Hi all,

looking at purchasing a 12v jockey wheel mover, any recommendations / preferences on brand that are not overly expensive, preferably one that can be connected into the vans Anderson plug for power

Thanks in advanced

Dont buy cheap, you will get what you pay for from my observations.

I've seen the cheaper units for a few hundred dollars, my my neighbour has one , but they seem next to useless. If the ground is wet, soft like lawn or even a slight incline they just spin, plus some units do not handle dual axle vans easily. Having said that, I have an expensive unit of over $2000 that is almost as problematic, and very heavy to carry around and connect, does my back in every time I try to carry and bolt it onto the draw bar. Be curious to see what gets recommended, as I need a better unit.

Very very good advice from Phlipper,

Here is a link to a enquiry I made on here some time ago.

I ended up with the Parkit unit and it works well for my needs.
It has plenty of guts to push and pull
