caravan Mover® for rust, check that detachable parts
are firmly attached and check that all safety-related
parts are in good working order.
Troubleshooting
Before calling customer service, please check the following:
Are the batteries in the remote control in good condition?
Is the caravan battery in good condition and fully charged?
Please note that battery performance can deteriorate rapidly
at cold ambient temperatures.
Perform a reset by briefly disconnecting the battery (for
approx. 10 seconds).
If the fault cannot be remedied, please contact your dealer or
the Truma Service department (see www.truma.com).
Synchronising the electronic control unit with
the radioremote control
The remote control and the control unit are synchronised
with each other in the factory.
If the control unit or the remote control is replaced, they must
be re-synchronised as described below.
Check the installation in accordance with the installation in-
structions and ensure that the drive rollers are not applied.
Check that the battery is properly connected, check the condi-
tion of the battery and that a voltage of 12 V is present at the
control unit.
Press the reset button (k) on the control unit and hold down
(red LED (j) flashes slowly), and after approx. 5 seconds the
LED (j) starts to flash rapidly. Then release the reset button
and press and hold down the caravan reverse button on the
remote control (c) within 10 seconds, simultaneously switch-
ing on the remote control using the slide switch (a).

Manufacturer’s terms of warranty
1. Case of warranty
The manufacturer grants a warranty for malfunctions in the
appliance which are based on material or production faults.
In addition to this, the statutory warranty claims against the
seller remain valid.
A claim under warranty shall not apply:
– for parts subject to wear and in cases of natural wear and tear,
– as a result of using components in the units that are not
original Truma parts,
– for gas pressure regulation systems as a result of damage
by foreign substances (e.g. oils, plasticisers) in the gas,
– as a consequence of failure to comply with Truma instruc-
tions for installation and use,
– as a consequence of improper handling,
– as a consequence of improper transport packing.
2. Scope of warranty
The warranty is valid for malfunctions as stated under item 1,
which occur within 60 months after conclusion of the pur-
chase agreement between the seller and the final consumer.
The manufacturers will make good such defects by sub-
sequent fulfilment, i.e. at their discretion either by repair
or replacement. In the event of manufacturers providing
service under warranty, the term of the warranty shall not
recommence anew with regard to the repaired or replaced
parts; rather, the old warranty period shall continue to run.
More extensive claims, in particular claims for compensatory
damages by purchasers or third parties, shall be excluded.
This does not affect the rules of the product liability law.
The manufacturer shall bear the cost of employing the Truma
customer service for the removal of a malfunction under war-
ranty – in particular transportation costs, job and material
costs, as long as the service is carried out by an authorised
Truma Dealer.
Additional costs based on complicated removal and installa-
tion conditions of the appliance (e.g. removal of furniture or
parts of the vehicle body) do not come under warranty.
Rollers carry 60 months warranty against manufacturing de-
fects. Take care to remove sharp stones from your tyres prior
to using your Mover®.
3. Making a claim under the warranty
The distributor’s address is:
Truma UK Limited
2000 Park Lane, Dove Valley Park
Foston
South Derbyshire DE65 5BG.
Please describe you complaint in detail and state the factory
number of the device and the purchase date.
In order for the manufacturer to be able to determine whether
an incident subject to guarantee has occurred, the end user
must bring or send the device to the manufacturer at his own
risk. If there is damage to heat exchangers, the gas pressure
regulator must also be sent back to the factory.
Air conditioning systems:
To avoid transportation damage, the unit may only be sent to
the Truma Service Centre Germany or one of our authorised
service partners if agreed beforehand. Otherwise the sender
bears the risk for any transportation damage.
Please send all shipment to the factory as freight. In cases
under warranty, the works shall bear the transport costs or
the costs of delivery and return. If the damage is deemed not
to be a warranty case, the manufacturer shall notify the cus-
tomer and shall specify repair costs which shall not be borne
by the manufacturer; in this case, the customer shall also bear
the shipping costs.

