Who uses tandem wheel chocks?

[Splitrock]

Similar to these?



I know nothing. I'm looking for brand name, features, price points, more . . .

Thanks!

If I'm posting on the wrong forum, whip me with a wet antenna:-)

I use those exact kind. I just got a second pair. They are awesome.

They dont get better than this.They are worth ever penny spent.

Ditto....we use them as well -- totally worth it (just be sure that your significant other remembers to take BOTH off when you hitch up and leave)!

I have a set of Rotochoks,I think I only used them 1 time,a site that wasn`t very level. Dave

I had a metal set a long time ago.to heavy and bulky.The rotos are made of aluminum and a hard plastic.It is very light and easy to use with the removable handle.No worrying about finding tools to put them on.

I use something similar on our 28' International; essential on our sloping driveway. I put them on whilst still hitched, then release and refit once I'm unhitched and level.

It says on the box to use them only in conjunction with other chocking systems, but my backup chocks simply don't get to see any action at all.

Lucy uses the single plate Bal Chocks. We usually use just one unless the site is really unlevel.

I useuse a pair of them, and I admit tire chocks as well. Use the tire chocks to get the AS set, then the X-Chocks to keepit steady.

We have the exact set that you have pictured, Splitrock. Very easy to use, lightweight and lockable for added theft protection. We use it every time we park, but is especially useful for the blocked up (levelers) side of your rig. Would absolutely purchase again.

Rotochoks look like this?

Does the installer crank a handle?

I hadn't heard of them. Thanks!

These look like the big brother to the x-chocks.

They look nice,

Thanks!

Yes.You get a 10'' bar with a handle on it(I believe it is that long.Maybe longer).I use it no matter what.As long as it is parked I have them on.It only take a few turns and you pop the lock in place and thats it.
In the picture,The bar is in the bottom chock.there is a hole there so you can use it to twist the bottom chock out from between the tires.Once you do that it pretty much comes out with you hands easily.

I have a pair of those or my Classic. They work great.

That helps! Thanks for the additional information.

Gary, I like the type you have. I currently have a 2 sets of the BAL single-scissors type on my 34'. Although they work, I have never been impressed. I will be looking for BAL X-CHOCK. Thanks for posting it. JB

We haven't used anything but chocks, can you tell us why you like these so much. Is it because they lock or because they stop movement?

Both -- they lock (which is a good deterrent) and stop the movement (especially on inclines). We haven't used a chock since we bought ours.

Here is an installation video.The only thing is that I put the setup the other way.Meaning the main piece on top instead of the bottom.seems easier to put on that way.

That's pretty neat. Thanks! I like the lock hole feature.
