Jeff, thanks for the reply. I do have one of the wheeled dollies. The
problem is with a dual axle trailer, (and mine is pretty heavy) there is
no hope at all to turn it by hand. I use a hitch ball mounted on the end
of the forklift tine to push the trailer in place.

Eric,
I don't know the details of how the trailer is maneuvered with the
forklift, but we had a "walker" for our travel trailer to fit it into
a tight storage spot. I can't find a picture, but it was like two
upside-down soup bowls connected on the top (bottom of the "bowl") by
square tubing. In the middle of the square tubing was a hitch ball.
A long pole fit in one end of the tubing. By manipulating the pole,
you could walk the two bowl "feet" and maneuver the trailer.
And then there's the two-wheel gadgets, like this:

Still need to go to all that trouble? Can you stick one corner where
it will end up, put a jack stand under it, and use a jack on the other
end to swing it in place?
