Just how did he get it up that high in the first place to get the cribbing under there? CRAZY!!!

Chocks work best when the wheels are touching the ground :B

(Okay, at least the rear of the tandem wheels are indeed touching the ground in the picture, and the front ones may be but there's clearly not a lot of pressure on them.)

So long as the cribbing is properly done, this should be quite acceptably safe. I'm not sure I trust the cribbing here; it looks rather tippy. It would be a lot better with a larger base area.

Heck, they should also be chocking the wheels of their garbage containers...:E

That is just scary, I don't see chocks but a length of heavy chain tied between the wheels.

Wow! :E And I thought my driveway sloped noticeably to the street! :W

I always level our trailer when parked here at the house so I can use it between trips and so I can safely operate the fridge in preparation for the next trip. Doing so means that while the bumper is less than a foot off the ground the tongue is about 3 feet ... nowhere nearly as extreme as that shown in the OP's pic but I still wouldn't rely on chocks alone to secure the trailer. Instead, I built my own system that uses the weight of the trailer itself bearing down on a set of wheel pads to ensure our trailer absolutely can't shift in the slightest.

Not if you're in Australia which is probably where this camper is.
