Chocks or lack of ??
We have been camping since last Saturday. I noticed almost 50% of the travel trailers and fivers without chocks being used. OK the sites were mostly level and paved, but I would have never considered ...

We were eating lunch one day and were observing our neighbor hitching up his travel trailer. It was not chocked and the front jack was up about 7" on a few other pieces of wood probably 2x4's .
He had a suburban and obviously not very good judgement. He kept backing up and pulling forward to get it aligned. I told my wife to keep looking. Sure enough he bumped into the jack and knocked it off the wood. I ate my last bite of sandwich and went out to help him out. Luckily "I" had a jack. The ground was soft and his jack sank 6" into the ground. Jacked him up and helped him hook up. I did ask him to chock the wheels first. I wondered if he would think about it next time he setup.
He didn't say much, thanked me and drove off.
