The Mover XT is a manoeuvring system that can be used to move a caravan without the aid of the towing vehicle.
The Mover XT was designed for use on single-axle caravans with a gross weight of up to 2300 kg. The Mover XT2 is a manoeuvring system which allows a caravan to be manoeuvred without the aid of the towing vehicle.
The Mover XT2 was designed for use on dual-axle caravans with a gross weight of up to 2400 kg.
The caravan may only be manoeuvred with the manoeuvring system on campsites and private property.
The caravan must not be manoeuvred with the manoeuvring system on public roads.
The manoeuvring system may only be used for caravans Manoeuvring of other trailers, such as boat trailers, horse box trailers, market trailers, construction trailers or similar items, is prohibited.
Only competent and trained people (experts) are permitted to install and repair the Truma product and to carry out the function test, at the same time observing the installation and operating instructions and the currently recognised technical regulations. Experts are people who, based on their specialist instruction and training, their knowledge and experience with Truma products and the relevant standards, can carry out the necessary work properly and identify potential hazards.
People who are not experts should observe the following:
The manoeuvring system consists of two separate drive units, each with its own 12 V DC motor. These units are mounted on the frame of the vehicle in the immediate vicinity of the wheels, and are connected by a lateral bar.
Fire hazard due to the control unit being covered inside the caravan
If the control unit is inadequately ventilated, it may overheat during operation
Illustration exemplary. If necessary, a second control unit, additional drive units, a safety socket or a battery cut-off switch can be provided.
The device type and serial number are printed on the type plates.
Type plate
The type plates of the drive units are located on the left and right of the mounting tubes.
To ensure the validity of the general operating permit (ABE), the type plates must be present on the mounting tubes.
The type plate of the control unit is located on the underside of the control unit. The type plate of the remote control can be found in the remote control's battery compartment.
Coping with inclines (max. climbing ability)
The Mover XT has been designed to cope with inclines of up to 25% bearing a gross weight of 1200 kg or 13% bearing a gross weight of 2300 kg on a suitable surface.
The Mover XT2 has been designed to cope with inclines of up to 25% bearing a gross weight of 1200 kg or 10% bearing a gross weight of 2400 kg on a suitable surface.
13% incline = 13 metre difference in altitude over a distance of 100 metres
10% slope = 10 meters difference in altitude over 100 meters distance
Once the drive rollers have been fully engaged with the tyres using remote control, the manoeuvring system is ready for operation.
Manoeuvring is carried out exclusively via the remote control, which transmits radio signals to the control unit. A separately installed 12 V lead-acid battery or suitable lead-gel battery (not supplied) provides the control unit with electrical power.
For optimum operation, we recommend the Truma PowerSet BC and high-performance Optima® batteries. Surface-mounted batteries with a correspondingly large capacity are also suitable (see table below). Body batteries are installed in caravans with a self-sufficient power supply, for example.
Batteries
To guarantee proper operation of the manoeuvring system, it may only be operated with a charged battery (≥ 12 V).
Operation of the manoeuvring system with a charger as power source is not possible and prohibited.
Recommended battery capacities
The 12 V battery used must be certified in accordance with the national standards and regulations of the country of use and in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions. The battery must be dimensioned in accordance with the technical requirements of the manoeuvring system.
Starter batteries are not suitable.
Batteries with greater capacity allow the manoeuvring system to be used for longer.

NOTICE
Damage to the remote control due to leaking batteries
Leaking batteries can damage the remote control. Then, the manoeuvring system can no longer be used.
No warranty is given for damage caused by leaking batteries
Only use leak-proof micro-batteries with a steel outer casing, type LR 03, AAA, AM 4, MN 2400 (15 V). Different types of batteries or new and used batteries must not be used together.
The remote control switches itself off automatically after approx 3 minutes if none of the buttons are pressed
There is no "On/Off" switch on the caravan itself
The side slide switch on the remote control (ON/OFF) also acts as an "Emergency Stop switch"
The remote control can only be switched on again if it has been switched off for at least 4 seconds. If the remote control is switched off and on again quickly, it remains switched off.
