Pull a truck camper...first, there is no place to latch on and pull but even if you did, the jacks will likly rip off and then it will be dragging on it's bottom. A couple hundred feet and it may be a total loss.
Obviously, you haven’t seen a truck camper move on the jacks. Trust me, they can. If you have forks, you could easily lift it from underneath. That’s the way they take them off trailers. I’m not sure why you’d want to move one a couple hundred feet.
Actually I have seen them move them around RV lots.
I'm talking about a more typical tractor with 3-4' forks on the front not fork lift with 6-8' forks.
Also, when they lift them with a fork lift, it's typically from the rear so they can get the forks well under the bottom and center of gravity. In a typical camp site, getting behind is going to be difficult to impossible. Picking up from the front would require 8-10' forks.
If a trailer is on fire, you likely want to move it more than 10ft and you don't want to leave it in the road blocking fire truck access...so 100' isn't excessive.
