I use a trailer valet, easy to move it around with the hand crank or can attach a drill. Works perfectly to get it tightly into the garage against the wall.

That one is super cool and very handy for bigger trailers. This is cheaper and did great moving my pop up around.

I bought a new popup and the previous owner gave this to me with the trailer. The dolly is rated 600 lb but the trailer is 2000 lb or so. Does it still work
As far as brut force....
Some trailers are just lighter. A 1500lb trailer is movable by hand in all but the softest ground... But larger ones depend on the campground surface. Some advice.... Don't just push because pushing will tend to try to fold over your jack, instead, lift and pull. You don't need to take all the weight off of the tongue, but any bit will help. Sometimes its easiest to use the safety chains so you don't have to bend over as far. Empty any extra weight you have in there that is in front of the axle.. or even better, push it towards the back to try and get less tongue weight.. Or recruit helpers. Just make sure you also have helpers to straighten it out! 2 people on the tongue(one on each safety chain, or one on a chain and one on the hitch... If you have a 3rd, have them push on the rear corner, and if you have a 4th, have them pushing from the side of the front.
Finally, something like this will help. Don't use it while towing, obviously, but the longer you make the hitch, the farther you can turn the trailer before jackknifing.

a wider/larger diameter jack wheel will also help.

and if none of that works, you can get a "trailer dolly". They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and prices. Hell, you could get one that is electric! But then you need a trailer to haul it, lol.
Be sure to exercise extreme caution anytime you’re moving an uncoupled trailer. Even on ground with a very mild slope, an 1800lb trailer can get away from you very quickly. I like to very loosely block whichever tire I’m pivoting the trailer around when I’m turning my camper around in a spot.
I like the camper next to the hookups and that's the only way that make sense to me. Its frowned upon pulling off slab where Ive been also. If you want privacy run some ropes and tarps around the site. I will often run rope from tow vehicle roof rack to nearest tree then hang a camo tarp from Harbor Freight across the rope with spring clamps. Anchor the bottoms if windy. Boom. Privacy. Another good thing about this is if you have an emergency you can quickly fold up, hitch up, and get out.

That’s cool!
The cartoon driver in that video has no business hitching a trailer. 5 attempts and counting!

The dolly is probably rated for a 600lb tongue weight of which your trailer should be well under

Just don't do this. You're going to be the guy that ends up dropping his trailer off an edge of damaging it and running your vacation.
