Wheel Chocks with levelers on double axel travel trailer

So using the lego style levelers on 2 wheels, what do people use for wheel chocks. The wedge style seems to like the wouldn't hold with that set up. Is the scissor type wheel chock my only option?

I did the same thing, cheap and easy to make. Works great.

Yes, definitely get these if you are going to be camping anywhere with any type of moderate grade. I would go with the real deal tandem over wedges.
4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

My preferred method is a set of adjustable BAL Standard Tire Locking Chocks -



Unfortunately the axle spread on our current trailer is a bit too narrow to fit the adjustable chocks so I instead use rubber chocks secured in place with hardwood spacers -



BAL X-Chocks are only intended to minimize suspension movement when walking around inside the camper, NOT to actually chock it -

There are many tandem axle wheel chocks out there.

Just Google "tandem wheel chocks".

Wouldn't camp without them.

I have found that if I build the "block" platform a little larger than needed I can get the chocks in strong enough to hold. Basically the chock has to sit level.

I do as others.. chock the off side (opposite lego levelers), and I also use X Chocks on both axles to stabilize the trailer.

I love my Andersen Ultimate package, everything you need in one place.

You can also get Andersen Levelers separately.

I use an X-Chock on the lifted side and if a wedge chock can go down on top of the built up pad I will do that too. Trailers can roll sideways too if one side is not chocked and on even a moderate slope. I had that happen and thankfully it stopped after a few inches....and the slope was not that bad.

Unless you are parked on a substantial slope, two chocks on the non-level side will hold you. Remember, the tongue jack also is down.

Safest practice is a scissor chock on the leveled side and chocks on the other.

I use two chocks (front & back)on the side that does not need lifted to level. That way the chocks remain on the ground.

We have a single axle, so the scissor type is not an option.
