Maybe in case the trailer were to roll or shift a bit this would prevent it from being damaged. These are not to be used as wheel chocks they are to prevent movement fore and aft after proper chocking and set-up.

For one, if I have my one side up on stackers like I mentioned, regular wheel chocks won't work, as the wheels are not on the ground.

Even If the other side was very secure, the trailer could move a little, leaving the wheels hanging off one side of the stackers.

Maybe it's because I only have a 22' light weight TT, but I can't imagine the X-chock breaking. Looks pretty tough to me. It stays rock solid when I un-hitch, and keeps the wheels right in the middle of the stacker blocks like I left them.

Use whatever system that works for you but there are some people that will set up on a drastic slope and expect these things to keep a 15,000# rv from rolling down hill. The company says they are not meant to be installed until unhitched for this very reason. They aren't meant to chock the camper in this way. I would NOT want to depend on this chock alone to keep my 15,000#+ FW from rolling down a hill. If I have to crib up one side of my camper with the orange blocks I make sure there are enough extending beyond the tires for me to use my proper chocks at each of the 4 wheels, then after I unhook I install the X-chock. I never have the wheels resting on a single block wide. The way I've done it for several years and works for me. Tim

OK, If I'm following you, you have an extra stacker block next to the one your wheels are sitting on, on the down hill side. You then place the regular chock on the stacker, level with the bottom of the wheels, right?

This should work, as long as the stackers don't go sliding, which might be possible if you're sitting on something slick, like concrete. Not sure.

I would have my other side secured with a chock per wheel, on the ground, anyway. I just need two more chocks.
