Vir die wat bietjie gevorderd is in jare - vergelyk die kostes van 'n mover teen die moontlike kostes van 'n rug-operasie. Ons is geneig om te dink ons het dieselfde krag as toe ons jonger was en dis net dan wanneer ons onsself beseer!! 'n Mover is vir my 'n tipe geriefs versekering teen moontlike rug of verwante beserings!!

Ek kan verstaan dat dit tweedehands moeilk bekombaar is - baie populêre toevoeging tot 'n wa!!

Elu ek ek stem, sodrae jy genoeg geld het sit een in, maak nie saak van hoe oud jy is nie. Om dinge vroer makliker te maak, bespaar dit jou die pyne in jou ou dag.

Hi
Johan du Plessis het n Eezi Peezi beskikbaar. Kontak besonderhede...0824593858.... Nog glad nie gebruik nie. Was n geskenk maar hy gebruik hom nie.

Ek bevestig.  Is die Eezi-Peezi ook 'n A-raam mover? ? ? ?

Hoe lyk die Eezi Peezi? Eerste keer dat ek van hom hoor.

Die eenigste probleem met die mover, is hy kan net by die huis gebruik werk. hy is te groot om rond te karwy.

Ek stem Geert

Dan sien ek nuut vra hul basies meer as die Ewiks. Dan sal ek nie 2 keer dink om liewer in n Ewiks te belê nie

....en bestaan die maatskappy nog? Wat as dit breek? Sal daar parte beskikbaar wees? Moet nog battery ook koop.

Ek het sopas n EWIKS gekoop. R10500.00 vir n nuwe een en hulle stuur hom van Durban af. Om hom in te sit is ook nie moeilik as jy weet hoe n boor werk kan jy dit self insit. Uitstekende diens gekry van EWIKS.

Die is n moerse bargain.

Sorry vir die woord.

HI Piet,

Het 'n Rock Jocky in goeie kondisie, 0.75kw 230v vir R10 000.00 as jy belang stel.

Ons is in Krugersdorp.

Groete

Aletta

Aletta as jy na my verwys........ek het intussen n mover opgesit. Dankie vir jou terugvoer. Soos jy sal merk was dit n 2017 navraag.

Ek dink ons is baie wat soek daarna. Ek vra myself af wat sal die rede wees as iemand n tweedehandse stel wil verkoop. By ons pensionarisse is daar altyd iets wat voor so n duur item op die waglysie op die yskasdeur inskuif. Ek kla gladnie ek het darem n karavaan (al is dit sonder movers)so ek is beter af as baie ouens wat nog nie karavaan het nie.
Ek het al begin dink aan die jockey mover net om hier by die huis die wa makliker te parkeer in my nou spasie hier in die kompleks. Ek verstaan die argument dat jy teen sy prys net sowel die ekstra kan bysit en movers opsit. Nou doen ek niks want daardie ekstra R4000.00 kan alweer n ander gat toestop. Ek sien die nuwe jockey mover word geadverteer teen R10000.00 terwyl die ewiks mover met battery en laaier vir die Swing R14100.00 beloop.

Ek het my wa by baie plekke op gesit om te verkoop.

Gee my n prys wat hy verkoop voor en dat hulle belangstel, toe ek die ekstras noem stel hulle nie meer belang nie.

Sê ek sal die movers afhaal raak die ou ongeskik met my.

Volgens hulle tel ekstras niks, soos jy op jou kar ook verloor.

My wa is nog te koop met die movers op.

Kry ek nie my wa verkoop weens my gesondheid nie, kan ek hom nog met die movers beweeg.

Die res moet net iemand doen en ek kanp.

Ek hoop maar van harte iemand stel belang in jou wa.  Dalk jou advertensie so verander dat dit is jou prys sonder die ekstras. Dan lys jy die ekstras apart met 'n prys by.  As die kooper dit wil hê betaal hy daai prys by.

EK HET OOK N EWIKS GEKOOP EN SELF INGESIT WERK SOOS N BOM.GEBRUIK DIT MET N LOS BATTERY.

