Wheel Stop vs Wheel Chocks
What’s the general consensus of what’s best to use, regular wheel chocks or the wheel stops? I don’t see many people using the wheel stops. Thank you in advance

Whatever you use remember two things
Chock before you unhook
Remove chocks after you hook up
I have seen what happens when people forget.. both those things (Flying plastic bouncing off very expensive motor homes and possibly causing injury in the 2nd case... Rig headed toward the lake in the first... thankfully there was grass once it rolled off the pad and the jack dug in and stopped it. HINT to stop trailer fraster. Do not pull the safety chains, do not push/pull the Trailer itself. Pull on the break away cable. if the battery is good that'll stop it .. SWIFTLY.
