As far as parking your trailer on a sloped driveway, one doesn't need to go to extremes to prevent any trailer from inadvertently rolling away - simply use the weight of the trailer bearing down on a set of wheel pads with chocks affixed to the pads, just as I've already illustrated, to prevent the trailer from rolling forward. It's a simple concept and it works. :p

Under ordinary circumstances I would agree, but my driveway is so oddly sloped at different angles, I felt the added cable winch gave me a little more peace of mind. I can have the tongue of my trailer over 40" in the air with the jack fully extended on a large platform that I made and the trailer still doesn't sit level from front to back. Even with all 4 tires chocked, I still put the cable on it just for added protection, especially when it gets windy.
Our current trailer is just 22' 6" coupler to bumper and with it leveled front to back, the tongue jack extended about 18" and sitting on an additional 18" stack, the rear bumper is only about 8" off the driveway while the tongue is at least 3'.
Our previous trailer measured 26' 9" coupler to bumper so it's tongue was even higher with the trailer leveled yet in both cases I used this same technique to absolutely secure the trailer in place so it can't possibly shift ... it's own weight guarantees it. :)