Please can turn your CAPS off when you post. 

The old, old question of mover or  no mover.

I look at it as an absolute essential extra - like medical Aid...we dont like the costs but we have to have it....

I originally had a Scout (this thing with the door opening upwards at the rear ) and the GVM was 750 kg.

With my back op done in 1993 and my age I was not able to move this thing on a level road --not to talk even  of slight uphill or downhill.

Even with a wife of similar age and both healthy I cannot see ourselves moving the van on a  slightly uneven surface.

For me it was as factual as day and night that I could not handle the van by myself and I am not even talking of delicately  manouvering it to the tow ball.

Recently I purchased an off-road Conqueror Supra 1 with a GVM of 1500kg.

I just about can move this trailer on the garage floor but down the slight ramp and to the towing vehicle (and in reverse at home after the trip) and then--OOOH HELL----on a rough patch of camping ground !!! NO CHANCE.

So, if age or back pain or anything else prevents you from pushing your van where you want or need it without suffering  or maybe causing a self inflicted accident----scounge and scrounge and scrounge to get a DECENT MOVER.

Apart from the  imported stuff which are around R 20.000,-/22.000,- PLUS, the EWIKS wins hands down because it is much, much  cheaper and can be installed by your honourable self ...and if you have only 2 left  thumbs, you most likely have a relative or good friend to do it with you. It is quite  easy and Ewiks gives very good instructions and their price includes basically all parts, excepting maybe a special bracket or two which however will not cost you an arm or leg ....maybe just a blocked nose for an hour or so.

The overriding point I am making is IF YOU ARE OF AN AGE OR CONDITION which prohibits you from or won't let you safely manhandle your  van (not only at home but also at the place of your pleasure) DON'T SKIMP and try for the second best and remember: You might not be in a position to manhandle your van satisfactory now but you are still very able to go camping ......So. do what you like to do best and most

I found that AL-Ko also have a mover available. It is on their catalogue.   It looks quite streamlined but I cannot find any reference to this in South Africa. The Ewiks according to an enquiry I sent to them, is not compatible with the Skipper, so I have been wondering whether the Al-Ko might work.  Does anyone know this system and whether it is available in South Africa?

I wonder sometimes why caravan manufacturing / building companies  do not include a mover as original equioment in particular for all vans over tare of1.200 kg or similar.

It should be very easy to design a mover as part of the van axle/suspensin and offer it as "OPTIONAL EXTRA", also considering that today all vans make use of a battery one way or the other. In the same way it bothers me that in all the last 25 years  the larger SA caravan builders (e.g. Jurgens, etc) were unable to offer an integrated airconditioner , also as optional extra. Today normal domestic units are crammed into nose cones and elsewhere and for a van one does not need a 12.000 BTU unit, a 5.000 / 6000 BTU would be sufficient.

Agree, but I dont think they will give you the top of the range options...... I mean, if I look at some equipment as standard on most caravans it is clearly a case of cheapest supplier....

I have an Ewiks, it does what it needs to, and it does have issues just like the rest of the other makes, so one just have to decide and choose your battle.....

I for one dont want the most technologically advanced mover with the risk of blowing a control card and then having to search for a replacement and especially if the manufacturer closed down or the importer stopped using them.

Local was my answer and simplicity even better...

I think I must fit a 270 awning first and then a mover.

Alko has the Mammut Mover.  I like the stream line of it. Fits to the chassis mostly used here in SA.   It also comes from over seas.  Can also move a heavy caravan.

They were the first to mount it onto a small demo trailer with every Beeld Holiday Show.  Ewiks now has the same demo method and Reich Mover from Witbank also incorporates a leveling system and electric corner steadies onto their demo trailer.

Well its for you to decide.  If you have some sort of rally you are covered for the time being in that area.

No mover is no mover and you only discover the real value of a mover after you have installed one.

Some one else mentioned on another thread that their Mover and rear view camera are their no 1 Items on the Caravans.
