Wheel chock question

When setting up a single axle tt where the site is not exactly level, what is the best way to chock a wheel that is elevated on a Lego or other type of block under the downhill wheel? A newbe question.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Been using a homemade version of these for 3 years, now. Wouldn't travel without them.

    Can't beat a BAL Single Tire Locking Chock ... fully adjustable so it won't ever slip out of position as can plastic chocks. This pic shows mine used on a single axle popup but it works just as well with any single axle trailer. :)



    Safest solution for a single axle trailer.
  • ^ That is a really neat device!! Simple and performs 2 jobs at once! I have never seen it before but now I am very tempted to try!

    Lynx Stop-n-Chock ... problem is, depending on tire size they often don't snug tightly against the tire and thereby still allow the trailer to rotate on the axle. Lousy solution IMO.

  • You have to have enough legos to build a platform in front and in back of the tire so you can put the chocks in.
  • This is why I use 2X12's about 3 feet long. Plenty of room to chock the tire.
