Pushing your PUP around by hand
I started out with a Jayco PUP that was fairly light-weight with a 10 ft. box. After unhitching it, I was able to push it around in the garage on the smooth, level floor to position it where I needed...

If you actually knew the situation I was dealing with, you might not speak so disparagingly.
Once it is in the shop, I move it over out of the way to make more open floor space for other projects. I put the rear of the PUP where it needs to be for the process before unhooking from the TV and then swing the front toward the wall and sometimes need to rock it forward and backwards to get it ever closer to the wall.
There's no possible way a TV could do what I do by hand but thanks for the suggestion. And I'd rather not jack it up to put it on wheel dollies every time so I can slide it sideways. It doesn't take a lot of work to accomplish this - 5 minutes at most. I would rather not have to add a wider door to the shop just so I could back it in right next to an exterior wall.
I am personally aware of people who rotate their PUP 180 degrees to be able to squeeze the PUP in their garage with the tongue pointed into an alcove. I do not think that would be possible with many things anything other than a PUP. I'm just trying to provide a friendly tip for those who do utilize the jack wheel.
With a high wall PUP and an axle flip, I pretty much have the same visibility issues as TTs. The roof of my PUP is taller than the roof of the TV. It is not as tall as a TT but I lost the ability to see over it from the rear view and side view mirrors as when I had a standard wall PUP. My choice, sure.
So, swinging back around, IF you are someone who actually can or wants to use the tongue jack wheel on your PUP, a little lubrication can make the job easier.
You seem to know all the pitfalls and what you are willing to do and are very firm on what you are not willing to do so? :?
