I know this is an old thread, but I have the same question as OP, and this thread answered some of my questions (thanks, Joshua!).

So the Purple Line movers seem to be the way to go assuming I can get an appropriate tough but soft jack wheel. I have an inquiry out to Purple Line regarding the adequacy of their own heavy duty dual wheel caster.
One problem with Joshua's setup ishis 1000-1200 lb tongue weight; that's pretty extreme, possibly due to his application of food truck. Mine is a 19' Bambi, about 350-400 lbs tongue weight (I've moved my batteries to just in front of the axle).
