All you need is the standard chocks. I got rid of my x-chocks after they allowed the trailer to roll forward as it came off of the tongue block.

X-chocks are ment to stabilize the back and forth rocking motion of the trailer once it is set up. They are not ment to take the place of regular wheel chocks for parking it.

I didn't know that. I've been using X's for a couple of years now and I can't even make the trailer roll with them attached. Are some trailers more susceptible to rolling while X-chocked than others? Under what circumstances is the trailer at risk of rolling with X's attached?

I dont know of any trailer that has rolled with x-chocks properly applied. The x-chocks came with a note in the box stating they were an aid to stabilization and to not rely solely on them to prevent trailer wheel movement. It also said to unhook and level up the trailer before putting them on, and to take them off before hooking up. There is no way that i am going to unhook and level up my trailer with out having wheels blocked so.............
