Wheel chocks (scotch blocks)

What brand / model wheel chocks do you guys use for your larger Class A's? Most of the ones I see online look cheap and under-sized.

Thanks for your input.

    That's what I use every time. Been around fire trucks a good portion of my life and we ALWAYS chock the wheels when we stop. Figured it was a good practice for my RV as well.


    Chock

    Have use both these styles on my semi-trailers. Normally airbrake (parking brake) are sufficient but if you need a chock, I would recommend either of the above chocks.
  • I have one similar to the one in 10forty2's link. I got it at the Iowa80 truck store in Joplin, MO. We often dump our holding tanks at a visitor center near home when returning from a trip. Their dump station is on an incline and I just prefer to chock the rear wheels.
  • Northern Tool has one very similar to the one 10forty2 linked on Clearance sale for $7.49. Just sayin.

  • If we are parked where we worry about rolling, we use a large rubber construction vehicle chock. It is about 6" tall and 12" wide. Most of the time, we don't worry.
  • The air brakes work fine for parking since I never camp in steep areas. If I had to stop in a steep area for some reason, I have home made pads for under the leveling jacks that I use in soft areas. They're 4" thick (I tend to overbuild things) and could be used to chock the wheels.

    I do not use any, the airbrake system does a great job.
    Anywhere you can get a large Diesel pusher is not going to be that steep.
