Best chocks for auto leveling system?
We just bought a Jayco Eagle with the Lippert Ground Control 3 4-point leveling system. Is it better to use basic yellow wedge chocks or can in-between tire chocks be used (and are the better)?

x-chocks between the tires are for stability. Their instructions say to add them AFTER you have leveled.
I use both regular chocks behind last axle and in front of first axle. Then I unhook (the trailer does move so I need those chocks there). Then we level. Then x-chocks if we're going to use them. I also have Steadyfast on my trailer.
There are times when I hook back up to the truck that one of the chocks is wedged under the tire. I have to pull forward a tad or backward to release pressure on it to loosen enough for my kid or wife to remove it.
I have to be pretty level before I use the self leveling system. The system is not designed for the wheels to be off the ground -- it needs the wheels to take some of the weight. Therefore, I use us the Andersen Camper Leveler to get the trailer almost level. These are easy to use and fast.
