I originally ordered the 20", I didn't want my camper siting on the angle iron frame so I padded it up with 2X6's and a sheet of plywood, ended up being too high so I had to order the 15" legs.
It is very sturdy, backed it up a slight incline into the garage I'm storing it. I'm happy with the construction.

For my purposes I want to weight of the camper off the jacks so the car dolly wouldn't work and for the price of a Rieco-Titan dolly you could built a very robust wood dolly for 1/4 of the price.

My problem is that I can't clear the ceiling of my carport with tall rubber wheels, and short, hard casters get hung up.

I'm building a shop and it's $10k more for 16ft walls and a 14ft door compared to 14ft walls with a 12ft door. My camper on the truck is 13ft.

There's always the posibility of setting the camper on a trailer to duck under a door.
