What do you guys use as wheel chocks for a single axle trailer? I've been using a store bought plastic chock in front and back on both sides of the trailer. These seems to move around some and get loose over time. On my previous dual axle trailers, I had a homemade chock made from 2 4x4 wedges that I put in between the tires and tightened a wing nut on a threaded rod.
Thanks!
I had the same issue with my coyote, what I found is a DIY solution that works really well. It is a home made wheel chocks that we use on our airplane. They are simply made out of 2x4s, Screw and glue 3 15"-18" pieces of 2x4 together in a U shape with open end of the U slightly wider than the closed end (measure it around your trailers tire) place on the ground so that the open end is hugging the tire and tap into place with a rubber mallet, so that the tire is wedged into the chock. They hold tight and really take nearly all of the movement out of the trailer. I painted mine so I could see them and help them last longer, they work great and were nearly free as I had all the material on hand already
