I've also been considering these products. I often come out of these threads more confused than when I started them and this one is no different........:h
I think there are some people here in desperate need of a camping trip. I have tried the X-Chocks, my in-laws have them. They worked great, stopped the majority of the rocking (foreward and aft rotation of the tires when people move inside) in the camper. It didn't feel like a house on a foundation, but it felt much better.
I didn't like that the X-Chocks require re-tightening after the tires cool. My slide is over the tires and I am tall. It was a pain in the neck (especially on gravel or wet sites) to climb underneath and tighten the X-chocks again.
I've seen the ONEsteps and they appear to accomplish the same task, preventing the fore and aft rotation of tires. They don't require adjustment when the tires cool. They were also a little cheaper AND serve as actual chocks.
I used the ONEstep this weekend and it felt great. It stopped the majority of the fore and aft rotation, very much like the X-Chocks did. I couldn't feel the dogs walking around when I was in bed. A trip to the bathroom didn't wake up the kids. It accomplished every thing I hoped that it would. I was very pleased with the ONEstep chocks. You have to get them snug against the tires to prevent them from rocking/rolling, but they worked great.
Again... I've tested these against the X-Chocks on the exact same trailer, exact same family, exact same dogs, exact same camp site. The end result was just about the EXACT SAME.
Hopefully camping season starts soon and some of these winter time arguers will find something else to occupy their time.
