Extended x chocks
Just curious if anyone has tried the extended xchocks on their jayco. We moved up from a single axel to a 23 mbh and I was wondering if I bought these would they work

We have a Whitehawk 28DSBH and I was wondering the same thing. They are about $125 for a pair shipped. I'll be interested in the responses. Does your Camper have the same split axel as the 28 DSBH?

We have them on or WhiteHawk. They do make a difference.

Yes. The 23 MBH is in the white hawk line and does have the wide axels

The best way to level your trailer is crack open a beer and put it on the counter, if it doesn't fall off your level....lol

re X Chocks. I bought a couple for my new 30' White Hawk. I have never used any XChock before so I don't know if they are better or worse than any other. These do work but lack a little being perfect. They also take a few minutes to install and pull off so I don't use them for overnight stops. However, they do go a long way towards stopping trailer movement.

If you have a drummer in the family you can put them in a chair and watch for drool, ideal is drooling from both sides of the mouth. (ok, before everyone gets angry at me I am a life long musician and that's an old joke)

I have a 30' Whitehawk and bought these. Never had them before. I agree that for overnight, too much bother but for longer stays I'm glad I have them. They do take several minutes to extend each one and I have to set them before we extend slides. This slows down my wife a bit but we have no regrets.

I use extended chocks on one side (side on blocks), onestep chocks on the other. Works well for me... do my initial chock using the onestep chocks upon arrival/leveling (e.g. prior to unhooking), then setup the extended chock after unhooking from truck.

They do work well with our White Hawk. To save time, I do not retract them all the way when removing. As soon as they're loose enough to remove, I take them out and put them in the storage compartment as is. That reduces my install time on the next trip considerably.

We just bought the 23m model which is very similar to the whitehawk 23mbh model. I have to admit I didn't give much thought to the twin axle configuration and don't know if it is the same as the whitehawk. I then bought the BAL xchock kit but am now wondering if they will work on our trailer. The trailer is now in winter storage so I can't get at it to measure the distance between the tires. Does anyone know if the standard xchock kit will work on this model?

I was under the impression that it would not work because of the wide axels but I do not know that for a fact