Personal injury due to the caravan behaving in an uncontrolled manner.
If the drive rollers are not completely engaged, uncontrolled changes of direction or driving movements may occur during manoeuvring
Personal injury due to the caravan sliding in an uncontrolled manner.
The caravan's tyres may lose grip on slippery surfaces (snow, ice, slush, wet grass)
NOTICE
Property damage due to a lack of care and maintenance performed on the manoeuvring system
If the manoeuvring system is not kept clean and regularly maintained, dirt and lack of control of the manoeuvring system and tyres can lead to damage
Personal injury due to activation of the battery cut-off switch when the drive rollers are engaged
The manoeuvring system can move off in an uncontrolled manner as soon as the power supply is established due to faulty wiring or a fault in the control unit
For safety reasons, the manoeuvring system can only be operated if the caravan's 13-pin plug or adapter is plugged into the safety socket.
If the 13-pin plug or adapter is pulled out of the safety socket during operation, the manoeuvring system is switched off immediately.
NOTICE
Property damage due to uncontrolled remote control button commands
If you put the switched-on remote control into your trouser pockets, or if it is used by children, the manoeuvring system can be set in motion unintentionally.
No other remote control function must be active (slide control/control knob must be in the centre position) when the remote control is switched on.
Personal injury due to the caravan rolling away
If the parking brake is released during the engagement, the caravan can roll away in an uncontrolled manner
The drive rollers are engaged on the caravan wheels by means of the remote control.
The drive commands with the control knob and/or slide control are only executed when the drive rollers are fully swiveled. If the engagement is interrupted, it must be restarted and performed in full. Drive commands can only be executed afterwards.
If the two DISENGAGE buttons are pressed during the engagement, the engagement is immediately interrupted and the disengagement is started.
Before engagement:

Successful engagement:
Control of correct engagement:
Display | Condition |
1-2 | Engagement incomplete |
3 | Drive rollers completely engaged |
No digit visible | Drive rollers completely disengaged |
If the drive units do not engage properly, see "Troubleshooting".
Personal injury due to collision
If persons or objects are present in the manoeuvring range during the manoeuvring, collisions and injuries may occur.
Personal injury due to uncontrolled movements of the manoeuvring system
Malfunctions in the manoeuvring system, the control unit or the remote control can lead to the caravan moving unpredictably.
NOTICE
Damage to the tyres due to manoeuvring with the parking brake applied
If the caravan's parking brake is not released after the engagement, the tyres may be damaged when the caravan is manoeuvred.
When the buttons are released, or if the radio signal is interrupted or becomes too weak, the caravan immediately stops moving.
Control knob and slide control
Precise movement in all directions is possible using the control knob and the slide control. The caravan starts to move without jolting when starting.
When the control knob or slide control are released, or if the radio signal is interrupted or becomes too weak, the caravan stops moving immediately.
Radio equipment or other remote controls will not activate your manoeuvring system.
After start-up, the manoeuvring system moves at a steady speed (depending on the position of the slide control). Speed increases slightly on downhill slopes and decreases on uphill slopes.
Slide control only
The slide control can be used to drive forwards or backwards without jolting, with infinitely variable speed control. The further the slide control is moved from the zero position, the faster the speed.
Drive forward
Drive in reverse
Control knob only
The caravan symbol on the control knob indicates the current direction of travel (of the caravan).
The further the control knob is moved, the faster the caravan turns on the spot.
Continuous turning on the spot is not possible with a dual-axle chassis (XT2) due to the design. To continue turning, the caravan must be moved forwards or backwards at the same time (using the slide control).
Turn left
Turn right
Control knob and slide control
The more the control knob is turned, the smaller the turning radius. Operating the control knob and the slide control causes the manoeuvring system to go round in a circle, whereby the wheels rotate continuously, but the inner wheels rotate more slowly than the outer wheels.
Very tight bends are not possible with a dual-axle chassis due to the design.
