This reminds me... During my fiasco with the engine of my tow vehicle we parked the T@B by a pole in the dealer lot and I plugged it in because of a loaded fridge. When it became obvious that we were going to be there for awhile I unplugged it and another guy and I rolled it very easily 300 ft across the lot to park it behind a locked gate. When I was ready to hook up again the dealership had parked cars in front of the tongue. So I backed the truck up to the back of the T@B. I took the handbrake off and, by myself, spun the T@B around, pulled it 2 ft over and dropped the hitch down on the ball.
The weight and that jockey wheel were most appreciated.
