JMO but the absolute best way to secure any dual axle trailer is to use a set of adjustable BAL Dual Axle Chocks, chocking both the low side and high side tires, regardless of what those tires are sitting on.
Unfortunately my current rig has an especially narrow axle spread that doesn't offer sufficient space between the tires to fit the BAL Chocks so I now use rubber chocks secured in position with hardwood spacers ... same principle, just not quite as convenient.
Using BAL X-Chocks, or any in-between tire chock that isn't sitting on a hard, flat surface is the worst thing you could do since tires shrink as they cool and X-Chocks that were initially snug will loosen to the point where they can even fall out of position. Norco even includes this warning note in every box of X-Chocks, not to rely on their product to actually secure the trailer, or as it's phrased not to use the X-Chock as a "parking brake".
Instead, I use my X-Chocks for the purpose for which they were designed - to minimize camper "wiggle" caused by the wheels rotating on their axis, and for that they do help a lot. :B
