Love my New Purpleline Mover!

I hope this is allowed on this forum. I just had the Purpleline Quattro mover installed on my 320 Boondock and love it!  I have had an older 2006 t@b for years, and recently upgraded to a 2021 Boondock. I park it in an extremely narrow garage (I have 1 foot on each side), and a sharp 90 degree uphill turn that necessitated unhooking and manually inching the trailer into the garage. I waited through Covid back order, and finally received the Purpleline. The guys at Poulsbo, WA Apache RV did a great job installing the mover, when other shops turned away this work. They were super busy with work too.

    Nice to hear good things about a local dealer.  I want to have some maintenance work done on my 2018 and the Everett location has been slow.  I'll check with Poulsbo!

    @PNWtabber Everything I’ve heard says Poulsbo is a better choice than Everett if you can get there easily.

    @Sunny2WS Congrats on the Purpleline! Still my number 1 favorite mod, would never again own a trailer without it!

    Yeah,
    This thing is so cool. I just want to go out there and play with moving the t@b in and out of my 90 degree angle garage. 🎉🎉

    Sounds wonderful.  We have a manual hand/drill-cranked version to swivel our camper 180 deg in a tight drive.  Not suited to unpaved surface and worrisome if you back it up as it rotates out of vertical.  Enjoy.

    Thinking about farming out brakes, Wheel Bearing check and lub, plus winterising. Have any of you delt with the Apache Dealer in Tacoma ? They are a TAB Dealer.

    I previously owned a 2006 Dutchman t@b and the brakes went out. I tried to take it to numerous shops, one was the Apache RV in Tacoma. I even had some bearings shipped from Europe. They ended up saying they could work on my old Dutchman (the parts are European and the brakes were disc brakes), but said they would only work on it if I brought it in as a trade on a new Boondock. I wasn’t too happy about that. I ended up getting a new 2021 t@b at the Everett Apache RV, essentially because no one in the area wanted to take the time with the European parts, or didn’t think they could get the parts.

    Does anybody with a non Boondock 320 have the Enduro?  My concern is the lower ground clearance on my 320S.

    Over the last two years, I think nearly everyone I know who had it installed went with the Quattro. I have the Enduro, but I have a Boondock, no clearance issue there. @Mouseketab, I think you have the Enduro too, can you speak to your experience on this?

    Yes, I have the Enduro with a non-boondock T@B. However, I will qualify that it is a Dutchmen T@B with the 16" low profile tires. (So probably equivalant to 15" rims with trailer tires). I have no clearance issues with the unit EVER. But I NEVER go off road.
