I'm considering a dolly to hopefully make life easier backing Pluto back on his pad. Any pros / cons on these?

I've never known anybody to have one. I've only seen them in ads.

I have one from Harbor Freight, just the two wheels a ball and the handle.
I can put my 2800 lb airstream on and move it around the shop, but it isn't easy!

there is an electric one, watched several youtube videos on it and it makes it LOOK easy, but they are not cheap.

I've heard about them (but not seen them). In concept, I think it's a great idea -- specially for those chronologically challenged (like me). :lol: :lol:

The only one I've seen in use - someone attached a little tractor thing to move it around - said doing in manually was a PITA (Pain in the behind for Soos).