Drive forward to the left
Driving forward on the right
Driving backward to the left
Driving backward to the right
The manoeuvring system allows a caravan to be coupled to a towing vehicle with millimetre accuracy. However, this requires care and a degree of practice.
Only insert the 13-pole plug or adapter into the supply socket of the towing vehicle after the drive rollers have been disengaged.
NOTICE
Property damage due to towing the caravan with the drive rollers engaged
If the caravan is being towed by the towing vehicle with the drive rollers engaged, the manoeuvring system, the towing vehicle or even the caravan can be damaged.
Personal injury due to the caravan rolling away
If the drive rollers are disengaged, the caravan cannot be controlled.
Pour off:
The drive rollers are disengaged on the caravan wheels by means of the remote control.
Display | Condition |

No digit visible | Drive rollers completely disengaged |
After disengaging:
Control of correct disengagement:
The manoeuvring system can also be disengaged manually if the power supply to the manoeuvring system is interrupted or a malfunction prevents automatic disengagement. See "Emergency disengagement".
(emergency disengagement)
Personal injury due to the caravan rolling away
If the drive rollers are disengaged, the caravan cannot be controlled.
NOTICE
Damage due to incorrect tools
The manoeuvring system may only be disengaged manually. Other auxiliary equipment, eg cordless screwdrivers, can damage the manoeuvring system.
If the body battery is discharged to such an extent that the electric disengaging function no longer works, or if there is a defective battery, it can also be disengaged manually.
NOTICE
Damage to the tyres and drive unit due to continuously engaged drive rollers.
If the manoeuvring system's drive rollers remain engaged continuously, this can cause damage to tyres and drive units if the system is at a standstill for an extended period of time.
If the 13-pin plug is pulled out of the caravan's safety socket, even though the manoeuvring system is still engaged, the system issues a warning while the remote control is still switched on.
Before contacting the customer service, the following points should be checked:
Error | Cause and remedy |
Manoeuvring system not working | Check the power supply (the green LED of the control unit should light up). Replace a defective fuse in the battery connection cable of the manoeuvring system only with an original Truma spare part. Interrupt the power supply for at least 20 seconds. Restore the power supply. The green LED on the control unit should be lit. |
Manoeuvring system not working and red LED on control unit flashing | Control unit is overheated. Interrupt the power supply with the battery cut-off switch and remove the key. Allow the control unit to cool down for at least 20 minutes. Then start the manoeuvring system. |
Manoeuvring system not working, red and green LED flashing on the control unit | Overloading of the power electronics (e.g. overloaded caravan, excessive slope). Interrupt the power supply for at least 20 seconds Restore the power supply |
Manoeuvring system not responding to commands from remote control or only with interruptions | ![]() Symbols flash on the remote control. Remote control's battery charge is too low |
Manoeuvring system's battery low – green LED on control unit flashes. Check the battery of the shunting system. Charge or replace battery if necessary. | |
Drive roller sliding off tyre | Check the tire pressure and adapting if necessary. Check the tyre tread and change the tires if necessary. Disengage the manoeuvring system and measure the gap between the tyres and drive roller. The gap must be 20 mm. |
Manoeuvring system not disengaging | Disengage the manoeuvring system manually (see "Disengage the manoeuvring system manually") |
The remote control and the control unit are paired with each other at the factory. If the control unit or the remote control is replaced, they must be paired again.
The drive rollers must not be engaged.
A ballpoint pen or small screwdriver, for example, is required to press the reset knob (Fig. 38-1)
Procedure:
Cleaning and user-performed maintenance must not be carried out by children when unsupervised.
Severe to lethal injury due to short circuiting
Parts of the appliance are supplied with power over an on-board power supply consisting of 12 V batteries. In the event of high electrical loads or a short circuit, very high currents can flow through the supply lines, causing the cables to heat up and a cable fire to break out.
NOTICE
Damage to the manoeuvring system due to incorrect cleaning
Notes for handling batteries
Battery care (including maintenance-free batteries)
In order to achieve a long battery service life, attention must be paid to the following points:
In winter, store the fully charged battery in a cool, frost-free place and recharge it regularly (every 12 weeks).
