What wheel chocks is everybody using

[smpremier]

And how much do you like them? I'm looking at getting something better than those cheap plastic ones that I have now and want something better and safer. Any suggestions?

I use a set of BAL X chocks that I bought in '08 for my previous fiver. I use them in conjunction with my rear stab jacks and tripod king pin stabilizer. Works great for me and the DW.

I use the ONEstep, from Fastway.

They have worked well, so far.

I use the yellow triangle ones when we initially get in and unhook. Once level and my stab jacks are down I install my extended X-chocks. They work well for my DW &America but when the grands are with us I don't think anything will stop the rocking. It's a lot of fun though.

X2 on the BAL X Chocks. Used to use the Camco Wheel Stop along with the yellow wedge, but the X Chock is much easier and quicker to install and does a better job. With the ratcheting wrench that comes with it, you can install them in about 20 seconds and remove them even quicker. They pretty much eliminate wheel roll, the only movement you get is suspension rock.

SM, let me play devil's advocate here. What might be unsafe about a big yellow piece of plastic in front and behind your tires? Eight bucks apiece at CW and away you go. Anything other than that is probably overkill. At 68 years old I have been at this towing business for about 50 years and I haven't seen a mishap yet.

Recycled rubber chocks from H F. I think $6.99.

These are all really great suggestions by everyone and I apologize for implying that the yellow chocks were unsafe. They are very safe. I just brought my 26 premier home and where it's parked isn't exactly level and I was looking for something that would help keep it from rolling down a slight decline.

If that's all you're looking for, get the large yellow plastic ones or just make a set of aircraft style chocks. Just get a 4x4, cut four 1' pieces, taper cut the top, and add some rope to make them easy to pull. They basically look like these and can be made for about $10.

I use the Anderson Levelors with the chock that is included.

Our concrete driveway has a 5 degree incline from the street. I found that rubber chocks are best for my situation since plastic slides on concrete whereas rubber grips. Here is the rubber chock I use in front of each wheel:

For extra peace of mind I wrap a wire cable though each wheel on each side of the TT:

And connect the able ends with this link which is quick and easy to remove when it is time to leave:

(Note the angle of the equalizer relative to the bottom of the skirt to get a sense of the incline I am parked on. The trailer is level.)

I bought a 4X4 and cut 4 chocks. Added a handle from Ace. Then push the auto-level button and all is well.

Fastway Onestep and Andersen levelers if leveling required.

Count me in the "cut a chunk of wood" crowd. I used a 4x6 tall post and a circular saw. Then I got fancy and spray painted them yellow with a rattle can. Took about 30 minutes from beginning to end.

On my utility trailers I use the HF rubber chocks (used to be $7). I found that wood seems to slide on gravel, where the rubber chock doesn't so much on my slight downslope. Maybe painting them yellow is the trick. "bouncey:

This is what I use. About $1.25 in each one.

Andersen levelers and rubber chocks as mentioned. Good grip from rubber and the andersens put the tire in brace so to speak. I have a 3-4% grade to my drive way and this gives me no issues.

Had my trailer in for service once, they chocked it with the cheap plastic black chocks I had. Then the guy went to move it, not seeing them against the tire and crushed them. They replaced them with cheap plastic orange ones that can't be missed.

But I use x-chocks on mine.
