#1 Ruined a perfectly good aluminum between the tires chock that came with my 73 by not checking it was removed before driving off. They hold good.

#2 Figuring I don't really need chocks anyway, unhitched on a very slight incline without chocking. And yes, those aluminum wheely thingys that fit on the bottom of your jack really do roll good. Picture me thinking I could stop a 5000# trailer in motion by grabbing hold of the A frame. No damage other than the split in the seat of my pants and ego, but slid off into a ditch and took a good deal of jacking with a bottle jack to get her hitched up again.

Not to spoil your day, but there is the emergency trailer BRAKE pin.... just pull it out by the wire...

Uh... nevermind.

Hi, I do think that in the picture with the yellow chocks, blocked between the wheels, you don't have to worry about them slipping out of place. [good idea]

You will need to order two at this price, each, if you want one for each side of the coach.

I'm not sure that is such a BIG sale price since that is higher than my everyday price I sell them for...
