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

  • Use real chocks on the tires so it dosen't move. The x type ones say they are not to hold the camper in place or something to that effect on them. They do work , with the normal ones, for better stabilizing of the camper. So more to prevent rocking, and not for keeping it from rolling away.
  • By "wheel stops", are you referring to the expanding chocks that fit between the tires? The only brand to use as chocks, IMO of course, are the Roto-Choks, and they don't make those any more. I've read that the expanding between-the-tire chocks can pop out under stress.

    I use a couple of heavy duty rubber chocks from Harbor Freight. I'll go back to my Roto-Choks when I modify them to fit the new trailer wheel spacing.