If the caravan is parked with the drive units engaged, the tyres can get pressure marks and damage.
The drive units must be able to move freely and be returned automatically to the safe idle position when they are disengaged.
Personal injury due to a lack of system maintenance
If the gap between the drive rollers and tyres is too large or if the tyre pressure is too low, there is a risk that the drive rollers will no longer engage completely with the necessary pressure.
The manoeuvring system is extremely easy to check or maintain during the caravan's annual inspection.
If in doubt, please contact Truma Service (www.truma.com).
The gap between the tyres and drive rollers can be checked using the spacer plate. The distance must be 20 +/- 1 mm.
The spacer plate may just fit between the tyre and the drive roller. If the spacer has too much play and falls through between the tyre and the drive roller, the gap must be readjusted.
The control unit does not require any maintenance
NOTICE
Damage due to repair work being carried out by incompetent individuals
If the manoeuvring system is damaged, further damage may result if untrained individuals perform the repair work or genuine Truma spare parts are not used.

Disregarding the safety instructions and regulations may seriously endanger the health or life of persons or cause serious property damage.
Prerequisite for operation
Who is allowed to operate the manoeuvring system? The manoeuvring system may be operated only by persons of legal age who have been made aware of the potential risks when using the product and who are able to safely operate the manoeuvring system together with the vehicle.
Cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision.
Children must be supervised so that they do not play with the appliance.
Children under 3 years of age must be kept away from the appliance or supervised at all times.
Condition of the tyres
In order to ensure that the manoeuvring system operates correctly, the gap between the tyres and the disengaged drive rollers must be 20 mm. All tyres must be inflated to the same pressure in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. Tyre wear or the fitting of new tyres may make it necessary to readjust the gap between the drive rollers and the tyres.
All wheels and tyres on the caravan must be of the same size and type In the event of disregard, safety during operation cannot be secured.
Before using the manoeuvring system for the first time, practice with it to familiarise yourself with the functions of the remote control and of the manoeuvring system.
Drive rollers
If the drive rollers are not completely engaged, the caravan cannot be controlled.
Sloping ground
The caravan can tilting around its axle if the rear is moved downhill on slopes.
Distance to the manoeuvring system
When manoeuvring, the distance between the radio remote control and the middle of the caravan must not exceed 10 m!
Due to the characteristic properties of a radio signal, it may be interrupted by terrain/objects. This reduces reception quality in small areas around the caravan, as a result of which the operation of the manoeuvring system may be briefly interrupted.
Persons inside the caravan
Persons outside the caravan
Keeping an overview of the situation
Switch off the manoeuvring system
After switching off the shunting system with the remote control, the control unit remains in standby mode. To completely switch it off, the battery must be disconnected or isolated from the power supply via a previously installed battery cut-off switch.
Do not put the ready-to-operate remote control in your pocket or lay it down, otherwise functions could be triggered accidentally via buttons or the control knob or slide control.
Always secure the remote control against unauthorized access. Pay particular attention to children.
General instructions relating to the manoeuvring system
When jacking up the caravan, the manoeuvring system must not be used as a support point, as this could damage the drive unit and the vehicle. The empty weight of the vehicle increases by the weight of the manoeuvring system, which reduces the payload of the vehicle.
Depending on the weight of the caravan, the manoeuvring system can only overcome obstacles (e.g. kerb) from a height of approx 3 cm with auxiliary equipment (e.g. levelling ramps).
Levelling ramps must not exceed an incline of 25% (14 °)! Otherwise, depending on the weight of the vehicle, it may not be possible to overcome the incline or the tyre tread may be damaged.
Sensitive objects, such as cameras, DVD players, etc., must not be stored in the stowage box near the control unit or the motor connector cable. The strong electromagnetic fields around the power cables could damage the appliances.
Emergency stop
The side slide switch on the remote control (ON/OFF) also acts as an "Emergency Stop switch" Switch the side slide switch to "OFF" immediately in case of any noticeable problems, e.g. uncontrolled behaviour of the manoeuvring system.
