Not sure what to call it, but my father has one of these things. It is
smaller than a lawn mower and is basically a big pneumatic wheel with a
trailer ball on top. Uses an electric motor and alot of gear reduction to
move. It is very small for storage. He used to use it to move
around a 22ft camping trailer.
If I can find a picture I'll post it.
