I wish you good luck!!!   
I have heard/read that these types of chocks do help to stabilize and I've heard/read that they don't make a difference      
Either way, it's a good chock to have and we are considering buying one.  Anyone else want to share their experience?

[bcrewcaptain]

I think they'll do fine, I'm also going to make a set of these as well to compare

I made some of those for the last camper, worked okay,

I made these instead for the new one...



Okay I lied, I bought them!! Good grief! I told ya'll I'm lazy!!   

[bcrewcaptain]

haha...lazy vs cheap...I have scrap wood and time...just not the $$

[Reed K]

Okay I admit it, I'm not the do-it-yourself kinda guy!! These were on sale, 2 for the price of 1, so I couldn't beat that...

[bcrewcaptain]

coulda just got one for half price..camper won't roll away then...worst case is it spins around 180*

Do you still have the second one?

Yep, Use one on each side

I still wanna know, from those of you who have used both, if this type of wheel chock makes the camper more stable than the standard "behind the wheel" type???  Opinions?
Thanks in advance for any input....

I'll let ya know next weekend since I'll be camping on a mountain
I would think it would as it locks tight and against the other wheel, I would guess the type that I posted that is centered on the wheel will be even better albeit a bit more work to get cinched down.

How did you like the wheel chocks?  Did you notice significantly less "bouncing" when walking around in the trailer? 
Hope your camping trip was good.

I'll let you know after this weekend...I didn't use them last time, heck, I was lazy and never even unhooked from the truck
just put down the 4 stabilizers+tongue jack and called it a day.
 I've had it on in the driveway though, it's hard to tell though, I have a stabilizer on the very end of each corner so it keeps the movement down anyway, the main advantage is going to be when I have one side or the other up on the blocks.

Thanks for that info.   Can't blame you for minimizing "set-up" last weekend...tooooo hot!

See you need a "I'm here" button, so all you gotta do is get out your chair.