The Caravan Mover® is not approved for installation
on caravans / trailers with any other chassis!
Any drilling (exception: when using low chassis kit*) or weld-
ing to the chassis is not allowed. Under no circumstances
remove any suspension components from the chassis.
* In the case of the AL-KO Vario III / AV Chassis, never drill
into the vehicle frame even if the flat frame kit is used.
Choice of location
The Caravan Mover® should preferably be installed in front of
the axle, but can also be installed behind the axle under spe-
cial circumstances (e.g. due to lack of space). Only the bolts
that are provided must be used to secure the Mover® (or the
add-on parts provided as special accessories).
Mud guards
Proceed in accordance with these instructions only if a splash
guard is fitted. When a manoeuvring assistant is fitted behind
the axle, the existing mud guards must be moved / adapted if
necessary (max. distance between tyre / mud guard 300 mm).
The mud guards are installed behind the axle. No
mudguards are required in front of the axle.

4. Secure the mud guard 300 mm from the tyre on the under-
side of the caravan.
Installation of the drive units
The frame of the vehicle must be kept free of rust and
heavy soiling and without any damages to the suspension
components.
The wheels and tyres that are fitted to the caravan must be
of the same size and model and inflated as per the manufac-
turer’s instructions.
Remove all components from packing and place on the floor.

Truma can supply a spacer plate set for compensating for
height differences of up to 45 mm (part no. 60010-66000,
2 pcs. à 15 mm). Up to three spacer plates can be used at
each side. A bolt set (part no. 60010-70000) is needed to
attach the spacer plates.
The low chassis mounting set (part. no. 60010-64900) must
be used for height differences of more than 45 mm. Check
that there is adequate ground clearance (min. 110 mm).
The correct distance can be set between the tyre and the
roller (20 mm) with the provided spacer by sliding the (disen-
gaged) drive units in the longitudinal direction. The movable
middle tube makes it possible to adapt to the width of the
frame.

After correctly positioning the bolts and nuts of the mounting
set, tighten slightly and then check the required distances /
clearances again. The weight of the caravan must be on the
wheels when doing this.
Place the movable connection pipe in the centre (use the
marking) and fix each side with 2 threaded bolts (g) M8 x 12
(15 Nm).
The threaded bolts are coated with sealant, and may
therefore only be bolted in once.
Re-check the distance of 20 mm to the tyre (with weight on
wheels) and then tighten the 2 mounting set bolts (M8) with
24 Nm and the 4 mounting set bolts (M10) with 48 Nm.
The bolt tightening order must be strictly adhered to for cor-
rect installation.

Engage the rollers using the provided lever. The drive rollers
must now be applied at both sides. Also check the opposite
side. Disengage drive rollers again.
Repeat this procedure at the opposite side.
Installation of motor cables and control unit
The Mover® is only suitable for connection to 12 V batteries
(DC voltage)!
Remove battery cable terminals and disconnect any ex-
ternal electrical power before starting work. If you are
unsure about the electrical installation, have it checked out by
a qualified automotive electrician.
The electrical installation must comply with the technical and
administrative provisions of the respective country in which it
is used (e.g. EN 1648-1). National regulations and guidelines
must be observed.
Each motor has two preinstalled heavy-duty cables (6 mm²).
Mark the respective motor connecting cables (motor A or B –
see also wiring diagram) and temporarily route to the intend-
ed control unit installation position on the underbody of the
caravan. An example of a suitable location for the control unit
is in a bed stowage box in close proximity to the manoeuvring
system, at least 40 cm away from the battery.
Insert control unit into stowage box and secure with the
supplied chipboard screws (5 x 16).
Drill a 25 Ø hole in the floor of the caravan for leading the cables
through, approx. 150 mm from the control unit terminal strip.
Take care to avoid any chassis members, gas pipes and
electrical wires!
Drill hole and lead cables through floor of caravan to control
unit in such a way that they cannot chafe (particularly when
leading through metal panels). This can be done using protec-
tive tubes, which will prevent the cables from being damaged.
The drive motors move during operation. To com-
pensate for this, the cables should be secured loosely
with a little play in this area in order to prevent cable stretch-
ing. No cables must be routed over the control unit!
Secure cables to chassis and / or underbody using the sup-
plied clips and screws.
Seal hole in vehicle underbody using plastic body sealant.

