Jeremy's take

“One of the most common issues we see is how to manoeuvre a caravan or boat into a shed or driveway space. This mover solves the issue without the expensive fitting of wheel-operated movers on the market.”

How it compares

Feature Autotrailer Typical alternative
Repositioning your caravan Remote-controlled — stand back and steer with the wheel Push, pull and steer by hand, often solo
Turning in tight spots 360° rotation on dual-axle vans Limited by your own strength and the drawbar angle
Weight capacity Up to 3,500kg (350kg towball weight) Most people can't safely manoeuvre much over 500kg by hand
Holding position Dynamic braking locks automatically on release No automatic hold — relies on you controlling it manually

Installation Easy

Frequently asked questions

It clamps onto your existing drawbar the same way a standard jockey wheel does — no professional installation required. Most people fit or remove it in under 5 minutes. Trailers over 1500kg need a heavy-duty double clamp bracket to stop the pole moving during use — see our clamp bracket options, or ask us which one fits your drawbar.

The Optimover V3 handles trailers, boats and caravans from 500kg up to 3,500kg, with a maximum towball weight of 350kg.

Best on concrete, aggregate or pavers. It'll also handle dry, firm grass or gravel. If you're mostly on softer ground, get in touch with us first — we can advise on whether it's a good fit.

The Optimover has dynamic braking built in — release the forward or reverse button and it automatically locks the wheel (and your caravan) in place. It isn't connected to your trailer's road brakes, and isn't recommended on gradients over about 10%.
