For us a mover is essential. We couldn't get it into and out of storage on some days without one. In addition we have the Alko wheel lock and that requires mm positioning to work (bits of a foolish design really) but the motor move makes fitting that easy.
Oh and go for the one with the motor to apply it not a manual one! We have a manual one and you have to move it through about 200 degrees to apply it meaning that when it "clonks" over you smack your hand on the ground. It also needs a lot of force behind it ( which fortunately I have) but MrsStu can't do it.

Re: Travel fridges in hot weather
Most brands have thought of that Clive - most have a screwdriver that fits onto the power mounting motor spindle and allows you to turn it manually. Should only take a half hour a side along with severe wrist pain reminiscent of your teenage years...or will be less painful if you use jump leads from the car onto the van
