Just for clarification........
When you park do you have to sharpy maneuver your 5th wheel?
OR
Is parking straight back ?in or pull in?
Tight , sharp maneuvering with 'jack' axles/tires cockeyed until you pull straight
Yes, we know cockeyed wheels. We have a tight 90 degree turn completely on blacktop backing onto a 200 foot driveway. At the end of the driveway is another sharp 90 degree turn onto a newer mostly level gravel 80 foot pad but wheel stress is much less. I have tried using the X-chock on both the blacktop and the gravel after "unloading" the stress on the wheels. Whatever has happened seems to be "permanent".
When I tried the X-chock at the shop the rig was sitting on a gravel parking lot that was very icy and therefore very low on friction and pretty level. Had the same result there too.
