Wheel Chock - Looking for recommendation

[Oregon_Camper]

Our BH 3160 is finally home!!

Looking to replace our old yellow plastic chocks with something a bit more heavy duty.

Just looking for advise on which chocks everyone is using?

We built our own from 4x4 but there are heavy duty ones out there. They are used mostly for trucks. They look like this but I am not sure if this is them. Try a truck stop.

I just bought a pair at Harbor Freight. Solid rubber composition and they were $9.00 each.

I use these on the down slope side of the wheel because the bottoms are designed grip the pavement/ground. I found the yellow ones had a tendency to slide on pavement.

Roto Chocks. These are available on line only and they are expensive but the work great.

The X-Chock is sold as a stabilizer but it gets the job done. They do interfere with tire covers a little

Using X-Chocks here. I like them and have had no problems.

I make my own from 4x6. I contoured them to match my tires. No one bothers them. They are inexpensive to make. I have stacked them on their side to use as blocking for leveling jacks and used them to level blocks on heavily angled sites to help level the jacks. I have ran over them and they do not compress or get damaged easily.

X3 for X-Chocks. Not only act as chocks, but excellent stabilizer.

I have 4 of the hard rubber ones from Harbor Freight and they stay where you put them....I do my pull test with them in place they do not move. I have seen the plastic ones get blown away in high winds....

Bought 4 from H Freight and attached 1/4 braided rope long enough to drape over tires when installed. The eye bolts on end were a nice feature. When ready to go, just grab the rope on top of tire and pull them out. Yea, I got the idea off of this forum.

X chock is the way to go. I have a pair that I no longer need as my new rig has the level-up. We get to Portland once in a while or I could bring them to the Oregon rally if you go for about half the retail price. http://www.campingworld.com/shopping/item/x-chock-tire-locking-chock-2-pack/49876

I also have the 6 point "level up" (from LCI) but I still think I need to chock the tires....right?

You just need a heavy duty rubber wedge chock for your tug test. I use two, both on the drivers side. One for hitching (behind the rear wheel) and one for the tug test (in front of the front wheel). I put them in place every time I disconnect. The 6-point takes the added stability of the x-chock out of the equation.

Another vote for Rotochoks. They are expensive but well worth the money as they also act as great stabilizers.

Howdy!

I also use the heavy duty rubber one from Harbir freight.
