With all of that smooth concrete and two GMC motorhomes it looks like you could use my GMC dolly set up. Four 3000lb castors with custom fabricated attachment brackets to fasten at bogey box in the rear and at the joint between the stub frame and rails in the front. Rubber lined cast iron wheels and all four castors are swiveling which allows the coach to be moved in any direction. On smooth concrete I can move a fully assembled coach by myself. In the lowest position the wheels are about 6" above the floor. The attachment at the bogeys is accomplished without a cross member allowing free access to the underside rear of the joint between the frame rails and stub frame. The attachment at the front frame to stub frame joint utilizes a crossmember which is necessary if removal of the loaded front stub frame is desired while on the dolly( I pulled mine with a forklift while mounted to the dolly with the body in place). Height is adjustable by blocking between the castor plate and attachment brackets and using longer attachment bolts. I spent $500 for the castors and another $600 to have my bogey attachment design fabricated. I am finished using it with my restoration on my 77 Royale and hope I don't get lured down the rabbit hole on another one. I'm looking for $500 for all of it. Lemmeno if you are interested or want pics.
