Found a new style of wheel chock that finally works with the narrow space between our Cyclone's tires. It's called the X-Chock from BAL Products.
I tried to use the BAL Deluxe chock (first attachment) but found that the distance between our tires will change according to how the suspension happens to be sitting at any given time and they had to be forced between the tires at times.
SHORT STORY: I was worried that my the axles were out of alignment because all of a sudden my chocks wouldn't fit. Took the rig in for its 1-year warranty work and because I didn't trust the dealership, I didn't believe the dealership. At Goshen this year, the Lippert techs explained to me how, especially and multiplied on a tri-axle, that all the moving parts: springs, hangers, equalizers, and shackle links move independently and can "conspire" to giive you different tire gap measurements that make you think your suspension is either loose or the axles are no longer aligned.
Okay back to the original intent of this post: These new X-Chocks (2nd & 3rd attachments) retract to a mere 1-3/8" so that I have no problems getting them between the tires! While this isn't the same as say the JT Strongarms or the Level-up System (I will have that someday) these chocks are this poor man's way of dealing with the rocking Cyclone! No gutter minds, please!
