I have moved the S-380 (?) shelter that can also fit in a deuce bed on a
dolly set that has 9.00-20 tires.
    1) They cannot be backed up hitched to the deuce
     2) On flat pavement or very hard ground, with the shelter, 2 people can
push them backwards (or forwards). Both people are needed to get it moving
and then one makes a dash for the tongue to steer while the other has to be
prepared to run around back and grab the hand brakes to stop or push. ( hand
brakes are safer alternative).
      3) They tow very easily, but like any trailer, you have to swing WIDE
on corners because of the steering front set.
    4) They tow very well at highway (55-60) speeds.
