What do you guys use for chocking?
As already mentioned BAL X-Chocks, despite the name, aren't intended to actually chock the trailer to prevent it from shifting but rather to cut down on suspension wiggle when walking around inside the camper. IMO nothing beats a set of BAL Adjustable Tire Chocks for safely chocking any dual axle trailer -
However, if your axle spread is such that the tires are greater than ~ 22" apart at ground level this wouldn't work for you. I have the opposite problem, an axle spread on our FE 192RBS of just 29" so the BAL adjustable chocks just won't crank down short enough to fit between the tires. My alternative was a set of four rubber chocks from Princess Auto and although I prefer the security of locking each set in place with hardwood spacers they'd probably stay put without since they're heavy rubber and don't slide as do plastic chocks.
CONGRATS on your new Freedom Express! :B
