Pity it does not have a free wheel function, works well otherwise.
As you would expect this is a heavy unit. The swivelling of the motor can make balancing of the vertical shaft an issue when lining it up in the normal jockey wheel clamps. Its awkward only because of the weight, it is not a fault.
Because of the awkwardness I would suggest you have a extra heavy duty swivel mount fitted so the jockey wheel is easily swung up out of the road when towing. The wind up mechanism is good but it does not wind the wheel up high enough to have safe clearance for the motor when towing in a normal clamp.
The only issue I have found is that there is no free wheel position You can only move the van by using the motor , you cannot disengage the motor from the gearbox so you can just push the van manually if you have this motorised unit as your jockey wheel.
Our van is a 16ft, 2 tonne single axle van with 220Kg on the ball, I wouldn't use it for dual axle vans.
Regreasing the drive gears etc will be a hassle, that's a full tear down job. I don't like the 35 amp Anderson plug for the power supply but realistically there is not many options available out there for that.

They may produce 70w of heat but 50w globe lights up more
Side by side test with some old 50w halogen spot lights show that these are at best good for use as fog lights. Close range fill in lighting or camp site flood lighting would be all I would use these for.
As driving lights they are not much use. My Navara high beams have better range and spread so no recommendation from me.
70Watt = 2 x 35w lights?
