importance of wheel chocks
a brand new cedar creek was loading up to go home, the guy never chocked his wheels, so when he was backing in a little high the trailer should have rose up to hitch instead he pushed it off the block...

Curious as to why it was on blocks? I can't think of any reason why someone would stack blocks under the landing gear that were taller than the bedrail clearance distance, sounds like a shakey practice.
I use blocks, the landing gear does not extend far enough. Plus it saves cranking time although I admit that is a poor excuse.;)I am anal about using chocks, I want to make sure that trailer stays put until I am ready to move it.
Yep. I am in the same boat. I HAVE to use blocks as my landing gear doesn't extent far enough without them. But I am religious about my chocks. Its a pain in the ass, but I carry a total of 4 cinder blocks. Two for the landing and two for the stabilizers.