Installing the isolating switch
Install isolating switch in a suitable location (near the battery)
in the positive lead between the battery and the controller.
– A hole with a diameter of 25 mm is required for installation.
– Turn key anticlockwise until it reaches the end position and
remove.
– Slide isolating switch through hole and secure with either
the provided chipboard screws (5 x 16 mm) or the M6 x 30
bolts and M6 self-locking nuts.
– Cut the positive lead of the battery and crimp the provided
pipe-type cable shoes to both ends of the cut cable.
– Insert key again and move to “OFF”. Screw cable with
pipe-type cable shoes to isolating switch. Connecting order:
Pipe-type cable shoe, spring washer, nut.

Connect battery connecting cables to the existing battery
terminals (red = positive, black = negative).
Re-check whether all cables are correctly connected,
attached using the provided clips and cannot chafe.
Connecting the drive motors
When installing the motor cables, please ensure there is no
danger that they may become torn or damaged.
Cut motor cable of drive motor that is furthest away from
control unit to length. Shorten the motor cable of the nearest
drive motor to the same length. The two drive motor cables
must be of the same length to ensure that the drive output of
the Caravan Mover® is uniform! Excess cable must be routed
in wavy lines without looping.
Crimp the provided flat plugs onto the drive motor cables.
Release flap at control unit terminal strip by pressing and con-
nect cables as shown in wiring diagram (red = positive,
black = negative). Please ensure that the connections are
made properly!
Connecting the battery
Liquid electrolyte batteries need to be placed in a separate
box with an external venting system. The fuse for the positive
line needs to be connected outside the box. The gel and AGM
batteries do not need a separate box. Observe the installation
regulations of the battery manufacturer.
The cables leaving the terminal need to be installed
separately from each other until after the fuse in the
plus line.

Route battery connecting cables (only use the original Truma
cables included in the delivery) to control unit and securely
attach using the provided clips and screws.
The battery connecting cables must not be extended.
They must be routed separately from the motor cables,
and must not run over the control unit.
Route battery connecting cables so that they do not chafe
(particularly at leadthroughs through metal panels). Use suit-
able leadthrough grommets for protection in order to prevent
damage to cables. Connect battery connecting cables to the
existing battery terminals (red = positive, black = negative).
Incorrect wiring will destroy the electronics / control
system.
The connection to the control unit (as per the connecting dia-
gram) must take place in the order – nut, battery connection
ring, nut (torque 7 Nm ±1).
Connect the fuse in the positive cable (150 A) close to the
positive contact.
Commissioning the Caravan Mover®
Check whether the battery is fully charged for operating the
Caravan Mover® and that the isolating switch is in the “ON”
position.
Park the caravan outside on an open, level surface and apply
the handbrake. Ensure that the rollers are disengaged from
the road tyres and the corner supports are raised.
Connect battery terminals to battery, checking that all cables
are secure and not hot or indicating signs of short circuits, etc.
Move slide switch on remote control to the “On” ❙position.
This switches the remote control on – green LED flashes for
5 seconds in combination with the acoustic alarm until the
control unit is ready for operation. If LED does not illuminate,
check polarity and condition of batteries in remote control.
The remote control switches itself off after about 2 minutes if
no buttons are pressed.
Check whether both drive motors are stationary. With the re-
mote control switched on, and no more than 2 m away from
the control unit, press the “Forwards” button. Both drive mo-
tors must now move in the forwards direction.
Move slide switch on remote control to the “Off” 
position to switch the remote control and therefore the
Caravan Mover® off.
Move drive rollers against the tyres using the provided lever.
Turn the lever until it mechanically engages and cannot be
turned any further without using excessive force (end position
approximately horizontal).
Ensure that there no obstacles around the caravan, release
the handbrake and switch the remote control on. Now
check all functions several times according the operating
instructions.
Apply caravan handbrake. To switch the remote control and
the Caravan Mover® off, move slide switch on remote con-
trol to the “Off” position. Release drive rollers using the
lever and re-check distance between roller and tyre. Adjust if
necessary.
The distance between the disengaged drive rollers and
the tyres is 20 mm.
Warnings
The yellow sticker with the warning information, which is
enclosed with the appliance, must be affixed by the installer
or vehicle owner to a place in the vehicle where it is clearly
visible to all users (e.g. on the wardrobe door)! Ask Truma to
send you a sticker, if necessary.
