x-chock Tire Locking Chock

Could somebody tell me the pros & cons of x- chocks verses orange chocks for a tandem wheel fifth wheel? I know you have to chock your wheels before you disconnect, but putting this kind of chock on is hole new game. A more money. I'm looking for side to side shaking too.

    I use X-chocks and am very happy with them. If they are installed properly, meaning TIGHT against both tires, the wheels will not roll forward or reward without great force being applied. Simple design that works effectively to help eliminate fore and aft movement. X-chocks used along with regular wheel chocks in front of and behind both sets of wheels makes for a very stabil RV.

    X2-They are excellent.
  • I just bought a pair at a parts sale. Still paid $100. for a pair but am glad I bought them. It is a lot more solid when walking around inside. Well worth the price.
  • I have a set and they do help to keep movement down. They are pricey though. The cheapest I've seen them was Camping Workd for $39.99 each

  • I'll fall in the middle; they will hold the trailer from rolling when properly applied, and removed much of the bounce and general movement from my unit.
  • I disagree with the previous poster. The x chocks won't do anything to take the bounce out of your floor. They will stop the front to back movement but not side to side. I have a set and love em.
