? Chocking to "Stabilize" Question?
Just finished reading some posts reference chocking the wheels to "stabilize" the RV... Stabilize? I don't get it - someone please explain. I see how wedges, x-chocks or whatever hold an RV in ...

I do exactly as wowens79. I chock the back of the rear set of tires (both sides), back up a tad more to add a bit of pressure to those back chocks and set the park brake (if by myself), then chock the front of the front tires.
The cradling adds enough pressure (if you back up enough) that the suspension doesn't bounce at all and the side to side twisting around that center is eliminated. I do that first then I tighten my side to side DIY frame stabilizers (front and back).
I learned to do this with my wide spaced axles that x-chock type products don't work well with, and aren't any more effective than the cradling effects.
