ensure that the caravan or trailer is on a level, even, firm surface and there is
no risk of it moving towards a slope that could allow it to roll uncontrolled.

Optitec
Wireless Remote Control Wheel
although it may do so very well, is
not specifically designed to move a caravan or trailer on sand, gravel, soft soil &
grass, wet surfaces or rough, uneven ground. It is the responsibility of the Operator to
determine individual situations and operational ability.
