Anyone use Rotochok's?

I'm getting ready to order a pair and the spacing between the tires on both my 76 Sovereign and 94 Classic measure 5 1/2 inches. Is this standard spacing for all models?

No, they ask you what the spacing is and send the right size that you need. I have a pair of them and love them. Good luck .

Cheap Way

Make your own cheap.............

Measure distance between tires at closest point. Get 4x4 (wood) cut opposing 45 degree angles with short distance equal to measurement above. Repeat...same measurements.

Place between tires..opposing, short sides facing each other, measure distance between each outside to outside, drill holes in each, optain carriage bolt and nut, place through two pieces and tighten.......paint to suit.......cost for two about 9 bucks.

Best product I have to hold the trailer. They help to stabilize the trailer when we are camped and they are fabulous when hooking up with the hensley. The trailer cannot move when hitching up.

They are also very easy to use, my wife usually does the chocking when we arrive at a campsite.

They are also well constructed. I don't see anything in them that will ever wear out

We have a pair of these. http://www.campingworld.com/browse/s...m?skunum=11109
Bought them when they were on sale last year for around $80 for the pair. Gives you a good feeling when the wheels are on the levelers that they are not going to move. CW also carries these: http://www.campingworld.com/browse/s...4&skunum=26563 , but I would stay away from them, they are not as well made and have several bad reviews. It looks like the Rotochok's are a quality product as well.
