Looking at these chocks for the new rig we pick it up May first.. Jayco 29 BHS.. Would 1 work or do I need them on both sides? On the old TT 26 footer I used just the plastic chocks front and back on curb side.. I hear the new one rocks a bit more so that is why I ask.. Thanks Open to other suggestions

I was wondering that myself while I was looking at all the chocks.

Dh thinks regular wheel chocks are fine, but I have heard these TTs move alot.. I DO like gadgets. I want them.

I use my X Chock more for isolating front to back movement after set up. It works well for this purpose. I still use the plastic tire chocks all around. I'm only using one X Chock. You will get different opinions to your question.
