Why would you not just jam a single chock ahead of the downhill tire on each side, and be done with it? Its not like your trailer will roll away uphill.
Campsites don't always slope in just one direction, in fact can be quite uneven, creating a situation where one side of the trailer may want to roll forward while the opposite side wants to roll back. Having once had a trailer get away on me years ago I always chock in both directions, regardless of whether anyone else deems it necessary. :R
I don't know how you took my comment as deeming anything towards you, but at the same time I have never had a trailer roll in two different directions or pivot on the suspension axis. Camping in the central PA mountains I have yet to see a level site. I guess anything can happen however, like attempting to park on a 2 to 1 slope that breaks in two directions directly under your axles, and anything can also be over complicated as much as a person cares to over complicate it.
