Can anyone compare pushing a camper around on a flat dolly with industrial castors to using a utility trailer with a trailer dolly? My garage door is 8 feet tall and the driveway into the garage is relatively flat and the camper will weigh about 2K and 70" tall with the roof down so it should be practical move around by hand. I could build a fairly robust dolly out of wood and order castors off the internet but if I bought a utility trailer similar to a Big Tex 30SA, I would probably use it for other things too so it wouldn't necessarily be just for camper storage.
At this point, I'm leaning towards the wood dolly with castors as its cheaper and it seems like it would be easier to manuever inside the garage.

I think you are going to need a power pusher to move those tiny wheels with a ton of weight on them. How smooth is your slab and is there any grade? I think you'll get stuck if you have a heavy broom finish and big expansion joints. 8" pneumatic wheels would probably work OK, but not if much grade on your driveway is involved.
My brothers carport is pretty level and at the time my camper was completely empty, we rolled it 100 ft from under the awning and then back again. I’m thinking around 2000 lbs. rolled real easy no issues.
