It is possible that over hours or days they loosen up as the tires cool off. I do not retighten them before hitching up. I'll check that next time.

You can make your own

If they don't keep your trailer from moving you have them too loose or maybe the wrong size. There is no way my toyhauler is moving with the RotoChoks in place unless I drag the wheels. That puppy is solid.

IMO if I could move my trailer with the RotoChoks in place I'd be looking for something different. Why would you want the RotoChoks, and separate wheel chocks to keep the trailer from rolling?

You could be. I paid $150 for the pair.

their main function/design is is to serve as a wedge chock to keep RV from rolling. Is that correct? I thought providing stability was their intended purpose.

They don't keep my RV from moving when hitching up. Now, whether that's the tires actually skidding I'm not sure.

I bought them to help stop the rocking motion when parked. They're made so well I expect them to last many more years.

The "Cadillac of wheel chocks" assures you of total stability when your trailer/fifth wheel is parked. These are a top quality tandem wheel locking unit. They look good and they work good. Definitely high end stops for your unit!

Locks wheels & decreases rocking motion
Quick and easy to install, NO adjustments
Just 9-1/2" high when closed for storage
High density poly plastic body plates that can be replaced if tire spacing changes
All machined metal parts are anodized aluminum or stainless steel
Reduces stress and strain on stabilizers
A must for 5th wheel coaches and trailers
Can be padlocked
For maximum stability we recommend a ROTOCHOK on both sides of your rig

As I initially thought, After a bit of reading it seems Roto Choks a designed to be more than a simple wheel Chock. Roto Choks are designed with stability in mind. Is there primary purpose a wheel Chok? I would agree yes however they are designed to provide stability as well which is what made them such a quality desired product. They worked as a simple Chock while providing stability
I think where we disagree is on the idea that a product like JT Strong Arms presented direct competition for Roto Choks.
As the quoted marketing literature above reveals, providing stability is an important feature of the Roto Chok.
Roto Chok was/is a quality product and its demise is the result of the passing of the owners who provided superior customer service and not the result of competition.
Nevertheless multi directional stabilizers are game changers and will present real competition to anyone looking to revive Roto Choks.
Multi directional stabilizers have made king pin tripods obsolete and have become the premier way of stabilizing RV trailers vs. the various between the tires methods.

I spoke to David not long ago and he still had some to sell but not many. Hr said the patten was caught up in a legal mess and didn't know if we'd ever see them again.

OK 150.00 for a pair an their main function/design is is to serve as a wedge chock to keep RV from rolling. Is that correct? I thought providing stability was their intended purpose.

Nope, that's why the name says RotoChoks, and not RotoStabilizers.
