Do you chock your wheels?

I always chock one front tire. With children on board, there's always a chance of someone pushing in that attractive yellow button on the dash. If there's still air in the tanks, now the brakes are off. When the brakes are off, the levelers automatically rise...and we're rolling baby!



Edited for grammar :)

I'm a retired truck driver and I can't get out of the habit of chocking my wheels 24/7/365! Chocking paid off for me several years ago while camping in a State Park, my coach was parked at a campsite and a run away truck hit my coach at 5 AM and my coach didn't move forward or backward (because the wheels were chocked) from a very hard hit that caused lots of damage to my coach.

We never chock but also never lift the rear wheels either. Sometimes the front come up while leveling but its rare and I still don't chock.

Was thinking about this over the weekend. Now if you ever have to raise any or all tires off the ground (not sure how that could happen) the jacks are still on the ground keeping it fromn going anywhere. Even if the jacks fail the tires are still going to catch it. My point is there is always something stationary holding the coach. Granted the front wheels can roll, but how in the world would it go anywhere with 2 jacks on the ground in the rear? That said, I did get a little rocking when I had both my fronts up once. I suspect the jacks fully extended they can get some natural movement. Might be worth using chocks to keep the jacks straight. But I can't quite figure out it would ever go anywhere. Maybe I am missing something.

Yes if I have to lift one of the rear tires more than I am comfortable with. In that situation, I chock on both sides of the rear tire that is still holding the full weight. That is very rare though.

Normally no, but yes if on a very steep grade.

Yep. But probably not the reasons you're posting about. I place a chock in rear of tires and on both sides.
--If we have take rv anywhere I can back up into the exact same spot.
--When I pick up chocks to leave, I'm doing a visual of tire.

I really like 4x4's as chocks. They make good (not great) chocks and good chunks of wood for other things. They are also the first thing kids mess with, so a good indicator if somebody has been messing around.

Just me the "Odd ball"

As a side note I got marked down in a professional truck driving contest once. (Hosted by Fed Dot and state). I placed a chock in front of front tire like I always did when at a customers dock. Just out of habit I guess. Judges marked me down, I could believe it and they explained that proper placement of a chock is to block the direction of travel of vehicle. Fed guy went on to explain, Wheel chocks properly placed should be in direction of travel should gravitational forces not be prevented by other means. (Like a parking brake).

How that for simply "chock your tires in the direction your rv might roll? And if your not sure, chock fore and aft.

We keep wheels on the ground
we never chock wheels

Nope!

But my tires are usually on the ground up front, and always on the ground in the back.

Thanks guys. We just bought a 2014 Entegra Aspire from Pharr Rv in Lubbock. They treated us great , no run around, very honest and up front. I would highly recommend.
