I've tried those yellow plastic V shaped wedges but they still allow movement when walking around in the trailer.

I don't think any kind of wheel chocks are going to solve the issue you have described. IMO 95% of the movement inside a trailer when walking around is from simple tire sidewall flex and suspension and you will only get rid of or reduce that by taking tension off those two sources of movement.

I know some say some of these fancier chocks help, but IMO I think a lot of that preceived improvement is from the Placebo Syndrome and not from actual improvement, but that is just my unsupported opinion.

My wife would heartily disagree as she always insists I use our set of BAL X-Chocks, which according to her do significantly minimize trailer "wiggle" when walking around inside the camper. No, they won't do much for lateral movement but they do noticeably reduce rotational movement about the axis of the axles and along with properly tensioning the stabs we find our rig about as reasonably stable as it could be short of taking it off it's suspension entirely. :B

Notice I specifically mentioned "fancier" chocks and just normal chocking of both wheels on each side using the cheapo run of the mill chocks would accomplish I would wager about 75% or better as much as the much more expensive and fancier chocks like the BAL X-Chocks.

My main point is proper "FRAME SUPPORT" near the axles will minimize or eliminate "ALL SOURCES" of wiggle/movement/etc. and not just one like the BAL X-Chocks.
