Dolly Jacks / Jacking Dollies
I just moved from my shop to my garage where the wings & gear will get mounted. I've been thinking of getting some jacking dollies like these:

But I'm not sure these will work with the small tires on an RV. Anybody tried these on an RV? There are many manufacturers, both in ratchet and hydraulic styles. These would allow you to move the aircraft laterally with very little effort. They would seem ideal where you are sharing a hangar and need to move an airplane laterally. You can even spin the airplane around on its own axis!
If the rollers don't get close enough together to raise a small RV wheel, I can see a business opportunity if somebody were to build one that would!
