Bal x chock extended vs Fastway ONEstep chock

Does anyone have experience with either of these products used to chock tires and minimize movement inside trailer?
The Fastway seems easier to use.
Our trailer is the Keystone Passport Ultralight 2810bh.

Thanks!

Chock

Hello, I have the Fastway chocks and love them. They're really easy to use.

I use the fastway on the uphill side of the camper and use the bal x chock on the downhill side. I am happy with the setup.

I've used these since about 2007. They kept my 36' 12,000 pound Jayco solid:

Fastway for me. Easy and quick on and off.

I use the x-tended Bal chocks. I will say they don't completely remove movement, but they work good. I usually use my power drill to run them out a bit before putting them on. My buddy who owns a rockwood has the short bal ones, and his trailer has less movement than ours. But that could have something to do with not having spread axles (this is why he can use the short bal chocks) or that our trailer sits up a bit higher than his. Not really sure.

I have used both. Fastway Onestep (xl) for my last trailer which had wide axle spacing. I currently use X-chock on my Cougar. I liked both because they did their jobs. But I can't say if one is better, since they were used on different trailers.

Fastway by far is the best and locks the best.

Step on for install, and pull loop to remove. How simple can it get? No cranking and no trailer movement, either. Plus, you can use it for a regular chock on the TV, if needed.
